JBL JRX215 - User Manual

JRX215
Key Features:
䉴 JBL 15 in low frequency driver
with a 64 mm (2.5 in) diameter
edgewound ribbon voice coil
which provides more cross-
sectional wire area in the voice coil
gap than round wire designs, for
greater efficiency and power
handling.
䉴 JBL 2414H-C 25 mm (1 in) polymer
diaphragm compression driver
improves high frequency
performance as well as system
reliability..
䉴 The advanced network topology
crossover design shapes the
frequenc y response to deliver
coherent summation in the
crossover region.
䉴 High-voltage capacitors and
inductor s with massive cores and
heavy gauge wire enable the
crossover network to handle high
power without saturating.
䉴 Progressive Transition™ high-
frequenc y waveguide provides
superior coverage control, reduced
distortion, and smoother frequency
response.
䉴 The rugged, acoustically superior
enclosure is constructed from
19 mm (.75 in) MDF (Medium
Density Fiberboard) using
advanced adhesives and
mechanica l fastener technology for
extreme durability and improved
low-frequency performanc e.
䉴 SonicGuard™ protects the high-
frequenc y driver from excess
power without interrupting the
performanc e.
䉴 Non-resonant, all-steel handles are
used .
䉴 Attractive 18-gauge hexagon
perforate d, steel grille protects
component s from damage.
䉴 Dual-angle pole-mount socket
allows the speakers to tilt 10° for
more uniform audience coverage.
The JRX215 is a portable, fifteen-inch, two-way speaker system designed
specifically for applications in live music, music playback, and
reinforcement of speech. With the smooth, natural sounding mid-range of
the system, the JRX215 does a great job projecting live vocals, solos and
speech. The extended lows and great top-end make it at home for music
playback in DJ applications or anywhere live sound reinforcement is
needed . Features include the dual-angle, 36 mm pole-mount socket as well
as Neutrik
