JBL Professional announced the new larger-than-life IRX Series of affordable, portable PA speakers at the 2020 NAMM Show.
JBL IRX Series portable PA loudspeakers are targeted to provide budget-minded users with iconic JBL Professional sound in a highly affordable, portable, feature-rich package without the guesswork. Designed for performers, presenters and instructors alike, they are the class-leading choice in the entry-level portable PA market. JBL 108BT and 112BT provide class-leading volume, clarity, and total ease of use with performance that exceeds their size, with the convenience of the latest in Bluetooth streaming technology.
The series, which includes the 8-inch IRX108BT, 12-inch IRX112BT and 15-inch IRX115S subwoofer, provides legendary JBL fidelity and robust output in a compact footprint, thanks to custom, pro-grade drivers that are engineered to outperform larger competing systems.
IRX108 and IRX112BT loudspeakers provide superior sound without the guesswork, thanks to real-world EQ presets, built-in dbx automatic feedback suppression, Bluetooth streaming and one-touch music ducking. Round out your system with the JBL IRX115S powered subwoofer, which extends low-frequency response down to a room-shaking 35 Hz.
The IRX Series draws from seven decades of legendary JBL engineering to deliver ultra-portable, reliable speakers designed to outperform similar competing systems—and some bigger systems, too. The 8-inch IRX108BT, 12-inch IRX112BT and 15-inch IRX115S subwoofer produce the highest measured volume with the widest frequency response in their class, with SPL, wattage and performance ratings equivalent to much larger loudspeakers.
The IRX108BT and IRX112BT’s built-in Bluetooth audio streaming—accessible at the push of a button—lets you play recorded music between sets; link two speakers to create a true stereo image. Two Combo inputs and an XLR loop-out for additional speakers round out connectivity options.
Sound your best in seconds with the IRX108BT and IRX112BT’s real-world EQ presets modeled after a range of common performance scenarios. Built-in dbx automatic feedback suppression protects speakers—and your ears—by automatically stopping feedback before it starts. One-touch ducking automatically lowers music volume when speech input is detected, ensuring every word is heard loud and clear.
The IRX Series is engineered to deliver big-system sound in a compact footprint. Ultra-lightweight, durable polypropylene cabinets will have you loading in and out in minutes, and thoughtfully-designed handles make transport a breeze. In short, you’ll enjoy big, crystal-clear sound without the hassle of hauling a huge system.
Like every JBL speaker, IRX loudspeakers undergo 100 hours of stress testing to ensure they will perform flawlessly in real-world conditions.
Your live sound system isn’t complete without portable speaker bags and dependable high-quality stands for quick, reliable setup. JBL offers durable speaker bags by Gator, and a variety of gas-assist and manual-adjust speaker stands built to seamlessly match your IRX Series system and provide a reliable foundation for your next gig, event or tour.
