    Frequently Asked Questions

    What's included with the JBL AC25, and do I need any cables or stands?

    The AC25 is an active powered speaker, so amplification is built in. You will need XLR audio cables (not included) to connect it to your mixer, interface, or console. Speaker stands or monitor wedges are sold separately but are highly recommended for optimal directivity and placement on stage or in a control room.

    How does the AC25 compare to the Yamaha DXR8, QSC K8, or PreSonus StudioLive AR8?

    All four are compact active speakers in the same professional category, but the AC25 emphasizes articulate bass and punchy midrange with very tight low-end definition. The Yamaha DXR8 and QSC K8 offer similar compactness and stage reliability; the PreSonus StudioLive AR8 adds built-in mixing capability. Choose the AC25 if bass clarity and midrange punch are your priority and you don't need onboard mixing.

    Is the AC25 suitable for jazz or classical performances?

    The AC25 is optimized for rock, pop, country, and electronic genres where tight bass definition and present midrange character shine. Jazz and classical applications typically benefit from smoother, less colored midrange; these genres are not ideal fits for the AC25's tone profile.

    What's the setup like for a small venue or gig?

    Setup is straightforward: place the speaker where needed (ultra-compact size offers flexibility), connect XLR audio from your mixer or interface, and power on. Focused directivity means you hear accurate mix details without room reflections, so you can often place it closer to the stage or monitoring position than larger speakers require.

    Do I pay sales tax on this order?

    Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $77 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
