The volume knobs are for input sensitivity, you can get the exact same amount of spl out of them regardless of the "volume" pot. just depends on the output level of your mixer etc

I just heard these in the store. I am really interested. However kinda skeptical on relying on an app for xover/eq. Wish they had dedicated knobs for this

All professional equipment works with +4db volume add a professional mixer or controller

JBL PRX subs pack an awesome amount of bass into a lightweight cab. What a shame that JBL sabotaged their PRX line with their clumsy, braindead PRX Connect app. Everything about this app is misguided and awkward, starting with the manual wifi connection and ending with the clueless PRX-only speaker configuration setup. Fortunately, the sub can be used with the minimal back-panel controls as a stand-alone sub, but if you ever need to do a custom EQ/time align setup, prepare to waste more tim than you expect. Also, the total absence of customizable limiter controls is INEXCUSABLE.

i was seriously considering the 800 series but after watching the video at around 5 minutes in im amazed that for the kind of money JBL are charging i would have liked the top box to sit central on the pole, like most other manufactures that try to design a top box with monitor capability's the cab never looks "straight" always appear the lean to the left, maybe only 1 in thousand performers would even notice it, same story with QSC K series...........

Thank you brother. Exactly the info I needed.

Thanks for the great information...I am looking at getting the sub...Take Care

Cheers mate great run down, very helpful. I agree with your comments about QSC.

Very good review bro. You're very detailed and talk clear. I am getting back into Dj'ing so will eventually be needing new speakers so I am reviewing all the main brands ( JBL, QSC, Peavey, RCF etc. ). I just bought a set of Pioneer PLX-1000's and the Pioneer DJM S9 battle mixer. AWESOME GEAR!

Great review , but im sure Alto ts315 pushes more bass than the jbl and the Qsc 12.2

Hi from the Philippines! Just bought a pair of jbl prx815 theres a huge difference using prx800 connect specially the new update. The sound is so balance and wow sounds good. Any advice how to not blow the speaker using the app. Sorry for my english

I got me two behringer speakers and have never clipped them.

I am watching this video again to see if I can get more info about my situation. Mine have gone out with the prx connect running. I don’t think I did anything wrong but I am now down two speakers with no resolve. I need help.

Nice review how are those subs handling the bass at your gigs up to today?

Thank you for uploading this video .. Great info

Nice Review. I had these speakers (prx812w) since they came out last year and used them for several gigs already and they are really nice if you know how to use them. I also was playing aroung with the wifi control for a while until I got the best sound that satisfied my ears. Overall I think the highs and mids are crystal clear and only nedded more bass therefore I added a bit more bass playing around with the EQ's. Not sure how you blew them, but definetly I do not want to do that. :) Also, before I purchased them I was about to buy the K12's and had them tested at guitar center side by side and honestly these have better highs and mids in my oppinion. The K12's have more low end but their highs and mids at a high volume was hurting my ear. Even the guy at guitar center who claims to be a big fan of QSC accepted these sound better, so good purchase my friend.

Trying to convince my boss to buy these. For one of our clubs. One where we mostly just have DJs coming in, and plugging in. Without an active sound guy. Do you still feel good about the purchase?

Nice Speaker when the monitor is active when the light is on or off?

Would these have powerful bass in a 30x24 room without a sub and with some equaliser setting?

Do you have any background noise from prx818lfx on idle? I m thinking to use two of these for movies in my house that’s why i m asking. Thank you.

Do you use polarity button? And it is work with one subwoofer :?

Ordered a pair last week. B-stock for $599 each. super excited! how are they holding up?

Good review. Just kind of curious as to why you don't like the hi-pass filter? Filters are how you get a cleaner sound, not to mention making your speakers/subs work more efficiently.

Hi D. J. Raphiki Nice review. Just 1 question, am intending to buy 4 tops of the PRX815, and two subs. Do you think they will provide a good outdoor sound for at lest 100-200 crowd?

The volume on the back of any jbl is meant to be put wide open. Main reason I think is cause most use the app and control settings that way or like my self have a system processor such as the DBX Driverack PA2. With that I can turn down volumes remotely and do all of my crossover and compressor settings.... You get true SPL output that way...

Is there an App that will sync with these Speakers? I am only seeing the one that works with EON SPEAKERS?

i just got a pair ... upgrade from my JBL EON G2's !! Lol

How do you get your subs sounding loud? I have to turn my subs to max just to hear it barely

Nice review.. I got these prx815w about 2 months.. local Dj.. I like the speakers but I feel the limit light comes on quick..not so loud volume.. if I see the light flicker .. should I lower the volume , spoke w a rep where I got em and he says no..

