At
Winter NAMM 2013, HARMAN’s JBL Professional is introducing white versions of
its popular PRX415M and PRX412M passive portable loudspeakers. The new 15-inch
PRX415M-WH and 12-inch PRX412M-WH offers the same performance and capabilities
as the PRX412M and PRX415M, in a sleek white finish that offers systems
designers with another loudspeaker option to discreetly fit into various
environments that require white loudspeaker systems.
“The
PRX400 Series has been a tremendous success for end-users and sound contractors
who require exceptional sound and rugged reliability in a passive loudspeaker
format,” said Andy Flint, Senior Manager, Portable PA Marketing, Loudspeaker
Group. “In addition to our commitment to providing market-leading audio
performance, the PRX415M-WH and PRX412M-WH demonstrate our commitment to
providing a variety of aesthetic options for audio applications.”
The
PRX415M-WH and PRX412M-WH can be used as either floor monitors or for overhead
suspension in a permanent installation application where white enclosures are
desirable. As with all PRX400 Series loudspeakers, they are designed to work
hand in hand with Crown Audio’s powerful and innovative XTi2 Series amplifiers.
Crown XTi2 amplifiers incorporate enhanced pre-set performance tunings for
PRX400 Series loudspeakers, including crossover points for a sat/subwoofer
setup, and optimized parametric filter that bring out the full potential of
PRX400 Series loudspeakers. JBL PRX400 tunings are also available in the dbx
DriveRack® PA+ signal processor/complete
loudspeaker management system.
The
PRX415M-WH and PRX412M-WH utilize extremely high-quality, tour-tested drivers
and components to deliver clear, detailed and dynamic sound for bands, DJs,
nightclubs, schools, houses of worship or other professional touring and
installed sound applications. They feature Neutrik® SpeakON
combination connectors and are built from lightweight, yet extremely tough 18mm
birch/poplar multi-laminate hardwood covered in JBL’s resilient DuraFlex™
covering. They also feature rugged 16 gauge steel grilles with an acoustically
transparent white cloth backing.
The
PRX415M-WH and PRX412M-WH incorporate twelve M-10 suspension points and
hardened steel eyebolts for safe hanging in light-duty installations. In common
with all JBL Professional products, the PRX415M-WH and PRX412M-WH loudspeakers
have survived JBL’s 100-hour power test, in which they are submitted to 100
hours of continuous, high-level input. The speakers also go through a barrage
of unforgiving environmental and strength tests including harsh temperatures
and humidity, ensuring they will perform perfectly anywhere. They also
incorporate JBL’s Sonic Guard speaker protection circuit that automatically
attenuates the signal going into the high-frequency section of the speaker if
too much input signal is detected, and restores normal operation when the
overload condition passes.
