The JBL PRX925 redefines the standard for professional portable PA systems, taking performance to a new level. This self-powered, two-way loudspeaker is designed for audio professionals who accept no compromises, offering a combination of advanced acoustics, comprehensive DSP, unmatched power, and durability ready for the most demanding tours. Equipped with two imposing 15-inch woofers, the PRX925 delivers exceptional midrange performance and deep, punchy bass, maintaining crystal-clear definition even at maximum volumes. It's the perfect solution for A/V rental companies, touring musicians, DJs, and any application requiring powerful, high-fidelity sound capable of filling large spaces.
The heart of the PRX925 is its powerful Class D amplifier, delivering 2,000 watts of peak power and 1,000 watts RMS. This design is not only incredibly efficient and lightweight, but also fanless, ensuring quiet operation ideal for noise-sensitive environments. The 18mm birch plywood enclosure, reinforced with an optimized bracing system, not only ensures exceptional durability, but also enhances the low-frequency response, making it precise and free of unwanted resonances.
Main Features
Precision Acoustics
The PRX925's acoustic system comprises two 15-inch JBL 915H ferrite woofers and a 1.5-inch JBL 2408H-1 compression driver with a polymer ring diaphragm. These high-performance components, along with updated JBL Image Control waveguides, ensure wide and even 90° x 50° sound dispersion, enveloping the entire audience in coherent and detailed sound. The bass port design, optimized using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), dramatically reduces air noise and distortion, even at high sound pressure levels.
Total Control with Advanced DSP
Complete sound control is at your fingertips thanks to a comprehensive DSP package accessible via the integrated color LCD screen or remotely through the JBL Pro Connect app. This system incorporates dbx's acclaimed DriveRack technology, including Automatic Feedback Suppression (AFS), a system limiter to protect the drivers, and up to 180 ms of delay for perfect timing alignment. It also features a 12-band parametric equalizer for fine-tuning the system and optimized presets for seamless subwoofer integration.
Connectivity and Remote Management
The JBL Pro Connect app, available for iOS and Android, allows complete Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) control of up to 10 PRX900 series speakers and other compatible JBL families. Adjust levels, EQ, mute, and effects from your tablet or smartphone, greatly streamlining the setup and adjustment process during any event.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an external power amplifier for this speaker?
No. The JBL PRX925 is an active, or self-powered, speaker. It includes its own 2,000W peak Class D amplifier, so you only need to connect it to a sound source and a power outlet.
Can I control multiple PRX925 speakers at the same time?
Yes. Using the JBL Pro Connect app on an iOS or Android device, you can simultaneously control an ecosystem of up to 10 compatible speakers, adjusting their DSP and mixing individually or as a group.
Is this speaker suitable for outdoor events?
The PRX925 is built with durable, touring-ready materials. However, it does not have a specific IP rating for water resistance. For outdoor use, it is recommended to protect it from direct rain and extreme humidity to ensure its longevity.
What type of subwoofer is recommended to complement the PRX925?
For optimal low-frequency extension, it is recommended to pair the PRX925 with subwoofers from the same series, such as the JBL PRX918XLF, to ensure sound coherence and seamless integration through the available DSP presets.
