JBL PRX ONE - All-in-One Column PA System with Mixer and DSP
The JBL PRX ONE is the ultimate professional audio solution, an all-in-one column PA system that combines power, performance, and portability. Designed for musicians, DJs, presenters, and any professional who demands pristine sound with easy setup, the PRX ONE delivers an unparalleled listening experience. Its design integrates an acoustically optimized speaker column, a powerful woofer, a 7-channel digital mixer, and a comprehensive professional digital signal processor (DSP), all in a compact and easily transportable package.
At the heart of the PRX ONE is an impressive vertical array of 12 2.5-inch drivers, custom-engineered to deliver incredibly consistent and natural high-frequency response. Thanks to JBL's exclusive AIM (Array Illumination Mechanics) technology, the array's shading is geometrically optimized to ensure perfectly balanced sound coverage from the front to the back row. This is complemented by a wide dispersion pattern of 130° horizontally and 30° vertically, ensuring that everyone in the audience enjoys the same high-quality audio. For bass, a robust 12-inch bass-reflex woofer extends the frequency response down to a deep 35 Hz, providing a full and rich sonic impact.
Power is guaranteed by a 2000-watt (peak) and 1000-watt (RMS) Class D amplifier, delivering clean sound, enormous dynamic range, and very low total harmonic distortion. This translates to a maximum sound pressure level of 130 dB, more than enough to fill medium-sized rooms, venues, or outdoor events. Connectivity is versatile and comprehensive, with four low-noise microphone preamps, two high-impedance (Hi-Z) instrument inputs, an auxiliary input, and Bluetooth 5.0 for audio streaming and complete remote control via the JBL Pro Connect app.
