Mine arrived yesterday. Once I got it assembled and running, the first issue I encountered was related to listening position - standing vs seated. When standing, the top of the column is at the average persons head height. The audio was full range - rich lows through nice, airy, highs. As soon as I sat down, boom! - highs GONE instantly - leaving only lows through high mids. This is probably due to the unit’s relatively narrow, vertical, look angle (30 deg). My test space is small and I could only get 10 ft away from the unit. At that distance some of the highs started to return. Perhaps further out the sound spectrum would expand more. That said, my impression is that this unit is not suited for intimate, sit-down venues. Better suited for events where folks will be up on their feet. Volume wise - It scared my wife and my cats. It’ll do 😉🤭
@@seancaseo84 they way the speakers are set, to my ears the spread is better. If you look at the EV. The main drivers are setup in a small line array fashion
Your opinion, please, on how you think it would sound in smaller outdoor venue with hat surface walls to bounce off 25 feet away in front and on left ? Also, do you know have an idea for the BEST company ( cheapest and can get best coverage like you were talking about at the end of your video) from which to buy this? last, have you found anything comparable yet better since this video was made two years ago? I am a professional singer and often use backtracks and a microphone and sometimes a guitarist will plug-in as well
The market in my opinion, is intended for the singer song writer or small band. However it seems these are more popular as a PA system for Karaoke etc. Ill see what I can do about getting you a mic demo. Thanks for your feed back.
yes, I have 4 of JBL PRX one and pass through for all and sound very clear. total watts for all 4 are 8,000 watts. it take me 20-30 minutes to setup and easy cargo.
Thanks for doing this review. Much appreciated. They haven't hit the shores in the UK yet. I like the capabilities, it offers and thinking about replacing a pair of 12 inch active speakers (Yamaha DBR12's), with outtboard mixer for my backline PA for my keyboards (organ, piano etc), electric guitar and windsynth(sax). It would be less gear to set up etc so very attractive but would it cut through rock drums , electric guitar and bass with their own amps in a small pub/club venue ? On paper it has the SPL but is it loud ? Difficult question but does it have the guts ?
@@kalewalker8381 Does it have guts? The unit is pretty powerful. I did piss of my neighborhood testing it. However, the sub does lack the type of punch I like but is very resonate.
This pa been put together very very cheap. Even old school winding knobs.the reverb is totally unusable.& U cannot even plug in a separate reverb unit cos no return & send. No manual .this is not a professional pa.its nothing more than a cheep karaoke machine.and the mic & reverb not even fit for that.worth no more than $500 max. I would not recommend this JBL prx one to any one.
I just ordered one but do not expect it to equal the EV ZXA1 speakers and sub along with the Mackie ProFX12 that I just sold. Expecting to sacrifice some quality for convenience of portability.
I just opened mine and put it through some tests, note I'm a live musician and have worked with a lot of mixers in the past. I never noticed an issue with the tower sway, mine seats up solid. I did notice the movement on the knobs but have seen this a lot on soft knobs. The EQ and mixer do what they're designed to do in my opinion. I'm excited to get this thing out and play live through it. Then I'll be able to offer better feedback. Thanks for the review.
@@Kaledrums the big thing I noticed in practicing through it this weekend was the app mixer is a little hard to use and the EQ settings seem a little glitchy. Overall, I was able to get the tone I wanted on all channels and great volume.
All line arrays have column sway. A lot of people have made an issue of it with the Bose L1s but from what I’ve seen is a common issue but unlikely to cause a problem. ThT being said I do believe there is a optional column support you can buy if you feel it is a problem
@@billystarcher8146the app is really frustrating trying to get the exact # on the faders. They really need a +/- button on each fader The ipad app opens up A LOT of functionality but the UX is less than stellar But since there's no gain staging you can adjust everything on the fly wirelessly with an ipad I use the JBL Eon One Mark2 and already need more output so PRX One here we go.
Nice system, I prefer my Bose for several reasons. The ease of just getting great sound without tweaks Bose is fantastic. Plug and play. I usually don’t have time to sit and tweak the sound. Nice features that the Jbl offers were you can make adjustments to get better sound. Also prefer the reach and smoother coverage of the Bose. But all in all this is not a bad system. More of a learning curve with this unit but it’s not horrible.
