DJ Rick Web I know you use the VRX sub woofers would you move To Duel 18’s in the future now that you have your trailer or would you stick with the VRX. Also how hard does the VRX sub hit ? I remember from your subwoofer placement video you talking about how putting your subs together add’s six DB And I’m going speaker shopping soon and I can’t decide whether to do the dual 18 or to get two to four VRX subs. Thanks so much your videos are really helpful and entertaining
I am going to be adding duals and line arrays. But still using vrx single 18s as well. Just depends on the gig. The vrx sub is one of the hardest hitting subs I know in its price range.
Dude, I am a professional DJ and own these speakers and was just about to try to figure out how to tune them. You just saved me a whole lot of time wow! I just subscribed because of this video. BRAVO!
Awesome video Bro!!!!! Thank you for putting out a knowledgeable video. I just want to say DJ Barr does a great job of putting out great videos as well. So, for all you people that are putting negative comments about DJ Barr, maybe you should look in the mirror and ask yourself, am I at the same level as DJ Rick Web & DJ Barr and when have you ever put out a video. Two thumbs up to DJ Rick Web & DJ Barr for putting out great videos.
thank god another dj that semi knows sound lol as a live sound engineer i appreciate dropping of this knowledge for those that dont know... good stuff as always dude
Ever go to a concert and just watch what the sound managers are doing? I basically always try to sit within view of the stage performance and the sound managers! Truly geeking out on what they do and it motivates me to be even just the equipment guy to learn as much as possible! I worked security at Journal Pavillion and we usually were there hours before the gigs but just watching and listening to sound checks was so cool! Listening to all this I've actually understood it for once! I totally understand where your coming from when you have someone using equipment and pushing it too far. Recently had a blown speaker and it wasn't mine but I was still upset because this is how I make extra money...some day I'll be able to afford 1 JBL 715 or 815. Thanks for taking the time to break this down for us, I find it informative! Cheers-
I just bought a set of srx812p and a 828sp for my home, I'm trying to learn to setup/tune pro equipment, thanks a lot man I've learned a lot in this video, your explanations are awesome.
yes sr. I use jbl old sound system , this weekend and sound fantastic , on the YMCA gymnasium, and on the Luky's Bar in Keokuk Iowa . And sound fantastic .. JBL Forever i love my Speakers ... !!!
@ Rick Web - Thank you for making these vids and breaking it down. I am still running your recommended eq settings on my 615EON and it rocks - dont need a sub for most gigs!
I had alot of hassles on the app for android it was really a pain on the ass but when I saw this video I opened my laptop and done all of your instructions nice and helpful video BTW
I agree on the EQ settings. Mids sound ugly unless they're done right in which case they sound great xD. If the neighbors don't come knocking it's not loud enough yet.
you get my respect with that video, from now i will watching you :) and please make some video with mixing techniques i'm also a wedding DJ and i know that what do club DJ are not work for us, so please share your experience and techniques wish you luck!
A limiter is a true safety, which in essence is just a compressor with a high ratio. Compressors at lower ratios lessen the range between quiets and louds but they don’t necessarily protect. Good vid
@@DJRickWeb The SRX have factory protection limiters that cannot be bypassed or turned off, the onboard comp is a little redundant for speaker protection really, it's more of a tone shaping/ mild leveling tool than anything..xox.
Daaaayuuummm!!!! You just schooled DJ Barr with some strait up sound knowledge!! THE INTERNET IS GOING CRAZY!!!!!!! LMFAO! I agree though, Barr did that video comparison like crap, no apples to apples comparison. RCF speakers are still plastic and I would never pay for a plastic case! lol!
Well it's not a bad thing to learn the JBL SRX has a lot more features than the RCF 741 and like he says they're more of a torque rating speaker so that means they comes was a lot more advanced technology that most people don't know
lol been using pro settings this whole time and i didnt even know it? sounds like a natural. cue in Savage by Tiesto. also,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, you need to tweak the microphone settings so it can record what YOU are actually hearing :) love the vid keep going buddy
dj barr is a good DJ but very ignorant about audio, I dont know to put it but saying that a speaker is better cause is sound different doesnt make any sense. I could say its a better speaker cause doesnt over heat and shuts down or burn out, etc. nice video bro... finally a good dj that know his stuff...
