Description
JBL PRX935 3-Way Powered Loudspeaker
The JBL PRX935 is a compact yet powerful 3-way active speaker engineered for studio monitoring, mixing reference, and high-output tracking applications. Its ergonomic trapezoidal cabinet and integrated handles make it manageable for flexible studio placement, while the onboard amplification and versatile connectivity integrate seamlessly into professional recording workflows without requiring external amps and outboard processing.
Audio Performance & Amplification
2,000 watts peak (1,000 watts RMS) of Class D amplification delivers clean, efficient power with a maximum SPL of 136.1 dB, capable of delivering accurate monitoring at working volumes and extended headroom for critical mixing sessions. The 90° x 50° dispersion pattern provides controlled coverage for optimized placement in recording spaces, while frequency response spanning 40 Hz–20 kHz (@4π, -10 dB) ensures articulate mids and highs with punchy, controlled low-end for reliable mix translation.
Design & Transducer Engineering
The 3-way driver complement pairs a 916G 15" ferrite magnet woofer for extended low-frequency capture with a 196H 6" ferrite magnet transducer and JBL 2408H-2 1.5" poly-annular diaphragm compression driver for precise upper-mid and high-frequency reproduction. The 18 mm birch cabinet with optimized bracing minimizes cabinet resonance and maintains structural stability, ensuring consistent tonal character during marathon recording and mixing sessions.
