JBL DS180D Bottom CC JBL DS180-DN Powered Column Loudspeaker with Integrated Amplifier

The JBL Intellivox DS180 is a professional-grade powered column system engineered to deliver controlled, articulate audio across multiple spatial zones. Its compact vertical architecture integrates twelve drivers and dual tweeters with an eight-channel class-D amplifier, making it an ideal solution for studios and production facilities requiring distributed monitoring, multi-room tracking sessions, or background audio reinforcement without external amp racks.

Acoustic Coverage & Dispersion

The system's 130-degree fixed horizontal dispersion with adjustable vertical beam shaping allows precise control over coverage patterns, reducing phase issues and reflections in control rooms, live rooms, and multi-purpose studios. This directivity proves invaluable when monitoring specific tracking zones or isolating playback to particular areas during recording sessions, minimizing acoustic bleed into microphone arrays and maintaining clean, focused listening environments.

Driver Configuration & Amplification

Twelve custom-designed 4-inch full-range drivers paired with two coaxially mounted ferrofluid-cooled tweeters reproduce clear midrange detail and extended high-frequency information across the 130 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, ideal for critical monitoring and mix-down work. The integrated eight-channel class-D amplifier operates with minimal heat generation and includes 32-bit floating-point DSP with RS-485 network connectivity, enabling seamless integration into studio control systems and remote signal processing without rack clutter.