Much respect for all you do. Your videos are the reason why I recently upgraded from a pair of old JRX 115 speakers powered by a Crown XLS 1500 amp to a pair of SRX 815's and the difference is night and day in both quality sound and volume output. I do have a question for you though. Maybe you can cover this in a future video. Iv'e noticed that with the SRX speakers, there are 2 line inputs in the back of each of them, and if I take both the left and right outputs of the mixer each with its own cable, and place them individually into each input of just one SRX speaker, the mono sound is louder and seems better than if I were to run both speakers in stereo using the left out put of the mixer into one single input of one speaker and the right output of the mixer into the other speaker. Which is better in your opinion when it comes to these speakers and using them for events? Daisy chaining each speaker using both left and right ouputs of the mixer into each speaker individually or running both on stereo using only one of the inputs for each speaker?
cool to see you get into the details....... i own a pair of these since they came out..... 7 years of loud ass dj and punk rock band...... your video peaks my interest because u get good sound w/ just the 2 tops n no sub....... i see the 2275 15inch speaker will go down to 36htrz..... that speaker is the one they put in the PRX 815xlf sub...... so u are on to something that it will do low bass....... in my case i never used anything other the SRX top....SRX sub........ pre-set...... w/ a single srx828p....... hell of a system ....... i am old enough to remember the SRX700 line o boxes.... which were twice as expensive and un-powered...... i felt like the smartest cookie in the box to achieve a better boomin system, for less money and less extra outboard amps n crossovers....... btw, have you seen the SRX 900's? i am not happy at all... they r expensice array deals that surely sound great. but for us home shooled rockers n dj's there is no basic pa boxes like the srx800's...... so be glad you one the srx800's
Rcf has PUT much better tweeter with huge coil 4”, A fair test would be thru a mixer and NX45A, to be fair i would rather have my back still 19kg vs 28kg that 15” subwoofer weight. That sounded good
I mean..... the RCF doesn’t need presets. The RCF is a speaker. The JBL is a lot more complicated and there are different uses for each. Their test was decently fair, running each speaker out of the box. The RCF doesn’t need a DriveRack. It doesn’t need EQ, because it sounds good out of the box. The JBL needs tuning because it doesn’t sound good out of the box.
No bus it does need a different mode. JbL you have to change to consumer mode vs rcf where you just turn the knob up more. When you run them same output level its different
Kudos to you for being young and lifting heavy ass speakers on to stands, lol....As much as I like to personally tune my own sound....I'm not into weighting lifting at the beginning or end of a party, those days are over. However, the JBL's are cool...just too mid-heavy in my opinion. I didn't like the SRX tops when I demoed them...but I still think their subs are GREAT!
@@almas7123 RCF, the New QSC's and, to be honest, I don't remember the model number..but even the Turbosounds I demoed against the JBL sounded more flat to me. I understand the intended use for the SRX...but for mobile djing it's just way more work than there has to be.
Awesome Video! I have a driverack260 that I use with my prx815’s tops and subs. But I’m pretty sure I didn’t set it up properly. Can you do a walk through on your driverack on how to set crossover and what to look for when setting a new profile. Like where the info is on the speaker spec sheets etc?
Rcf sounds better because they have enhanced the tweeters in the tops and also the rcf bar was using are the 745mk4 which are the new line they allow you to get a better sound than any other speaker for mobile djs
I have the same speakers, Damn awesome. I did talk to JBL back in the spring they told me 1400 to the woofer continuous and 75 or so to the horn continuous then the 2000 peak. it's very close to those numbers I didn't write them down
@@DJRickWeb if you wanna know the true rms rating look at the passive versions.they list THE TRUE rms power handling. Yes the srx 800 active might have 1500rms of crown power for headroom but we as consumers dont truly know.
