From Our Research Team:Legendary JBL Quality at Affordable Prices!The JBL MRX515 - part of the MRX500 Series Loudspeaker System - continues the JBL tradition of exceptional sound. Since its inception in 1927, the name JBL has been associated with excellence, innovation, and superior sound quality. That's why Leo Fender saw JBL's D130 as the ideal speaker for his guitar amps. Continuing to define the sound of rock, JBL also became the sound of Woodstock and other major rock festivals. JBL's speakers are held to the most rigorous standards in the industry, and audio professionals worldwide rely on them for that reason. Not just for stage, JBL studio monitors were ranked first in a U.S. recording industry survey by Billboard.JBL MRX515 At a Glance:
Newly Designed Drivers JBL Professional designed a brand new range of 400W Differential Drive transducers in 12" and 15" configurations, perfectly matched to the brand new 1.5" annular polymer diaphragm compression driver producing a transducer engine that weighs significantly less than traditional transducer designs, yet their performance, sound quality and power handling are extraordinary. The constant beamwidth and power response of MRX500's custom designed waveguide is perfectly matched to its direct radiating woofers which ensures superb coverage throughout the frequency range of the system. Updated Cabinet Design Combining mechanical design expertise, new materials and a DuraFlex finish, MRX500 enclosures have been optimized for minimum weight and maximum ruggedness. Utilizing years of design experience, MRX networks are built using proven components in the most sophisticated topologies in their class. For maximum reliability, all input and loop-thru connections are made via Neutrik NL4MP connectors. In addition, the input connections can be easily reconfigured on the subs, for an efficient sub/sat cabling option. The dual angle pole mount on the MRX515 offers much more control than the typical single mount. With a 10-degree down angle the speaker can be directed down toward your audience, keeping the energy off the back wall enhancing coverage and clarity. Lightweight and Portable Performing musicians have long sought a system that is easy to transport, set up and adjust to the room, in very little time and typically with no assistance. Being your own sound man requires a hassle free system that is predictable and reliable, allowing you to quickly shift your focus back to the performance. The MRX is extraordinary in its coverage, allowing you to deliver super high quality JBL sound to every seat in the house. DJ's are in constant need of wide bandwidth systems that can handle long hours of punishing, high decibel sound output with deep bass response, tight mids and crisp highs. But the mobile DJ must be able to achieve all this in an easily portable, super lightweight system. The MRX is without equal for this application, giving the flexibility, professional performance and road-tough durability that is as necessary as the quality of the sound.The MRX line is a high quality portable PA that is truly portable. It's a perfect solution for houses of worship, schools or any venue that requires a mobile system. If you need a PA that is as easy to store as it is to use - compact, powerful and manageable, the MRX500 Series is your choice for sound on the move, even when it's just to the next room.

Reviewsbased on 5 reviewsWow MRX 515
by Tony C from Massachusetts
Just did my first DJ gig with the 515's Unreal. I had JRX 115 before very heavy to lift on stands at my age.. Love the 515 mrx light and sound very very crisp.

I recently purchased a pair, and WOW they are sweet! They are punchy, brilliant, and so very easy on my back. I did my own performance test on them in my backyard. I set them on stands, on one end of ... read more [+]my yard spaced about 15 feet apart, ran them to a Crown XTi2000 in bridged mode, and only slightly increased the low end. With a few selected dynamic Blue Oyster Cult tunes cued on my laptop through my Mackie ONYX mixer, I cranked them up to the point I thought they were beginning to distort, and backed off the volume slightly. I then walked to the opposite end of my yard, about 75 feet away, and stood directly out in front of the MRX's. I could hardly believe how much earth-pounding punch and clarity my ears and body were witnessing! Great job JBL, these loudspeakers absolutely have my strongest recommendations. THEY ROCK!!! My neighbors must think I've lost it! I plan to purchase a couple more, to run side-by-side for larger crowds. close [-]

by Rock n' Roll Steve O. from Merrimac, WI
Go ahead muscle around with those powered active monsters not me! My amp rack has 4 handles and wheels and my mains are a new set of JBL MRX515's and MRX518's on poles and there's not a Mackie or EV t... read more [+]hat can touch 'em. The first time I used these I set my Rane EQ flat put on a 'Legs' from ZZ Top and just about jumped outta' my skin! WOW! I put the 518's crossed over at 150hz and the 515's full range I had to take a walk and see how the sound traveled and it only got better.
July 1, 2009 Music Background: Guitarist, Band Manager Different sound companies have run our band using EAW, Mackie, Peavey and JBL's JRX series front of house and I've never been that impressed with their overall performance but these speakers had definite OMG factors. I noticed as the band played that I actually had to turn up the mids and trim the highs (what sound man runs that configuration on their EQ!)I was warned that the new stuff from JBL was all junk by old time audiophiles, well I can't wait until they hear these! Oh, I put the 15! "two-way 515's on the poles by myself! Try saying that with an active speaker. The only problem was that when the band was on breaks the CD's sounded so good I wasn't sure they were going to want us back up but apparently they made us sound just as good...nothing but applause. Now the band is excited to play and no one minds helping load out anymore. Oh, I should address the 70x70 degree side to side range. Some folks think it's a little tight but when you're playing a smaller venue I noticed people who were fairly close to the band (within 20')sliding off to the sides to talk with each other I even caught myself doing it on break is this a bad thing? I don't think so kinda' like adding a wing to your wingding. My biggest reservation was could I put the whole band through these. No problem they seem to get better sounding at higher SPL's. By the way, if you're buying anything from anybody else you're getting ripped. Wait until you see how Sweetwater treats their customers! You won't believe it and you won't ever go anywhere else period and Ilive within 45min. of their biggest competitor. close [-] MRX 515=*****

I am a mobile DJ and was using DAS DS 15 which were fine but were a touch underpowered. I had JBLs prior to them and just knew that it wasn't the same without the safe sign of the little red badge, l... read more [+]et alone the monster handling. I was resigned to going with a less capable unit and was almost going for SX's when I came across the MRX's for a tip more. My mind was made, I took the speakers in on the Friday and they did their first gig that night and left the by them reconed DS 15's for the kerb. December 5, 2008 Music Background: Mobile DJ They are uber light to handle (I can lift them from a stand with my forearm), they sound easy handling 400watts per speaker, they really lift with a second speaker driven with them and their audio handling range is very good from top to bottom. They also have a dual top hat, handy for angling sound from a height. For the few quid extra, you will be blown way with such a practical speaker. close [-] Sound good, weight little; These are a big deal!
by Jerrod from Fort Wayne, IN USA
Wow. I have had a pair of these speakers for several months now, and I have been blown away. We use them as front fills in a 1300 seat auditorium, and they sound better than the slightly old, but extr... read more [+]emely expensive, Renkus-heinz speakers hung above them. On their own, they can easily fill the room [again 1300 seats] with sound and with no distortion. They are very lightweight; so much so that if you could get the handles to fit, you might be able to hold two in one hand. Regardless, they sound great and have stood up to 90-95 dB levels multiple times a week, for over 6 months. They are split before the amp from the main mix, through a Crown C1000 amp, with their own EQ. Fabulous. They have Speakon connection which are secure and strong. close [-]
