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

Excellent Improvement - Best in Class

by Disco Johnny from Sacramento, CA

Music Background: Live sound company, musisican in 7pc band
I own 6 PRX 512M and they are great as monitors or coupled with PRX 718 subs. I just bought PRX 618 XLF and a couple of PRX 612Ms. The 612Ms are a vast improvement over 5 series. We have a smaller ... read more [+]QSC KSUB and K10 system that does quite well. The K10 have way more bass than PRX 512M. BUT not the 612M! Sit down QSC!! Plus the JBLs don't rip your ears apart like the QSC K stsuff. BTW, QSC K10s sound better than K12 and are cheaper.

Way to go JBL! Who want's to buy my 512Ms?? close [-]

Amazing Portable Touring Rig

WOW! Just installed last weekend two of these PRX 612M mains on top of two PRX618XLF Subs. Amazing results! This system fills a room that holds 1047 people in a huge church at 102db with all clarity, ... read more [+]and TONS of thumping bass. There is a of high end extension, even at over 100 feet away at the back of the room, and the 12" woofer was better than getting a 15" woofer due to its size and ability to produce sound with quicker transients than having a larger woofer. The horn sounds amazing and doesnt distort barely at all even when being slightly overdriven. The XLF is the sub you want to get with these, not the regular PRX618S. It hits harder, lower, and is much more effective in most situations. I'll also say that the brains behind the room sounding so great is a DBX DriveRack PA+, crucial in dialing in Feedback problems and Room Phasing. All around, this turned out to be a great system installed, and its filling a room that took a 8 speaker Meyer Touring Rig to fill. close [-]

These speakers sound awesome and keep sounding awesome as they get loud, I also have two PRX618SXLF subs with them,and the built in crossovers work really well. I also have a dbx driverack px with the... read more [+]m but I still sometimes just use the subs crossovers because they sound so good. I use a qsc kw system and think these sound better or just as good. They are well built and have a very rugged exterior. I highly recomend these speakers. close [-]

my final pick

For my Yamaha S-70XS, it came down to this speaker and the QSC K12. I felt this speaker had a tighter bass , more bass and it sounded great with the piano sounds. It is lightweight and easy to carry... read more [+].
My only complaints are that is doesn't have a nice bag like the QSC and the warranty is not as good. The cover you can get doesn't fully cover the speaker at the bottom. There have been complaints about how reliable it is ..on the Net. But they may have fixed that issue. If you are nervous about it, go with the QSC K12. Both are better than any of the keyboard amps out there. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