Nah actually looking at buying there dual 18s and line arrays. I just dont like when two speakers of completely different builds and intended purpose are compared
@@DJRickWeb I absolutely agree with you, the first part of my comment was ironic. You've greatly shown your opinion in this video, very technical and professional. I have to admit that i love RCF products (I own a couple of Art 715a mk4 and art 300a, hopeful to buy soon a 8003 asII sub for the 715 tops) and first time I've heard TT series, those shocked me (oh guy, TTL55a and TTS56a create an earthquake). I'm from Italy and here RCF dominates the business (sided by FBT) expecially in PA and recently in touring else. What about your opinion and personal experience with this brand? (Excuse me for some language's mistakes)
Good but not overly demanded in the concert field. They sound very similar to JBL in terms of being loud. I find that a lot of other brands have better clarity in the highs and mids then both. I am speaking of course on concert style gear. Line arrays.
@@DJRickWeb Yes, I refered to line arrays systems too. In my personal opinion L-acoustic, Nexo, d&b, martin audio mean touring, but also k-array, JBL, RCF, DAS can hold the game. Thanks for your answers. Good music bro 👋
It doesnt stack up. The bass and top output is significantly more from this setup. Now just the tops the bose is better but with subs not a competition
HI! I BOUGHT LAST DAYS A COUPLE OF JBL SRX 815P AND I AM WORKING ON A MACBOOK PRO. I TRIED TO DOWNLOAD AUDIO ARCHITECT BUT IT IS NOTHING FOR IOS. COULD PLEASE SOMEONE INFORM ME HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD AUDIO ARCHITECT FOR MAC TO DEFINE THE SETTINGS FOR THE SPEAKERS?
Yeahh Finally someone that knows His Shit, these is a very Good Video Maybe You Should Give DJ Bar A Lesson but mainly his Goons The tall guy and the Other guy they really dont know Shit.lol
I think that having to boost certain frequencies may add distortion to your signal if you are at peak output level of your speaker, would you agree? I would put the frequency response of the RCF more down to speaker cabinet design and natural characteristics of their drivers. I don't think they just slap a smiley face EQ on it just to make it sound the way it does.
As long as the increase isnt drastic and the speaker isnt hitting limit it will be fine. And knowing that I raised the bass more than the highs means the sub amp will limit first which is the bigger of the two amps in the speaker. Poor choice of wording for what rcf does. They tune the cabinet to sound like that. They dont just slap an eq on there like you said
It would be great if you do a video where you add subs to this set up and knowing how the volumes of each speakers work best. Ive seen friends where they have the srx or the prx speakers and tend to over saturate the subs bass not giving a balance sound. I hope I made myself clear . Also if you can explain why the vol faders most volume dont come from the 7 oclock up to the max(5 oclock), but everything is like condence in the 12 to 5 area. Good videos man. thanks.,
Why have a driverack when you can do the same through the software ? If you have the software, why do you still use your driverack ? Doesn't the driverack and software allow you to do the same ?
I like video, thanks. I have a question, that refer to the limiter of SRX815P. Is it possible to set an ideal ‘brick wall’ limitation? If you rise the gain, the volume also increases linear until reach the maximum level, without distorsion, overdrive. If you pump more input signal into the SRX, there is not more volume, no distorsion, no overdrive, but a crystal clear sound. Is it possible to set it by its own audio architect, without external high performance limiter unit?
You can set a limiter, but with any limiter it will hit that wall and as you pump more and more input to it it will begin to distort. Just the nature of Sound. Once one source in the gain chain (dj controller, mixer, etc) starts adding to the sound (above 0 db output) it will start to distort
Tour was a poor vague choice of word on my part. Was more referring to small scale band productions and install, which is waht this powered series was for. I have a local venue small concert hall that uses all srx and uses ethernet to all the speakers and connects them to there sound board to adjust all the parameters.
Did you get a chance to compare these to other speakers? I’m torn between these or the ETX....I have the ETX18SP already (2 of them ) and I’m running a driverack PA2 so I don’t need them to match up....