Are you still liking these speakers? I am looking at buying those subs real soon

I just purchased the jbl prx 815s, does anyone know why there is a range blinking light in back of the inside of the speaker?

I just bought a pair of the prx815 with the 18” sub i just feel like im not getting the full potential from these speakers with the mixer i have im using a behringer 502 xenyx

Hey !Do you use WIFI PRX app for Subs EQ:?

Nice review,

El parlante PRX 800 / CUANTO ES SU RMS -altos y bajos

What's the range and how big a venue would it fill.

Hey, I have the prx812w. Have you installed the new company update for the app if so how is the sound then? And is the user interface easier and better?

Wonder if you could help. I just bought these this weekend. I just feel like I'm not getting enough volume out of them. What lights should be turn on in the back of the speaker? They sound low if mic light is not on.

I'm considering buying a top line PA speakers and the question is which are the best pa ones I mean there are EV ETX's and so there are srx seres as well as the prx which is overviewed in this video but I want the best sound quality with a nice warm punchy bass and clear highs which one fits my needs the most?

Cool Review! How many people can listen to the sound of this set up? Up to 500, less or more? :) I use the same set up ;)

D.J. Raphiki Hi bud i just wanted to ask do you need the app or does it make a change in output as you dont have a boost button on the back of the sub and does the app set the sub better as by all means in low frequency's as you have 8 different kinds of eq to set. Thank you

WOuld oyu get these over the yamaha dxr15s? Looking to listen to them, but looks like you like them, Just sold my QSC k12.2s ( limited too quickly)

I got these jbl speakers and just a question why does my fan not work.

I'm teetering between EV or JBL for my new setup.

Do you play with this subwoofer outdoor :?

Well after a little over a year of use one of my woofers blew.. I’m always watching my levels.. I stress my clipping.. great sounding but to me the spl it claims should be louder.. idk? Had to do a quick eminence woofer replacement.. doesn’t have the same sound, more highs than low smh.. I expected more.. although sound wise .. amazing.. loudness not impressed.. will replace woofer soon enough but damn.. over $300 for a replacement woofer Jbl, smh..

hey bro, thanks for the video, do you have any thoughts about the JBL835p?

Nice Speaker bro i have 2 of those

hi... we just recently bought some and used them for the first time..but did not get a crystal clean sounds.... any ideas on what we might of done wrong

How many subs would i need for 4000sqm?

Do u use speaker covers to protect your investment

is it good for home use bro. I listen to music and karaoke sometimes on the weekend. Let me know. Thanks!

Your camera man doesn't know what he's doing

What better 718 or 818

Do you feel the bass in the chest with the PRX818 ?

And what the rms on these

Nice vid bro. I'm about to build a setup with the pro. Can you give me some info on what I should get to go with it. Like maximizer, cross over, equalizer etc

Jbl prx818 slaps I just got it clear bass response

Too Bad JBL can not even figure out how to drill the mounting socket. Never ever have seen a set, where both sat on the pole straight, always one does, but the other leans, looks like crap. Do they care obviously not, because this has been a problem forever,

U said behringer and u lost my vote

How many times did he say ummm

UMMM

Typical crap review as usual from people. It seems no-one knows how to review speakers properly, you review speakers by letting people listen to them on camera to get SOME kind of idea what they sound like and I say some because camera microphones are rubbish. You also review the speakers by mentioning what their clarity is like, how clear do they sound in the vocal frequency range, how clear is the punch from kick drums, is there are muddiness in the kick drums, what's the high frequency like, is it loud and clear or is it a little harsh on the ears etc...What's the overall sound like is it a clear sound or is it a slightly more linear sound meaning do the speakers sound more like studio monitors. You also measure the SPL output of the speaker using a class 2 calibrated SPL meter mounted on a microphone stand at exactly one metre away from the front grilles. If a speaker is active you test and mention how easy the DSP is to use if it has settings that can be changed, how heavy are the speakers in kilograms, people will want to get some idea how are they for lifting onto speaker stands. How the handles are placed are they placed are they well placed making the speakers easy to pick up. Some handles on speaker cabs aren't great so picking them up is not easy. How much electric do the speakers use at full tilt, you measure that by connecting the speakers to a plug electric meter. What are the grilles like, are they reasonably strong'ish or very strong, customers will need to know that incase anything gets dropped onto the grilles when moving the speakers or if they get accidentally kicked as someone stands near them. Reviews have to be intensive or they're useless to potential customers.
