What reviewers say

Questions and answers

Does the JBL PRX412M need a power amplifier?

Yes. It is a passive speaker, so it needs an external power amp rated for its 300 W handling. It will not run from a mixer alone.

Can I use it as a main PA speaker as well as a monitor?

Yes. The wedge shape suits floor monitoring, but it can also sit on a stand or shelf as a main or fill speaker. Its 95 dB sensitivity makes it efficient either way.

What inputs and outputs does it have?

It has Neutrik speakON and 1/4-inch inputs plus an XLR thru output. That lets you daisy-chain several cabinets from one amp channel.

How much bass does it produce?

It reaches down to about 50 Hz, which is enough for vocals and most live instruments. For DJ or dance music, add a subwoofer for real low end.

Is it better than a powered wedge?

It is simpler and cheaper to service and needs no onboard electronics. A powered wedge saves you an amp and cabling but costs more and adds its own failure points.

What is in the box?

The speaker cabinet itself. Speaker cables and amplifiers are sold separately, so plan for those if you do not already own them.
