I have the older PRX815's and use them for indoor and out door gigs. It sounds good and has good headroom.

@Wouter.ErweeTech 4 ай бұрын

The do have a lot of headroom compared to some other speakers that you need to push into the red.

The RCF ART 945 kills this. That 4 inch horn in the RCF is so clean. The 15 inch woofer is amazingly clean.

@Wouter.ErweeTech 5 ай бұрын

I love RCF products! I recently listened to the 945 at NAMM 24 and it sounded great! Fun fact, in years gone by JBL speakers contained RCF drivers.

I like my Mackie DRM Series 15" (215). Made of wood. 135db SPL & 1600 watts. Excellent road ready speaker.

@Wouter.ErweeTech 4 ай бұрын

I am a big fan of any speaker design that uses wood. I do not have any science to back this up😀, but personally just believe the wooden enclosures sound better that any plastic mould design.

I picked up a pair on Offerup early this year for $2000. I pair them up with the Srx 900 series subs and they sound amazing with a 80hz filter on them. Only issue is one of them seems to freeze up. I cant dial anything on the screen it goes extremely slow and gets hot

2k is a decent price for those! I have actually heard of this issue before and that a firmware update seemed to solve the issue.

Could you please tell me which has the best sound, regardless of price or any other factors: the JBL PRX 815 or the JBL PRX 915?

@Wouter.ErweeTech 15 күн бұрын

Hello, I personally think the 815P actually sounds better. In my opinion wood built cabinets just sound better.

@ammihay 5 ай бұрын

I had the 815 for a few years. Good sound not as strong as they claim and had many many relibility problems. Could not realy on them at all any more. Now i am with rcf 745. Great speakers

Curious what kind of issues were you having? I have only had flawless experiences with them. Also, love the RCF's. New review video coming soon.

@@Wouter.ErweeTech one amp had to be replaced after 3 years, both of them had internal buzzing that shuold not hapend in a 2k pro speaker. Also in one of them the woofer stoped working from time to time. had to turn off and on for him to work again. Im a pro musician and doing 200 gigs a year , i cant work with somthing like that. RCF never failed me for 25 years that i own all kinds of their speakers

You got to find the one that works best for you! Everyone’s ears hear different things and sometimes there are bad batches that come out of a factory.

how about putting JBL SRX815P in car with portable Eco Flow battery pack that should sound amazing

Does the SRX series need a conditioner or a Voltage Regulator?

@Wouter.ErweeTech 4 ай бұрын

Hi there, Every SRX I have ever seen had auto voltage detection. AC Power Input: 100V - 240V~ 50/60 Hz. Meaning it will automatically detect input power voltage and adjust accordingly. This might not be the case depending on where you are in the world. Should be labelled right below to the IEC connector on the back. As for a conditioner, I do not see the need for it unless you are sure the power fluctuates often. These are often more used for sensitive rack equipment. Can you elaborate on why you think you need a conditioner/regulator?

@gerrymontellano5344 4 ай бұрын

@@Wouter.ErweeTech Thanks for your answer. I am in the state of Arizona, USA. Since the JBL SRX835P speakers are somewhat expensive, I was watching videos where they explain that you have to take care of your sound equipment, so I was thinking if my speaker needed to be protected when connecting it to electricity. With your answer, do you tell me that I can use it directly to any outlet in a house or event hall?

@lukaingo4650 3 ай бұрын

Can they be used at home as hifi equipment?

@Wouter.ErweeTech 3 ай бұрын

Yes, you could certainly use them. With that said, they are certainly not designed for Home Theater use. You would be much better served with a SONOS system and it would be half the price.

Thank you!@@Wouter.ErweeTech I was thinking to use with VS21 . But some people saying that it is just over priced. What would you recommend as sub ( small venue for EDM ) I prefer punchy and kicky rather than loudness. My concern is clean, neat sound. Own JBL sub?

no actual sound demo

@Wouter.ErweeTech 5 ай бұрын

Yeah, doing a sound demo via KZbin is in my opinion net going to tell you that much. So many variables: 1. Microphone used to record the audio for this video 2. Playback used to listen to video on KZbin My thoughts are that if you are only going to be using this speaker for your own events you should definitely book a sound demo at your local retailer and decide for yourself regarding sound quality. If you are planning to have these cabinet be used by Audio Technicians or Sound Designers at events, they will be more than happy with the sound quality.
