JBL Professional launches JBL SRX900 line array Series

JBL Professional, part of the Harman Professional Solutions group, has introduced the JBL SRX900 Series of powered line arrays. The range, which includes dual 6.5-inch and dual 10-inch powered line array elements and 18-inch and dual 18-inch powered subwoofers, is designed for both rental companies and fixed installations.

The SRX900 Series’ feature a number of familiar JBL technologies, including custom-engineered, high-power-handling transducers and precision waveguides, for accurate pattern control.

Installers can call on user-configurable DSP and design-and-management software tools to provide hands-on control from a computer or mobile device, while SRX900’s cabinet architecture is engineered for easy handling, fast rigging, minimal space displacement and easy transport.

A proprietary waveguide provides perfect cabinet-to-cabinet summation for seamless front-to-back coverage, and a large horn extends low-frequency control and reduces unwanted energy behind the array.

SRX900 models feature built-in DSP that provides everything users need to optimise and tune their systems, including 24-band parametric EQ, 2,000ms of delay and gain control.

JBL’s proprietary Array Size Compensation (ASC) filter corrects for different array sizes, while the FIR-based Throw Distance Compensation (TDC) filter compensates for air-imposed sound loss, for more uniform sound distribution. A rear-panel LCD provides access to key control features.

The SRX900 Series supports Harman’s new HControl Ethernet protocol, which reduces network traffic load and removes the need for complex IP addresses. Users simply set a numerical value to each device for easy identification. Two switched network ports offer simplified networking for daisy-chaining.

SRX900 products work with inexpensive networking products, like Ethernet switches and Wi-Fi access points.

Custom Class D amplifiers are passively cooled, with no open holes that could allow water or dust to enter the electronics.

Self powered, the SRX900 Series offers a complete system solution, including speakers, subwoofers and accessories that support a range of configurations and simplify storage, transport and rigging.

It can be deployed in a variety of ways, from pole-mounted to ground-stacked to flown arrays of up to 16 cabinets. A three-point rigging system simplifies suspending systems.

“With the SRX900 Series, we’ve brought JBL’s professional line array technologies to versatile, budget-friendly systems that can grow with customers’ needs,” says George Georgallis, Director, Product Management, Performance Audio at HARMAN Professional Solutions. “Because systems are scalable, it’s easy to start with a small investment and expand a system over time. Also, SRX900 models are voiced to work seamlessly with other JBL tour systems.”
