JBL DSX500D Top with Integrated Amplifier

The JBL DSX500D is a compact line array element engineered for studio monitoring and spatial audio applications where precise directional control and consistent coverage matter. Its narrow vertical dispersion and integrated amplification eliminate the need for external processing, streamlining your monitoring chain and mixing workflow in fixed recording and mastering environments.

Directional Coverage & Beam Control

With 60° horizontal and 15° vertical coverage angles, this speaker delivers focused sound distribution that isolates the listening area from room reflections and minimizes spillover into adjacent spaces. The Digital Directivity Synthesis (DDS) beam shaping DSP technology allows real-time adjustment of the coverage pattern, giving you the flexibility to tailor acoustic imaging to your control room's specific geometry without repositioning hardware.

Audio Performance & Integration

A 115 dB max SPL and 90 Hz–20 kHz frequency response deliver sufficient headroom and transparent bandwidth for detailed mixing, mastering, and critical listening across speech, music, and full-range program material. The integrated amplifier draws 120 W of power and accepts audio via 2 × XLR and 1 × RJ45 connectors, allowing both analog audio input and networked control for larger multi-room or networked studio setups.
