Description
JBL SRX828S 18" Dual Passive Subwoofer System
The SRX828S delivers controlled low-end authority with surgical precision, capturing and reinforcing bass frequencies with a foundation built for accurate sonic reproduction. Dual 18-inch woofers respond with remarkable tightness and definition, allowing you to hear every kick drum and bass note with crystal clarity rather than muddy rumble. This system integrates seamlessly into existing studio monitoring or live reinforcement setups, offering defined bottom end that grounds your entire mix without overwhelming midrange or highs.
Audio Performance
Maximum SPL reaches 141 dB, with frequency response extending from 47Hz to 120Hz (–3 dB) and an 80Hz crossover frequency. The system handles 4800W peak, 2400W program, and 1200W continuous power, delivering the extended low-frequency foundation that transforms a mix from thin to full-bodied across hip-hop, electronic, rock, and live sound reinforcement applications.
Build & Integration
Constructed from 18mm plywood with Obsidian Duraflex™ finish and reinforced by a 14-gauge perforated steel grille, the cabinet weighs 137 lbs and features eight handles for transport and positioning.
