JBL SRX912M Powered Point-source Speaker
Description
JBL SRX912M Powered Point-source Speaker
The SRX912M is a compact powered monitor engineered for studio reference and project-room applications where accurate directional response and transparent output are essential. Its lightweight 45 lb form factor and integrated Class D amplification make it equally suited to mobile recording setups, installed control rooms, and multi-room monitoring chains. The point-source design delivers consistent off-axis response with minimal coloration, translating reliably across varied acoustic environments.
Audio Performance & Output
Maximum SPL reaches 138 dB, providing substantial dynamic headroom for critical listening and mix translation without compression artifacts. The 12-inch woofer paired with a 1.5-inch compression driver and Differential Drive technology extends low-frequency response down to 50 Hz, ensuring full-range monitoring capability in a compact footprint ideal for stereo pair placement.
Design & Connectivity
The Baltic birch housing is engineered for cabinet resonance control and accurate sonic reproduction, while six M10 Quick-Link suspension points enable flexible placement and isolation mounting. Dual Ethernet ports with Neutrik etherCON connectors and HARMAN HControl support provide networked system control and real-time parameter management across paired or multi-unit monitoring arrays.
Key Features
- 12-inch low-frequency driver with dual 2-inch voice coils (272F woofer)
- 1.5-inch compression driver with Differential Drive technology

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the SRX912M suitable for home recording or bedroom studio use?
No — this speaker is purpose-built for live performance, touring, and installed venue systems. It prioritizes high SPL output, directional coverage, and networked control, making it overkill and acoustically mismatched for home recording and mixing.
What is the maximum SPL and frequency range?
The SRX912M delivers a maximum SPL of 138 dB with a 12-inch woofer, 1.5-inch compression driver, and Differential Drive technology extending low-frequency response down to 50 Hz for full-range capability in a compact enclosure.
How is it mounted and rigged?
The speaker features six M10 Quick-Link suspension points on a Baltic birch housing for flexible mounting, rigging, and angling (42-degree full-range monitor angle available). It weighs 45 lb and integrates into truss or ground systems.
Does it support networked control?
Yes — dual Ethernet ports with Neutrik etherCON connectors and HARMAN HControl support allow networked control and real-time system management across multiple units, with an onboard LCD display and encoder for local adjustments.
What processing and presets are included?
The integrated Class D amplification includes comprehensive DSP with 24 user-adjustable filters, up to 2,000 ms of delay, and application-specific presets built into onboard processing for different monitor and live-sound scenarios.
