Thrilled to hear you’re happy after a year!

Thanks dude, it's been a bit of a minefield for myself (Solo singer/acoustic guitar & occasional guest vocal/guitar) choosing a decent PA with decent power output, portability & sound for me to use for gigs, but your reviews & demos have been a HUGE help in helping me choose I'm still shocked by the lack of inputs & EQ control on some of the other 'offerings' from some of the big name manufacturers, but these JBL's look like the best so far in my budget

You sir have gained a loyal sub and have sold me on this one, pulling me away from the L1 Pro16 with your video of the Pro32. I plan to finance two of these from zz sounds to start using at my local restaurant.

Thanks for your great detailed reviews and analyses.

Thank you! Quite helpful.

Nice to hear these are working out and you can speak highly of them

Bought my JBL PRX Ones right after your review. Still love them. And been doing my 150 guest events with them. Anything above I’m using my larger EV sub and tops.

thanks, I been looking at these for over a year you sold me on them. I'm a musician that plays in a duo and solo with backing tracks that i record here at home.

I totally agree!! I've had mine for nearly a year and thinking about getting another. You can't beat the quick setup. I use mine with a seven piece band for smaller venues and my JBL SRX and VRX Series for larger Venues.

Kudos for the honest "after a year review". Just a slight comment: packaging , transport, unloading and setting to a place any speaker is also very important for their extended life. Allow me to share that now days consumers are NOT following manufacturer instructions of maintenance, care of equipment and respective safety notes that will immediately impact the equipment performance or reduce the life span. By the way..one of the MOST bad habits of consumers is using a NOT outdoor rated speakers while direct sunlight(outdoors). 99% of electronic equipment manufacturer manual does say "DO NOT USE WITH DIRECT SUNLIGHT". I have seen other reviews pin pointing speakers weaknesses, failures, overheating etc. Basically those issues are because refused to read instruction manuals or buy an affordable speaker and expected to do same like a premier speaker. Once again! Kudos for the review..You getting lot better :). Thank you

I agree 💯%! I still have my 2 and they are amazing!

After the bose L1 Pro 16 ended up on back order after I purchased them, I ended up grabbing the PRX One right out of the store. All I can say is, my god these sound incredible.

Great review! I know you don't have these speakers anymore, but maybe you can do an oral comparison video of: JBL PRX One, Bose Pro16, EV50, RCF Evox12. No one on KZfaq has done this in one video.

Just received my first prx one came in today. Can't wait to try it out

JBL PRX One. Great portable system, decent power, and great for DJs. Thats about it. I just bought one and I tried to love it, but Im selling it straight away. This system is terrible for bands. There is almost no low mids in the sound. Its just a big smiley face eq sound with huge low end, and average top end. The onboard eq was useless. I had to make extreme eq curves in the top end just to stop it sounding like someone had put a blanket over the speaker. Run it thru its paces against the EV Evolve 50 and although the JBL has a more power, the EV sounded crisp, the bottom end was punchy and tight, and the top end was way more open. If using for a band, Id advise going into the store and comparing this system with other systems. Wood boxes make a huge difference!

I've owned mine since 2021. Haven't looked back. I can't imagine gigging without it.

I agree with you, I bought PRX One following your review and I bought a second one. I am very satisfied with this system, it is certainly one of the best current column systems in this category, I have tested many other column systems and I have not found anything better at the moment. It has flaws and is not perfect but still better than the competition.

Also with the Thru Out I can add a powered JBL monitor or sub if needed.

Watched a few of your PA videos which are great. Which Compact PA would you recommend to put a full 4 piece band through (Guitars Bass and Drums) in normal sized venues as Ideally we would like to go silent and put everything through the PA?

How do you connect from the tv to prx one? And how does it sound like with this connectivity? I’m deciding between jbl prx 1 and Bose l1 8 pro since both are not too far in terms of price as I also need just 2 mics connect to it. This is for home purpose only hence why I would want the tv also connected.

finally got my jbl prx one fix i got two for stereo and very satisfied they pay for themselves already doing wedding,quince,sweet16 gigs and house party people listen how great and loud sound so i get a booking from those gigs

I've been trying to get the right settings for dj use, but found it difficult to use without it limiting. Can you provide the settings to use so it reducing the limiting coming from controller. I'm using a sound board since the app is not so great. Any reply/help from Opaz or the other community members will be appreciated.

Great video! Thanks! Question, can you connect another mixer up to one of line in jacks to potentially have more microphone channels? I want to have 6 microphones, and was wondering if that was possible. Thanks for any answers.

I am gonna wait and see if they come out with a srx system like this that can handle a fully miced up band

The PRX ONE has been great for quick setups. How do you daisy chain two of these? I know I can come out of the Thru Out, but connecting the second PRX ONE where do I connect ? Or can I connect thru Bluetooth?

Thanks for the review! Would two of these be able to support a band of five-six players (drums/bass) in a smaller venue of about 200 people? Do you recommend using a seperate mixer when using two?

