JBL Intellivox DS380 Professional Column Loudspeaker

The JBL DS380 is a compact yet powerful column loudspeaker engineered for capturing and reinforcing speech and background music in mid-to-large recording and performance spaces. Its vertical form factor delivers intelligible coverage across broad areas without dominating sightlines, making it ideal for multi-room recording facilities, live tracking environments, and hybrid studio setups. The integrated amplifier and DSP processing eliminate the need for external processors, providing a complete audio solution ready for immediate session deployment.

Coverage & Throw Distance

With 130-degree horizontal and adjustable vertical coverage, this system excels at filling large open recording areas with even sound distribution for tracking and reinforcement. The 45-meter throw distance ensures reliable coverage in spaces from 40 to 150 seats without requiring multiple units or extended cable runs, streamlining session setup and room management.

Signal Processing & Control

The onboard 32-bit floating-point DSP provides delay, parametric EQ, automatic volume control, and RMS/peak limiting—all adjustable via standard RS-485 connectivity. These tools allow precise tuning of the system to room acoustics and ambient noise conditions during recording and mixing workflows without external equipment or processing chains.