Rick , thanks for the videos..i have my srx815p being delivered shortly but not too savy with the puter..maybe in over my head with this speaker!...I thought downloading app on my android or laptop would work untill i saw your video. Is there any way to turn phone into a hotspot and plug into the speaker?..my router set up is in shitty spoy for me to hump speaker down to..If anyone has any thoughts I would appreciate. Thanks
DJ Rick Web! Love your videos! Supper helpful. Need your help! How do I can I run audio architect on a Mac?? I’ve run the SRX connect on my iPad but AA looks a hella of lot easier! Thank you!! Keep up the good work!
do i absolutely need to use a router / switch if i just want to connect to one sub / speaker? Or could i just connect ethernet cable directly from my laptop to the speaker?
Thanks for the video but, I was hopping you would save the preset even though you had that saved already to a different slot just to show the community exactly how it goes down. How about a "DIY presets " from scratch.
Hey what's up Rick, i just recently bought a pair of jbl srx815. i currently have a pair of prx815 as well. i bought them being new to jbl to use with my srx828 subs. Then i learned of the srx815 so that's why i upgraded. what do recommend as far as presets for the srx815. (1) for running them stand alone, and (2) for when run with my sub(s)? Do u think the factory preset for pairing with the 828's sounds decent enough?
Hi dj rick web, big fan of you and follow you for about 2 years now, great videos allways, i got question, have a good deal on both a pair of srx 815p's and srx 835p's, a couple oh hpundreds is drifferene not huge, i plan to run them on 3 subs, 2 single 18' and 1 double, i went with that config becouse mostly, i mean 70-80 percent im using 2 subs, they are vrx918sp's, and i bought srx828sp, it is louder and goes lower than vrx, i mean louder tham both but a minimal difference is, exept it throw punch longer wich is bonus :), i sold my tops wich were etx from ev, i want to mach the all speakers so first portability is a big factor, will there be a big difference bitweeen them 815p and 835p in throw, will 835p cower more people, or should i go for 815p couse 835p will outsound" mine 3 subs, 2vrxo18sp and 1 srx828sp subs? Thx and keep with good videos as allways i am following :)
The throw will be the same because both tops have the same tweeter high frequency driver. 825 will be a fuller sound. But end of the day raw output and throw is the same
Question, do you just connect ethernet from speaker into router that computer is connected to? Basically my network? Any info is appreciated on how to make the connection. thanks
@@DJRickWeb Thanks for the reply. I set up a similar preset and it sounds fine, but it seems I can attain a similar sound with just my mixer eq. Do you usually run this or other presets or just leave the JBL factory and eq with your mixer ?
@@DJRickWeb gotcha, I'm doing a wedding tomorrow, inside, gonna see how it sounds but seems like my ...dance...preset may be too much for the size of the venue. Owner has already made comments on not having too much bass
Hi Rick. 1 question, can 815 firmware be loaded onto 835 input board, so that 835 is now 815? got a dead 815 input board here. i have a spare 835 input board here, just wandering if its possible to load 815 firmware onto it.
Hey like you said in ur vid maximum volume right so if we speak as srx volume +12 is the Max. So you played it at +12 at the back and max on your mixer as well?

Good but not overly demanded in the concert field. They sound very similar to JBL in terms of being loud. I find that a lot of other brands have better clarity in the highs and mids then both. I am speaking of course on concert style gear. Line arrays.
@@DJRickWeb Yes, I refered to line arrays systems too. In my personal opinion L-acoustic, Nexo, d&b, martin audio mean touring, but also k-array, JBL, RCF, DAS can hold the game. Thanks for your answers. Good music bro 👋
Then you will love what brand I am planning on going with soon lol
hi djricweb briliant video and good tips about the speaker
If im your neighbour i would definitely appreciate the loudness of your speakers haha you can play them all day max volume hahaha
To bad I have like 50 neighbors
Hey dj Rick web can you tell me how would it stack up against bose l1 pro 16 and 32
It doesnt stack up. The bass and top output is significantly more from this setup. Now just the tops the bose is better but with subs not a competition
Can you use l1 32 with a jbl sub
Could you make a Video about "how to use Audio Architekt"
HI! I BOUGHT LAST DAYS A COUPLE OF JBL SRX 815P AND I AM WORKING ON A MACBOOK PRO. I TRIED TO DOWNLOAD AUDIO ARCHITECT BUT IT IS NOTHING FOR IOS. COULD PLEASE SOMEONE INFORM ME HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD AUDIO ARCHITECT FOR MAC TO DEFINE THE SETTINGS FOR THE SPEAKERS?
