JBL IRX112BT Overview

Designed for musicians, performers, presenters, and instructors, the JBL IRX112BT is a powered 12" 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 IRX112BT 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 12" woofer and high-frequency driver to provide a frequency response of 53 Hz to 20 kHz with a peak SPL of 129 dB. The JBL IRX112BT ships with a power cord.

JBL IRX112BT Reviews

Brilliant speaker for the money

By Christopher
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-05-01

I bought this for $100 off as a speaker to use for center fills working with PRX12s as I did not need as much power. It is a great filler. I have not used the blue tooth so no comment there. I have also used it as a stand alone speaker for 2 weddings with 60 - 150 people in attendance and the speaker has the power to push comfortably 60 feet deep without full driving and risk of feedback. I am satisfied with the purchase and will buy another to have a pair for double the fun for my next events

Good Unit, Funky Power Button

By James

Easy to set up, stable B/T connection, great sound for my purposes (practicing guitar to backing tracks). Power button is not well thought out and takes some getting used to--they don't explain in the manual that it only turns *on* the power, you cannot use it to power down (that happens automatically). Glad I got the bigger one, better bass response. And quick ship from B&H makes it even better!