It’s very strange I haven’t seen one DJ demo this speaker at an event were they are rocking the house. You see Evolve 50s, Rcf J8s, Bose L1pro16s, Maui G28s, G44s etc… But not these, I wonder what’s up with that? Much respect to you your videos I watch them over and over again, can’t get enough or I feel like I might have missed something important.

hello Opaz, first of all thank you for your work on this channel that I just discovered. I am DJ mainly for private, wedding etc. Basically I wanted to go with the Ld 28g2 mainly for portability, because I admit I'm a little tired of carrying around big subwoofers. I was able to test a pair of 28g2 yesterday... the sound is relatively clear and good but I'm not satisfied with the double 8". the sound lacks depth for my taste. I looked at the 44g2 but too expensive I think. I heard about this famous prx one, I don't necessarily need all the inputs, usually I only use the XLR input, so it's not a priority argument. my question is mainly about the sound part, is the prx one as clear as the LD? the bass is sufficient to mix any type of music ranging from hip hop to house and electro for example. In advance I thank you, do not hesitate to direct me to other systems if necessary. musically

Hi Opaz. Because of your videos, I've purchased 2 JBL PRX ONE units for DJing purposes. What settings do you recommend for best clarity and bass response?

Is there any midrange in those 12 speakers in the column? Im eyeing on those as a karaoke speaker but my concern the presence of a midrange speaker will be good addition. but in the mixer, it says you can control the mids?….

I found the inclusion of the RCFs in this video confusing. What role do they play?

How many pounds does the sub weigh?

Im a Techno DJ and planing to buy 2 new speakers and subs for small outdoor events. But not sure if i will go for a JBL PA system or just buy 2 x JBL Partybox 1000 ? Anyone one here who have done a comparison between a PA system and the Partybox ?

Hi! Nice reviews on this channel! After watching this video I'm wondering about buying 2 of JBLs PRX, but yesterday I almost decided to buy 2 RCF HDM 45-A, also after watching your video! :D I have Soundcraft ui24r digital mixer and planning to buy one nice PA system to use it for years. I always borrowed some older ones like Yamaha DXR15 or RCF 4PRO 3031-A (or 2031-A) and various subs from my friends, to mix live gigs (outdoor - small festivals and indoor - wedding bands, also quite frequently worship music in old churches with very long reverberation time). It was kind of OK, but i want to bring my sound to another level and I'm looking for a good solution. Could you compare them to HDMs in option with and without sub like RCF 8003-AS II? Also looking for nice budget friendly stage monitors/sidefills...

Is there a video about adjusting the EQ manually instead of using the app

Any valid reason to choose es1203 over this? Been thinking about getting 2 ES1203's or ES1002's. ...Wedding DJ who likes to play loud

I have two JBL PRX ONE, Is it possible connect both together?

Can’t agree more. I have two and use them for 90% of my gigs. Inside or outside. Weddings up to 150ppl. School events. It takes them all. After trying the Bose and the EV, the JBL was the clear winner and still is. It’s a shame JBL has such a bad rep over here in the US. 90% of my DJ friends use EV50’s despite the fact that the JBLs are superior in pretty much every aspects.

It doesn't have any monitor/aux outs? Bit pointless for a lot of people.

I bought the PRX1 the other day... did an AB comparison with Pro32 Sub2 at a medium sized gig ..... Not even close... returned the JBL

Anyone by chance know where I could get a subwoofer replacement or what the exact part number is for the replacement sub for the prx one?

Hi there I’m in the market for one of these but have been put off by the whole app not working and no support issues people seem to be having . Can ALL of the functionality of the app be done from the unit ? If so I think it’s still my front runner Would you still recommend in 2024?? Cheers

When you were doing weddings were you only using one prx ?

How many people do you think one unit will cover?

How do you hook two of them up together

Db ES1203 or this PRX? Looking for a mobile dj rig that fits in my car

You don’t like the EV Evolves 50m 🤔

How are the highs on the PRX One and on the db ES1203? are they warm, smooth and gentle? I now have an EV50M with me and about to return it. I can't stand how sharp and harsh the highs on the EV50 are. Also, the mids are lacking on 50, and I miss them. Wondering if the es1203 highs are softer and easier on the ears? ... Also what about the highs and the mids of PRX One? I"m looking for more of a HiFi sounding set and joy of listening. I've also had an EON ONE MK2 for a month, and that was surprisingly good - while not the most accurate reproduction and not the loudest, the EON ONE MK2 appears to be a very balanced speaker with a powerful DSP. After setting the EQs the way I like them, I rarely reach out to lower the volume on the EON ONE MK2, unlike the on the EV50 where I often want to reduce the level, due to the harsh & sterile sound it delivers. It doesn't matter what EQ settings I use with the EV50, it's always "too much". I need a better speaker, and louder than EON ONE MK2. Which of the speakers that you know delivers more balanced, warm and soft sound with more of a HiFi signature, yet loud and powerful - is it the PRX One, the ES1203, or something else. Thanks!

Still using these for weddings?

So it is better than the evolve

Stopped watching half way through. Talked about everything except jbl prx.