PLEASE DO THE CROSSOVER VIDEO FOR SETTING UP THE TOPS AND BOTTOMS TOGETHER!!! GREAT VIDEO!!!
Coming in mid to late December
Did he make a video of this, Just ordered SRX815 and Srx828, so im gonna need to know how to do this haha
Nope but you just cut all the bass out instead of adding
@@DJRickWeb how do i do that?
Yeahh Finally someone that knows His Shit, these is a very Good Video Maybe You Should Give DJ Bar A Lesson but mainly his Goons The tall guy and the Other guy they really dont know Shit.lol
Haha old fuddy dud neighbour "im trying to work here" well how bout you rent an office! Lady
DJ Dynablend lmfao right she prob a riot at parties😂
😂my neighborhood does road rage at deafening rate because of music
I think that having to boost certain frequencies may add distortion to your signal if you are at peak output level of your speaker, would you agree? I would put the frequency response of the RCF more down to speaker cabinet design and natural characteristics of their drivers. I don't think they just slap a smiley face EQ on it just to make it sound the way it does.
As long as the increase isnt drastic and the speaker isnt hitting limit it will be fine. And knowing that I raised the bass more than the highs means the sub amp will limit first which is the bigger of the two amps in the speaker.
Poor choice of wording for what rcf does. They tune the cabinet to sound like that. They dont just slap an eq on there like you said
It would be great if you do a video where you add subs to this set up and knowing how the volumes of each speakers work best. Ive seen friends where they have the srx or the prx speakers and tend to over saturate the subs bass not giving a balance sound. I hope I made myself clear . Also if you can explain why the vol faders most volume dont come from the 7 oclock up to the max(5 oclock), but everything is like condence in the 12 to 5 area. Good videos man. thanks.,
Actually I have a question how can I connect a Bluetooth receiver on a Jbl 8129 there’s no RCA jacks.
Rca to 1/4" cable.
Regarding setting up a Bluetooth receiver to a set of Jbl 812P or 815 P I can’t find the answer
The prx line? The srx line is hardwire for controls
Why have a driverack when you can do the same through the software ? If you have the software, why do you still use your driverack ? Doesn't the driverack and software allow you to do the same ?
Driverack is more powerful and way easier
The Drive rack also has feedback suppression and room analyzer when you run a mic....
Please more detailed audio.
Sounds good
Pahahaha that face at the beginning 😎
More. of. this.
Awesome 👌
I like video, thanks.
I have a question, that refer to the limiter of SRX815P.
Is it possible to set an ideal ‘brick wall’ limitation?
If you rise the gain, the volume also increases linear until reach the maximum level, without distorsion, overdrive.
If you pump more input signal into the SRX, there is not more volume, no distorsion, no overdrive, but a crystal clear sound.
Is it possible to set it by its own audio architect, without external high performance limiter unit?
You can set a limiter, but with any limiter it will hit that wall and as you pump more and more input to it it will begin to distort. Just the nature of Sound. Once one source in the gain chain (dj controller, mixer, etc) starts adding to the sound (above 0 db output) it will start to distort
RCF is tour based and tour Ryder’s spec RCF all the time currently
Art 745a mk4 is not tour grade though its consumer grade. JBL srx is tour grade
Rcf art 745 A phase is the best , clarity ok. Low, mid, and hi the best
By the way tours dont have someone that sits at a pc and watches the eqs of a speaker most tours dont even use powered speakers let alone jbl
Tour was a poor vague choice of word on my part. Was more referring to small scale band productions and install, which is waht this powered series was for. I have a local venue small concert hall that uses all srx and uses ethernet to all the speakers and connects them to there sound board to adjust all the parameters.
