JBL DSX380 HD with Top-Mounted Amplifier

The JBL DSX380 HD is a compact line array system engineered to deliver consistent, predictable coverage in mid-sized tracking rooms, live recording spaces, and installed studio environments. Its integrated top-mounted amplifier design eliminates the need for separate outboard equipment, streamlining your signal chain and reducing cable runs. This system captures even acoustic distribution that translates reliably across both fixed installations and mobile recording setups.

Coverage & Acoustic Performance

The fixed 130-degree horizontal dispersion combined with adjustable vertical beam shaping via DDS technology ensures precise coverage tailoring for your room acoustics without dead zones or excessive spillover. Output reaches up to 94 dB SPL at 100 feet with the ability to maintain constant sound pressure level across distances up to 45 meters, making this system ideal for mid-size recording studios, rehearsal halls, and broadcast facilities.

Driver Configuration & Signal Processing

Sixteen custom-designed 4-inch loudspeakers paired with four 1-inch dome tweeters provide articulate midrange and extended high-frequency response up to 18 kHz, critical for monitoring vocal takes and tracking instruments with clarity. The integrated 16-channel class-D amplifier with switched-mode power supply handles complex input management internally, while the onboard DSP module includes delay, parametric EQ, automatic volume control, and eight user-definable presets for rapid reconfiguration between sessions and rooms.
