JBL DSX380D Bottom CC JBL DSX380-DN Powered Speaker System

The JBL DSX380-DN is a professional-grade powered column speaker engineered for studio monitoring and production tracking applications. With its integrated Class-D amplifier mounted at the bottom and customizable configuration options, this system delivers consistent coverage and intelligibility across tracking rooms and mid-sized studio spaces. Built for reliability and precision audio reproduction, it serves as a versatile solution for multi-room facilities, broadcast production, and professional audio environments requiring accurate reference monitoring.

Audio Performance & Studio Translation

This system achieves up to 94 dB SPL at 100 feet, providing substantial monitoring level for larger studio spaces without compromising clarity or introducing fatigue. The frequency response of 130–18,000 Hz captures full-range audio with natural presence in the critical midrange and upper frequencies, essential for catching mix issues and vocal articulation during tracking and overdubs. The fixed 130-degree horizontal dispersion ensures even sound distribution across the control room without dead zones, enabling consistent mixes that translate across multiple listening positions.

Driver Configuration & Amplification

The speaker employs 16 custom-designed 4-inch full-range drivers paired with 4 individually driven 1-inch horn-loaded dome tweeters, delivering articulate vocal reproduction and detailed instrument separation critical for production work. Power comes from a 16-channel Class-D amplifier with switch-mode power supply, engineered for efficiency, thermal stability, and low distortion across extended tracking and mixing sessions.
