JBL Intellivox DSX500 Line Array Speaker System with Integrated Amplification

The JBL DSX500-DN is a compact, high-output line array column speaker engineered for distributed audio in medium to large venues. Its narrow vertical coverage and integrated amplification make it ideal for speech reinforcement, background music, and foreground audio in installations where consistent coverage and minimal crosstalk are priorities.

Acoustic Performance & Coverage

This system delivers 115 dB maximum SPL across a 90 Hz–20 kHz frequency response, ensuring intelligible speech and full-range music reproduction. The 60° horizontal and 15° vertical coverage angles provide focused sound distribution without excessive spillover, making it particularly effective in long, narrow spaces or venues requiring controlled directivity.

Design & Build Quality

The steel enclosure with epoxy coating resists corrosion and impact damage, while the integrated 16-channel class-D amplifier and 32-bit DSP eliminate the need for external processing or separate amp racks. At 34.2 lbs and measuring just 60.2 × 6.3 × 6.3 inches, the DSX500 mounts vertically for stacking in arrays or hangs from standard rigging points.
