JBL DSX500D Bottom CC — Compact Line Array Element with Integrated Amplification

The JBL DSX500D is an ultra-compact column speaker built for tracking, overdubbing, and mixing sessions where space is at a premium. Its slim 6.3-inch width fits into tight studio layouts while delivering professional output that captures clean, intelligible performances—ideal for home studios and project rooms where traditional speaker arrays would dominate the space.

Coverage & Output Performance

This element produces a maximum SPL of 115 dB with carefully controlled directional coverage—60° horizontal and 15° vertical—that keeps your monitoring focused and prevents acoustic reflections from muddying your recordings. The 90 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response ensures clear vocal and instrument definition across the full audible spectrum, making it easier to make mixing decisions in the box.

Amplification & Connectivity

Each unit houses a 16-channel class-D amplifier with switched-mode power supply and 32-bit DSP with parametric EQ and volume control, streamlining your signal chain and eliminating the need for external processing in most workflow scenarios. Dual input options—2 × XLR analog and Dante® network audio—integrate seamlessly into both analog and networked studio setups.