Yes, we all know that. these JBL's are made for live application. Web was just trying to make a point that these speakers can be EQ'd
Caleb Beacham a LOT of touring rigs are using powered line arrays these days....more than ever....and there is plenty of JBL out on tour.
Did you get a chance to compare these to other speakers? I’m torn between these or the ETX....I have the ETX18SP already (2 of them ) and I’m running a driverack PA2 so I don’t need them to match up....
They are equal in terms of output. Just comes down to which you prefer
I bought JBL because I got a better deal
Rick , thanks for the videos..i have my srx815p being delivered shortly but not too savy with the puter..maybe in over my head with this speaker!...I thought downloading app on my android or laptop would work untill i saw your video. Is there any way to turn phone into a hotspot and plug into the speaker?..my router set up is in shitty spoy for me to hump speaker down to..If anyone has any thoughts I would appreciate. Thanks
Nope. You dont need internet for it to work just a wired connection to a wifi router
DJ Rick Web! Love your videos! Supper helpful. Need your help! How do I can I run audio architect on a Mac?? I’ve run the SRX connect on my iPad but AA looks a hella of lot easier! Thank you!! Keep up the good work!
You cant windows only unfortunately
Thank you for your reply!! Suggest any alternatives??
@@carlosuribe2712 buy a drive rack. Lol
Thank you!! 👍🏽 time to step it up to the DJ Web league!!
great
That is ill. 😉
do i absolutely need to use a router / switch if i just want to connect to one sub / speaker? Or could i just connect ethernet cable directly from my laptop to the speaker?
You can connect directly but you can only control that one speaker or sub
Badass video brotha how can I go about getting this tune for my srx's
Download audioArchitect for you computer and follow my steps
Thanks for a great video, I have a question, do you need to hook up the internet into router to be able to connect JBL SRX835P?
No internet just a router
Did you replicate the dbx driverack tuning as a preset?
Yes. But normally I change my driverack setting differently for every venue
Thanks for the video but, I was hopping you would save the preset even though you had that saved already to a different slot just to show the community exactly how it goes down. How about a "DIY presets " from scratch.
? I did save it to a new slot
How about another video that shows the process of importing presets to other speakers? that would we awesome!!
Hey Rick what do you think about the Qsc kw 152 vs the jbl 815 p? Are they in the same category. Which one is louder and clearer?
Nope. Srx series is above the kw
Hey Rick, could I get the file you created on this video for your SRX. I want to add more bass to my srx speakers.Thanks.
Its not a sharebl file
did barr ever reply to your vid and the eq file that you send him ?
I didn't send him the file. You can't actually send it as a file
@@DJRickWeb Ah ok i see :)
NICE!!!!!!! Will the ETX beat these?
Go go gadget make more like this please
Omg I actually got a like lol
Ps Rick you da bomb
How much cover this sound gethring
Hey DJ Rick Web I have the 835p could I use a smiler tune or because its a 3 way it would be different???
You would probably need to play some music as you tune it. Since it's a 3 way the cross over points between the drivers is different then in a 2 way.
Hello ...what is R or S in the minute 4:28... When clic in the Go on-line mode...???
Hey I know this does not pertain to the video but what do you think ShowExpress or what do you think about myDMX 3.0?
I have only used showexpress so....
I just bought a pair of srx 815p and did the tune. I feel like missing some bass. any tip?
Probably not. You can only get some much bass out of a 15 top
Can you make a video like this for the eon as well??????
I already made a tune video for the eons?
Hey what's up Rick, i just recently bought a pair of jbl srx815. i currently have a pair of prx815 as well. i bought them being new to jbl to use with my srx828 subs. Then i learned of the srx815 so that's why i upgraded. what do recommend as far as presets for the srx815. (1) for running them stand alone, and (2) for when run with my sub(s)? Do u think the factory preset for pairing with the 828's sounds decent enough?
