Features
Overview: The JBL IRX ONE is an all-in-one Column PA with built-in mixer and Bluetooth streaming, designed for performers and musicians, fitness instructors, coaches, educators, house of worship users, and more. It features a built-in powered mixer along with a C-shaped column array and 8" woofer speaker system, all housed in a durable bass-reflex enclosure that's lightweight and portable.
Amplifier & Speakers: The JBL IRX ONE features a C-shaped array of six 2" tweeters, for superior clarity and rich sound, and an 8" woofer housed in a bass-reflex enclosure that can generate natural, smooth low-end. The Column PA can provide a wide frequency response from 40 Hz up to 20 kHz. The speaker system is powered by a 1300 W (peak power) Class-D amplifier that's capable of up to 118 dB of sound output, with 160° of horizontal and 80° of vertical coverage area. The speakers and amplifier are housed in a polypropylene enclosure that's both durable and lightweight.
Column PA Design: The JBL IRX ONE's column speaker design includes a C-shaped speaker array column and 2 spacer columns that easily snap into each other and the woofer PA cabinet, providing up to 80" of maximum height for the speaker array. If only one spacer is used, the speaker array stands 61.38", and with no spacers, it stands 43.0". The woofer cabinet's unique design allows the speaker array and spacer columns to be stored and transported inside the PA, keeping them well protected and providing a compact and portable form for the system.
3-Channel Mixer plus Bluetooth: The IRX ONE features a 3-channel mixer that sits recessed in the top of the PA speaker, helping protect the mixer while still being easily accessible. The mixer includes 3 input channels along with Bluetooth 5.0 audio streaming.
- Channels 1&2: XLR/1/4" Combo jacks that can accept either Mic- or Line-level signals. A Gain control for both channels provides 0dB to 55dB of signal; for microphone signals, the Gain will be around the 3 o'clock position, and for line-level signals will be around the 9 o'clock position. Each of the 3 input channels includes a Limit/Sig LED that will indicate a signal present and change color to indicate the signal is starting to clip and the built-in limiter function is activated.
- Phantom Power: A phantom power switch enables +48 V of phantom power to both input channels (1&2), for use with condenser microphones that require external phantom power.
- Channel 3: A 1/4" jack can accept line-level signals. A Gain control provides 0 dB to 48 dB of signal.
- Bluetooth 5.0: The IRX ONE features Bluetooth 5.0 audio streaming for playing music or backing tracks from a Bluetooth enabled playback device.
- Mix Out: A 1/4" Mix Out jack can pass the main mix output signal to additional IRX ONE or other powered PA speakers.
Additional Controls & Indicators:
- Power: An illuminated push-button activates the PA.
- Main Volume: Adjusts the overall output level. A corresponding Limit LED will light if the signal starts to clip and activates the built-in limiter.
- EQ Presets: A rotary dial lets you select one of 6 preset EQ curves based on the column speakers application. Options include: Flat, Speech, DJ, KTV, Cafe, and Bright.
- Bass & Treble: Bass and Treble controls for channels 1-3 can provide -9 dB to +9 dB of boost/cut for high and low frequencies.
- Level: Level controls for channels 1-3 let you mix the individual signal levels for each.
- Ducking: When activated, signals on Channels 1 or 2 will attenuate or "duck" Bluetooth signals.
- AFS: Activates the built-in dbx Automatic Feedback Suppression that can automatically detect and stop feedback before it starts.
- Bluetooth: Pressing this lets you pair a Bluetooth enabled device as well as activate the Bluetooth function for a paired device.
Power: The JBL IRX ONE includes a 77" AC power cord for powering the PA system.
Portability: The IRX ONE features a top-panel carry-handle for easy portability when the array speaker and colomn spacers are stowed in their respective locations. At 34.3 lbs., the IRX ONE can easily be transported by a single person.
