Has anyone checked out the new PRX400 series subs on the JBL website.  They look like the PRX600 series, but they are passive and their power handling is very similar to the SRX series.

The rest of these speakers seem to land between the JRX and MRX series.

I wonder if the sub uses the same driver as the SRX718?

Bassed on SPL and response I don't think do

[Chuck Simon]

The whole PRX400 line is a mystery to me.  First of all I thought PRX meant powered!  Why would a passive speaker line carry the PRX designation and why does JBL have so many choices?  Either the JRX or MRX line must be on the way out.

[Samuel Rees]

All the top boxes have a lower power handling than the comparable MRX boxes, to get rid of MRX I think they would need to provide something in the PRX400 series with 800/1600ish handling, which would make that a really crowded series. Perhaps JRX is going to be on the chopping block soon? I don't think to many people would be sad to hear that.

Who cares?  Don't like the product?  Don't buy it.

Amen to that!!

I only meant that I think JBL is going to come out with a better super-budget product very soon, and it will be well received! I wasn't trying to simply rag on cheap gear. Perhaps, this PRX400 is in fact it?

Anything else on tap?

[Samuel Rees]

Haha everyone is taking me out of context... You guys know what I was getting at!

Crown's rolled out a new amp rack simillar to the L-Acoustic LA Rank. This one has 4x 3500HD drivecore amps capable each of 2x2000w at 4ohm and 1500w at 8ohm a channel. Digital I/O + 3phase 32amp power input..

Just as I thought... an analog luddite.  All the cool kids are using a Digital Crystal Ball® with outdoor antennae.

As for JBL, it's hard to say exactly what they have planned now that the VTX V25 line array is out, but my Digital Crystal Ball® shows a couple of model lines being updated with new SKUs, probably with new transducers, and the pixelated image right as the crystal ball battery runs down looks like a trap box.

Since JBL has introduced new drivers as new families or classes of devices, it's reasonable to expect the new D2 compression driver has siblings in other band-passes and that we'll see them in new products.  It wouldn't be a surprise if JBL introduced new lines at PLASA or Musikmesse.

[Rob Spence]

The change in drivers for such as the SRX728 might be driven by the rare earth mineral availability issues we are seeing? Just a thought... (while the snow flies)

[Bob Leonard]

I rolled it out of the shed today Rob. Less than an hour to do my driveway and the neighbors. Me likey. (And I put another staple on that romex just for you.)
