JBL Professional has announced the PRX700 Series portable loudspeakers, the next generation in JBL’s PRX portable PA line. It’s more than just a lick of paint and a new badge on the previous 600 series – there’s now a 10-inch model (PRX710) and the two self-powered subwoofer models are either the 15-inch (PRX715XLF) or 18-inch (PRX718XLF) models. Otherwise you get the PRX712, 12-inch 2-way multipurpose loudspeaker and floor monitor, the PRX715, 15-inch, 2-way full-range main system/floor monitor, the PRX725, 15-inch, 2-way bass reflex loudspeaker and the PRX735, 15-inch, 3-way full-range main system. All the full-range cabinets are powered with 1500W Class D amplification – up from the 1000W used in the 600’s. The input panel on the full-range models offers two balanced XLR-1/4” combination inputs and two unbalanced RCA inputs. Other features are a signal presence LED for each channel, selectable system EQ (Normal and Boost for 710, 725, 735 or Main and Monitor for 712, 715), a Mic/Line switch for channel 1 and Ground Lift for CH2. The input panel on the low-frequency models (PRX715XLF and PRX718XLF) have a Signal Presence LED for each channel, Polarity button, Pass Thru button for Hi Pass or Full Range, balanced XLR-1/4” combo input for channels 1 and 2, balanced XLR Loop Thru output connectors and a front LED On/Off button. Full specs are on www.jbl.com. It’s a bit early for Australian prices and availability, but we’ll keep an eye out.
