JBL Intellivox DS280D Active Column Loudspeaker

The JBL DS280D is a professional-grade active column loudspeaker engineered for broadcast, streaming, and live recording applications. Its compact yet powerful integrated design delivers consistent, controlled coverage without requiring external amplification, making it ideal for podcast studios, broadcast facilities, and remote recording setups where space and signal chain simplicity are priorities.

Coverage & Beam Control

Built-in Digital Directivity Synthesis (DDS) technology provides precise beam shaping through onboard DSP, allowing you to tailor sound capture and reinforcement patterns to your specific room acoustics and recording environment. This capability maintains intelligible dialogue and balanced audio across distances up to 35 meters, making the DS280D equally effective in broadcast studios, interview spaces, and live recording venues.

Connectivity & Control

The DS280D integrates both Dante® and analog audio inputs alongside IP control connectivity, enabling seamless integration into modern networked studio systems and traditional analog setups alike. Onboard controls include volume adjustment, parametric EQ, and user presets, giving you comprehensive mixing and tone-shaping flexibility without requiring external outboard gear, streamlining your recording workflow.
