JBL SRX 815P Review: First Impressions - GREAT SOUND but NOT FOR NEWBIES.

[@ab-cx6bd]

I appreciate your review and the effort you took for the video - Thank you. But i wouldn’t underestimate the intelligence of the users to set up the DSP, or even leave the default settings. These are fabulous speakers for any application! As you mentioned, It is one or two classes above the rest of the speakers you referenced. Also as you mentioned, these speakers are just one step below line arrays. Cheers Brother..

[@SanFranciscoFatboy]

they r pretty simple to set up...... unless you are from mars

[@AZLATINDJ]

No they are not complicated, all you do is plug in and go, you can go in and play with the settings but factory settings are just fine. Im using EV ETX 15p, same level

[@djhd3000]

You can just plug in and go, but you are not utilizing the speakers full potential. The factory EQ settings are flat, but once you set it up with the DJ "smiley face" curve, it pounds much harder (sounds like you are using a subwoofer). You don't get that out the box and must connect and configure the speakers via the software... You're welcome.

[@dantonliam]

AZLATINDJ thank you for saying what I was thinking

[@toro6908]

You probably don’t know how to set your limiter and get all the juice from it. Neither to EQ it.

[@clemybeatz8031]

@@djhd3000 at first if you just take the passive ones you just have to plug and play without a single knob. Just a Speaker in and a Speaker Through. Second point: actually it is for newbie cause you have to configure by software(?!?). A professional set of speaker just get Controlled by an amp with an integrated Limiter, a crossfade and a good mixing console. Third: Why the hell you go into your monitor with about 800 W with an unbalanced 1/4 jack input and not as usual with an xlr...

I’m a new noob. I’m getting these bad boys and I’m not even a dj. Thanks for the review

[@minnesotajack1]

Agree. PRX is more fool-proof and they still sound good

[@gazepelbasan9758]

I prefer RCF. No on-off button neither. Only stick speak on, raise volume & go

[@chrisalexander2712]

Wow this is so cool man sort of makes me want to sell my PRX's and upgrade! :P

[@djhd3000]

They are in a different class bro.

[@DJDEEDetroit]

@@djhd3000 lol I seen all his videos. He don't show where and how to set the gains. He show how to set them on that JBL App.And my slow ass! Just ordered today. The jbl srx828sp sub. And 2 QSC KS118 Subs. I even called jbl. They was no help to where to set the gain on 0db. Thanks anyway bro.

[@DJDEEDetroit]

Did u get the srx yet?

[@DBLG65]

The first couple of times I heard them I just wasn’t impressed. The Guitar Center audition with the iPhone doesn’t work for these or most speakers. A lot of people like colored sound out the box these are not. They’re monitor flat Then I tried them with a different preamp in a different room, much better. Added the jBl 828P sub with the proper DSP settings and played outdoors for 8 hours, I got impressed. Audio architect takes it up to another level. For mobile Djs with just four speakers it’s time consuming. You’d have more control but the extra Ethernet wires becomes a chore. Tried it with a DBX 360 more control but not overall better sound than using Audio architect or the SRX app. They’re heavy, hard to put on a stand by yourself because the speaker is wide and the handles are horizontal and not parallel. I’d recommend them for install or events where sound is critical and the ability to correct the sound is extremely important. For the average user the SRX series is overkill.

[@djhd3000]

Totally agree, this is an over the top system for your average mobile DJ.

[@ipbourne8456]

I agreed with your opinion. I took my jbl prx 815 to a party and a friend of mine wanted to connect his mic. He wanted to ajust the EQ inside according to the sound of his mic but unfortunately there wasnt any wifi at the funtion room. That is the downfall of this series. Now im looking for brand that they dont use wifi for EQ. Do you have any other suggestion brand?

[@chrisalexander2712]

Well you can't you hotspot with your phone?

[@DJDEEDetroit]

Hello I have a set where or what # do I set my gain? I am a newbe! I have 2 of these 2 Turborsounds IQ15 8 Mackie thump 15. 3rd gen. 2 Peavey RBN 118 subs, 2 Behringer B1800xp subs 3000W. with the turbosound woofers bad ass! But the JBL is hard to set up they way the gain is. So whats a good point to set the gain please. Thank u

[@ipbourne8456]

Jbl was my favourite but wifi setting technogy is putting me off. I prefer the old knob

[@Bcwilderness]

you dont just buy these you research first dude you can use the line in the combi for a mono aux in know your cables and can play from an mp3 phone guitar pedals mini mixer, plenty of options, but you go for the crown amp quality and sound overall, also get extra warranty these are not toy pa speakers for sure

[@ceres911]

Complicated?

Is it possible to connect my phone to these speakers and what cable do I need for that

[@gazepelbasan9758]

Jack 1.5 mm

[@moltenpros]

how do the JBL compare to the Yorkville EF15P

[@djhd3000]

In my opinion they are superior because you can eq them to similar frequencies to the Yorkvilles. They are still portable and can be used every gig. After I set the eq, they bang like there is a subwoofer in the room. Amazing speakers.

[@pappusaini2936]

nice

[@djwestman]

I wanna compare them with RCF TT25 Mk2

[@djhd3000]

Looks close but the specs say RCF are 1,500 watts max 1,100watts rms at 134 db and cost $2,800. JBL are 2,000 watts max and 1,500 watts rms at 137 db and cost $1,400. They both weigh 65 lbs.

@@EricReyes80 I'd love to get these srx speakers, can I get some advice? Between the 12 and the 15 in the srx series. I'm conflicted on which to get. I love the sound of 12 inches I have experience with elx200-12p but I appreciate the rumble and low tones on a 15 inch and have experience in the jbl jrx passives and ev ekx15p. I want the srx but it's a tough choice between the 12 or the 15

[@oscardaniel7622]

just use a dbx drive rack pa2

[@djhd3000]

I have one of those. I use it in my amp rack. I was able to get in the configuration settings and adjust it to what I want.

[@justaname1862]

The title is WRONG...it should be "NOT FOR DJ'S"! ....DJ'S barely know how to read...leave these things up to actual Musicians.

[@djhd3000]

This is a pretty negative and insulting comment. You should keep this to yourself.

[@HYAYP]

Exactly that is realy offenssive !@@djhd3000 A DJ that can afford these , means that he is taking is craft seriously and will be willing to put the effort to learn how to manage them. I wanna get these because beside private parties , I want to be able to organize my own shows and small concert. I have been researching on it for over a month right now and I saved a lot of videos to better understand how they work. If we learned how to manage a DJ controllers/softwares , it is not a speaker setting that will scared us. All knowledge is a gain , as long as you are willing to learn how thing work you should be fine. FUCK THAT COMMENT @justaname1862
