"JBL's compact new PA speaker is small and cheap - but sounds quite the opposite!"
The JBL IRX108BT (8-inch woofer) and IRX112BT (12-inch woofer) are two new portable PA loudspeakers combining premium JBL sound with versatile features like Bluetooth streaming in a compact, affordable package. The JBLIRX108BT is reviewed in the new issue of Sound On Sound magazine where it is praised for its “loud, clear sound”, “useful anti-feedback and ducking features”, and its “built in bluetooth audio input”.
"In my practical tests this speaker didn't disappoint: it is much kinder to music than most two-way 'box' speakers equipped with larger drivers…”
"Vocals come over clearly without undue harshness or honkiness, and there's also more of a punchy bottom end than you might expect from such a compact speaker."
“...the IRX108BT is extremely good value - you could buy a pair for less than the cost of a typical budget mini line array, and because of the relatively small main driver, the sound quality rivals that of compact column speakers.”
"JBL describe the IRX108BT and IRX112BT as entry-level speakers, and their pricing reflects that, but their performance may surprise you."
The full review can be found in the July 2020 issue of Sound On Sound magazine. The JBL IRX108BT is available now priced at £299 RRP inc VAT.
