Professional Sound Quality in a Lightweight Design

The JBL Professional SRX812 passive monitor combines high-quality audio reproduction with rock-solid reliability, resulting in live sound reinforcement that you can trust. This 3200-watt 2-way speaker features premium JBL transducers, cutting-edge tech driver technology, and durable lightweight cabinet construction. Live sound engineers at Sweetwater find that the SRX812 excels in numerous roles, including as a light-duty PA, a stage monitor, or a rear or side fill monitor, making it a popular choice for live music venues, corporate facilities, schools and universities, and houses of worship. Pair the JBL SRX812 with your favorite power amplifier and enjoy the crisp, high-fidelity sound that can only come from JBL Professional.

Crystal-clear, full-spectrum sound

With 3,200 watts of peak power-feeding premium JBL transducers, the SRX812 delivers crystal-clear, full-spectrum sonics with extremely low distortion and rock-solid phase coherence. An annular polymer diaphragm compression driver with a 3-inch voice coil ably handles high frequencies. A 12-inch woofer, constructed using JBL’s patented Differential Driver Technology, pumps out impactful low end and punchy mids.

Best-in-class wooden enclosure

For the SRX812, durability is the name of the game! It features a sturdy 18mm-thick poplar plywood enclosure, 14-gauge steel grilles, and JBL’s patented DuraFlex finish. Whether used in a permanent installation or as part of mobile sound reinforcement rig, the JBL SRX812 is built to withstand even the most challenging environments and grueling tour schedules. Additionally, the SRX812 supports Crown XTI 2, Crown ITech HD, and dbx DriveRack 260 tuning presets for optimizing the sound in your venue.

Reviews

Worth every penny
First off, thanks to the Sweetwater team. I received one that had no output, they overnighted me a new one. Now that I have my semi-pro system up and running along with two Yamaha CXS18XLF 2000W 18" passive subwoofers (also bought through Sweetwater) this system is ready for some work outside the living room. I may do two more of each.

JBL SRX812 - Insanely flat and SMOOOTH frequency response. The sound is crystal clear, lifelike, warm, and has no "shrill outta control" highs like so many other PA speakers. These are slightly power hungry, but will produce high fidelity sound with no high volume attitude or distortion. I am running a Behringer NX6000 (about 1,600w per channel RMS @ 8 ohms) to each of the them. No issues cranking them up and letting them sing.

WHY PAY SO MUCH FOR PASSIVE PA SPEAKERS? These are better than anything you'll hear out there...even audiophile home audio. I have owned Bose, Klipsch, JBL (Model 96 monitors), even vintage Radio Shack speakers when they were into that in the 1980s. Anyways, these are built for combat. Well made, incredible sounding, and worth every penny. I am not a fan of active speakers with plate amplifiers...never seem to mate up well. OBTW - my rig has Bluetooth anyways.