I do all my eq on a drive rack.
My favorite part of this video, was when you got chastised. Bwahahaha!!!
unfortunately I do not see any audio architect for apple
Yeah windows only....
@@DJRickWeb so you cant eq the speakers on a mac book you have to use windows ??????????
Correct. You could use the boot camp to run it though
So do you always have be plugged up to internet?
No
Hi dj rick web, big fan of you and follow you for about 2 years now, great videos allways, i got question, have a good deal on both a pair of srx 815p's and srx 835p's, a couple oh hpundreds is drifferene not huge, i plan to run them on 3 subs, 2 single 18' and 1 double, i went with that config becouse mostly, i mean 70-80 percent im using 2 subs, they are vrx918sp's, and i bought srx828sp, it is louder and goes lower than vrx, i mean louder tham both but a minimal difference is, exept it throw punch longer wich is bonus :), i sold my tops wich were etx from ev, i want to mach the all speakers so first portability is a big factor, will there be a big difference bitweeen them 815p and 835p in throw, will 835p cower more people, or should i go for 815p couse 835p will outsound" mine 3 subs, 2vrxo18sp and 1 srx828sp subs? Thx and keep with good videos as allways i am following :)
The throw will be the same because both tops have the same tweeter high frequency driver. 825 will be a fuller sound. But end of the day raw output and throw is the same
Does anyone know if the Software is finally compatible for Mac?
Question, do you just connect ethernet from speaker into router that computer is connected to? Basically my network? Any info is appreciated on how to make the connection. thanks
Yes. But I believe your computer needs to be hardline connected as well. That's how mine is setup never tested through wifi
@@DJRickWeb Thanks for the reply. I set up a similar preset and it sounds fine, but it seems I can attain a similar sound with just my mixer eq. Do you usually run this or other presets or just leave the JBL factory and eq with your mixer ?
I use a driverack for my tuning
@@DJRickWeb gotcha, I'm doing a wedding tomorrow, inside, gonna see how it sounds but seems like my ...dance...preset may be too much for the size of the venue. Owner has already made comments on not having too much bass
Lol I hate those people. Like do you not like people having fun and the bass shaking there bodies. Lol. I got a wedding tomorrow as well
Super
Thanks for everything what do you think about srx835p
Good but super heavy
@@DJRickWeb
Can I load on stand
If you can lift it.
Does Audio Architect for for the PRX line of JBL?
Negative. Prx you can only use the wifi app thing. Which is still pretty powerful on it's own for tuning the speaker
Witch is more punchy and better sounding srx835p or prx835w?
Srx835p. It uses higher quality drivers, better, and more powerful amps.
@@DJRickWeb
Do you think srx835p is good speakers to buy
Yes
Actually, Rick Barr and the boys from Poshe should have had the speakers running flat to do a fair comparison.
And actually used a mixer that produces a quality signal. Not an ipad
Have you heard or used the srx 18 inch single sub?
I got a demo of it. Wasnt impressed.
DJ Rick Web darn.
15:35 Only PRO speakers!
😂 that's nothing compared to what my neighbours do. My neighbours do road rage at deafening rate.
@@josealfredfernandes Haha!
So when u select a preset that’s a flat no eq and no crossover and u can do it on an xternal procesor
Technically yes. Not sure what exactly your asking. Its complicated
Hi Rick. 1 question, can 815 firmware be loaded onto 835 input board, so that 835 is now 815? got a dead 815 input board here. i have a spare 835 input board here, just wandering if its possible to load 815 firmware onto it.
No idea
I forgot to mention the network does recognize that the speaker is hooked up but not the hi q net
Hey like you said in ur vid maximum volume right so if we speak as srx volume +12 is the Max. So you played it at +12 at the back and max on your mixer as well?
No. Mx volume before clipping. 0 db
@@DJRickWeb i dont get it.. can i contact you through insta?
Are you able to tune the PRX815w’s the same way?
Not the same steps. But same concept. You use the iPhone/ android app with them
Ohh okay, cool!
