JBL SRX812P (unit)

SRX800: The Portable Series Designed for Field Use and Homogeneous Systems

With the SRX800 series, JBL targets a mobile sound reinforcement standard focused on performance and system coherence. The approach is clear: combine recent JBL transducers, DriveCore amplification derived from Crown's expertise, and advanced DSP to facilitate the deployment of a complete system. The SRX812P naturally integrates into an SRX800 inventory, with a logic of settings and presets enabling quick assembly of homogeneous, robust configurations suited for intensive use.

For Whom and For What Uses? A Versatile Active Speaker

The JBL SRX812P is aimed at contractors, bands, DJs, sound engineers, and venues seeking a powered speaker that is both powerful and easy to deploy. Its 12-inch format makes it relevant for front-of-house sound reinforcement at many events (speeches, amplified music, small to medium stages) while remaining compact enough for transport constraints. It can also be used as a stage monitor to provide precise and impactful monitoring, with useful DSP tools to quickly adapt to stage acoustics.

Processing, Amplification, and Control: An SRX812P Built for Precision

JBL Differential Drive Transducers: Power and Efficiency

The SRX812P features a JBL 2272F 300 mm (12-inch) woofer and a JBL 2432H 37.5 mm (1.5-inch) high-frequency driver. The Differential Drive design, claimed to be optimized to reduce weight while increasing power handling, reflects a pursuit of performance and durability, with a solid low-frequency response for a speaker of this size.

400 MHz Sharc DSP: Advanced Settings and User Presets

Each speaker in the SRX800 series integrates a 400 MHz Sharc DSP designed for in-depth digital audio processing. Features include 20 parametric EQs, up to 2 seconds of delay, a signal generator, input mixing, and amplifier module monitoring, all storable in 50 user presets. Compatibility with JBL V5 presets relies on FIR filters (described as phase linear) operating at 96 kHz, as well as a LevelMax level limiter similar to that used on JBL line array systems.

DriveCore by Crown: 2000 W Peak and High Dynamics

The DriveCore amplification module developed by Crown delivers a rated 2000 W peak power in Class D. With a signal-to-noise ratio of 103 dB, the SRX812P aims for high-level reproduction while maintaining comfortable dynamic headroom and low distortion, which is especially appreciated for transients (kick, bass, percussion, vocals) and dense mixes.

HiQnet: Simplified Configuration and Network Control

HiQnet compatibility allows centralized control of multiple SRX800 speakers. The network connection can be made via wired Ethernet using Neutrik etherCON connectors, and wireless configuration is possible by adding a WiFi router (depending on the chosen architecture). For operation, the control interface is designed to speed up setup, with control compatibility from PC and mobile devices iOS and Android via software solutions provided by the HiQnet ecosystem.

Touring-Oriented Design: Transport, Rigging, and Versatility

The SRX812P is designed for professional and repeated use: ergonomic handles for handling, M10 suspension points for installations, and mounting sockets for poles or stands to cover various configurations. This approach facilitates both fixed installations and frequent assembly/disassembly during events.
