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 speaker with a horrid flaw

By Michael
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2026-08-17

I love these speakers, they sound great, put out a substantial amount of sound. There is one bad enough flaw that I would never buy them again. When they loose power, even briefly, they stay off. That means that a power glitch in the middle of a performance stops everything until someone walks over to each speaker and turns it back on. What should have been a 5 second glitch becomes a multi minute issue.

Doa

Bluetooth didn’t work from the start. Later audio input would t work. Speaker wouldn’t produce any sound. Had to send back to JBL professional for repair. PITA! Buy something else. Sound quality is just so so. Not worth the bother.
