From Our Research Team:

Excellent Midsized Main or Monitor!

If you're looking for an active loudspeaker that can fill multiple roles, grab a JBL PRX612M or two. These excellent-sounding 1,000-watt, 2-way speakers make fantastic mains for small and midsized gigs. For larger-scale setups, you can lay PRX612Ms on their sides and switch them from Full Range to Monitor mode; they become great active monitoring wedges. As with the rest of JBL's PRX600 series speakers, the 12" PRX612M loudspeaker features highly efficient Class D technology and advanced cabinet design. When you need to tackle the sound reinforcement challenges that plague almost any live sound environment - high ambient noise levels, poor sound diffusion, and loud stage volumes - JBL's PRX600 series loudspeakers give you the tools you need to go beyond the quality your audience will expect. Lighter cabinets (only 34.5 lbs. for the 1,000-watt PRX612M!) make loading and unloading easier than before, and tour-tested rugged designs won't let you down when your sound matters most.

JBL PRX612M Active Loudspeaker Features at a Glance:
  • 12", 2-way stage monitor or front of house self-powered speaker system
  • 1,000-watt (2 x 500-watt) Crown Class D amplifier
  • DSP-featured input section with selectable EQ
  • 50Hz-19.5kHz full-range frequency response
  • 51Hz-19.5kHz monitor frequency response
  • 1 x 12" differential drive woofer
  • 1 x 1.5" annular, polymer-diaphragm compression driver
  • DuraFlex-covered 18mm plywood enclosure
  • 16-gauge foam-backed steel grille
  • Dual 36mm pole sockets
  • Non-skid rubber feet
  • Weight: 34.5 lbs.
  • Max SPL: 134dB (full range), 133dB (monitor)
  • Dimensions: 18.25" x 17.8" x 24.75"

As mains or as monitor wedges, JBL PRX612M active loudspeakers are real top performers!

I torture tested them all. The JBL PRX12M's blew everything else away and are awesome in a live situation. The truly amazing part is that they only weigh 34.5 lbs and easily fit in my Volvo Wagon. Goo... read more [+]dbye mini-van! I have done large rooms with these speaker and they even put out a large amount of low end without a subwoofer. Add in a nice sub and you'll be in tears because it sounds so good. These are the ones you've been waiting for. All my DJ friends have gottten rid of their old speakers and bought these after hearing my set up. close [-]

Great Response From Low to High

I was debating between this cabinet and the QSC K12. The weight of this cabinet intially concerned me–I thought it was too light to be good, but after researching the weight savings, I felt confident ... read more [+]that quality hadn't been compromised. This speaker actually has a thicker (poplar)wood enclosure than the heavier and much more expensive QSC KW12. Pulling the 612's out of the box, I immediately noticed how light they are. After connecting them to our Presonus Studio Live 24.4.2, I ran some CD tracks and couldn't get the signal to the speaker high enough. Then I remembered the mixer has an attenuation knob on the back for the main lines out. So I brought it to "0" and that gave me plenty of signal to the speakers. I couldn't believe how much punch these speakers give. I've gone with 15" cabinets for the last three systems I've bought and was a bit concerned that I would miss some of the low-end that 15" cabinets produce. To say I'm not disappointed would be a huge understatement. I'm debating whether I should connect the 18" sub to the system. The low-end is so tight and punchy. All this to say: as soon as I had the keyboardist do a sound check, I had to take one of the speakers back because of rattling. It sounded like vibration caused by a "blown" woofer. As soon as the tech hooked the speaker to his sound generator it made the vibration really violently around 100hz. So he took the grille off, sent the sound through the speaker again and...nothing. I then noticed that the wire that connects to the power indicating LED had a lot of slack. It turned out to be the problem. The slack was pressed against the woofer and "rattled" with the lower frequencies. It turned out to be a really easy fix. That aside, I'm really happy with the speakers. close [-]

Absolutely the flattest response in any powered speaker we have ever used. The coverage is very impressive as well as the quality of sound and build. Used for six events, all in challenging venues.... read more [+] /> Wandering lavaliere mics, minimal processing, outstanding results.

Great Job JBL and Thanks Sweetwater! close [-]
