JBL IRX108BT Overview

From Manufacturer

Designed for musicians, performers, presenters, and instructors, the JBL IRX108BT is a powered 8" portable PA speaker with built-in Bluetooth that features remarkable volume, clarity, and a total ease of use. This pint-sized power house was professionally engineered to outperform larger competing systems.

The IRX108BT features 4 x real-world EQs to let you dial-in an optimal tone quickly and efficiently. The built-in dbx AFS feedback suppression ensures your vocals or speech sound as loud and clear as possible. Other notable features include 1-touch ducking, which automatically lowers the music volume when speech input is detected, and a bass-boost circuit for pumping up the low end at your next party.

The rear panel provides 2-channel mic/line inputs, each with combo XLR-1/4" connectors, as well as an XLR thru to connect additional speakers. Bluetooth 5.0 audio streaming lets you play backing tracks, video soundtracks, or recorded music between sets. It's possible to link 2 speakers to create a true stereo image.

The polypropylene enclosure and honeycomb grille is rugged and capable of handling the rigors of on-the-road wear and tear. The 1300W amplifier powers the 8" woofer and high-frequency driver to provide a frequency response of 54 Hz to 20 kHz with a peak SPL of 124 dB. The JBL IRX108BT ships with a power cord.

JBL IRX108BT Reviews

Great Sound - Compact and Ligh

By Steven
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-03-08

The JBL IRX108BT powered speaker is a 17 pound, lightweight powered speaker that packs a big, clean sound, with strong bass presence, into a compact size. I use it as a standalone speaker for small venues or as a monitor along with larger speakers (JBL EON 710s]. The included cover, stand and 25 foot XLR cable in the package are all useful pieces.

Great sounding speaker, However, I bought these to hang on the wall for a church install and have to return them. This speaker has a soft power button. If the power goes out to the speaker it must be turned on at the back of the speaker. It does not have a physical switch that stays on. A rather big problem when the speaker is 15ft up on the wall.