That’s not particularly accurate and depends on which Bose L1 you’re using. The JBL system is equivalent to the Bose L1 Pro32 and is considerably cheaper than the Bose 32. Also as for plug and play that depends on if your personal gear is matched in the Bose tone matching. The Bose 32 has no upper mid and lower mids with no way of fixing it. The. One is brutal the stand near. The Bose is heavier with 3 components compared to the 2 part of the JBL. The Bose only has 3 channels and the JBL has 7 channels
2 minutes ago I just received my PRX One. All put together and powers on but no sound coming through speaker or woofer. I connected Bluetooth successfully and connected DJ controller. However, When I connect Bluetooth I do hear confirmation beeps come through speaker. I even read complete instruction manual online, But manual has no trouble shooting tips. Any suggestions from anyony would be appreciated. Thanks
Great review! Which would you recommend for the beach and parties between the JBL PRX One and the JBL Ultimate PartyBox? I'm looking for rich sound with strong bass.
hello honest review. i was wondering if with the app i can pair this speaker with my jbl one compact as a remote speaker... that would be dope for a cocktail speaker elsewhere.
II don't think you can Bluetooth control or Blue tooth pair both speakers. A thru or monitor out from the PRX would need to happen, if I am reading your message right. Here is a link to the manual for further confirmation jblpro.com/en/site_elements/jbl-prx-one-user-s-guide
Helpful sound samples, and even more helpful sharing of your views at the end. Pre-ordered one from Thomann here in Germany, due to arrive at the end of August. Will compare it with my HK Audio Polar 10 for use as a solo and duo acoustic performer running various guitars, stompbox bassdrum pedal, etc.
Thank you for watching. My biggest advice for now, is when you get it, take the time to learn and EQ the system. Given the depth of the menu and the time constraints on UA-cam, I wish I could of dived deeper into the system for all of you. Thanks again.
@@Kaledrums Your advice is much appreciated, and I will, indeed, follow it. Though I am kind of well prepared for all the app settings by having previously watched a few other videos, including JBL's own (lengthy and informative) presentation of the entire product in an interview by the chief product engineer with Aaron Short (who has an excellent YT channel). I have an RCF M18 digital mixer, so making such settings (compression, EQ, effects, feedback control, etc.) is not new to me. I expressly opted for the PRX One due to its user-tweakable settings and great (Lexicon) reverb, not to mention ample number of inputs for my various guitars, mandolin, bass, stompbox rhythm pedal, BeatBuddy, etc. The effects make it possible to gig in a very lean-and-mean way, without the need for my wonderful-but-huge pedalboard. OK, my boutique efffects no doubt sound a bit better, but the JBL's will be quite sufficient, I am sure. Many column systems have no or crippled effects, or lack compression, or suffer from "preset-only" limitations that castrate one's ability to tweak as needed. If this thing sounds authentic enough (after EQing, of course, in order to alleviate the "mids hole" of such systems), it'll serve me as an all-in-one solution for my solo gigs, as well as for my duo.
Yes they are very popular but the tripods and untidy appearance are the issues along with set up breakdown times and transport. Tripod speakers are good if you have stage space but often the available space at a lot of venues are corners or unusable spaces that would only fit the tripod
@@marcelchaloupka there are no tripods when using the QSC KS112 with a QSC CP8 mounted with a sub pole. I use bungee balls to hold down any loose wiring.
Depends on how wide the seating and deep. I would say you should be fine. Most places have an "X" amount of dates for return policies. I would suggest buying two and test out your venue. Let me know how it works out and best of luck

I did a 500 person outdoor venue with two of these. They worked like a charm and had some head room to spare. Sadly I have never set two side by side indoors. Hopes this helps.
With Mac you will have to use an emulator. Below is a link you can lick to show you how to do it, about halfway down the page. Best of luck softformac.com/jbl-connect-for-mac/
Thanks for the question. As far as I remember, you can not. I have been wrong about things before, so here is a link to the manual for the PRX to reference. jblpro.com/en/site_elements/jbl-prx-one-user-s-guide
From the JBL website "2 USB 2.0 ports charge devices and power AKG wireless systems (with optional JBL adapter cable)jblpro.com/products/prx-one. I may not have clarified it as I should have.
The EV EVOLVE 50M can be paired to a second 50M via an Ethernet cable to operate as one larger system with double the inputs. Can this also be done with two PRX1s so that their input doubt /count is doubled and they operate as a single larger system?
Its a cool feature as well as bicolumn modes. Sadly the unit is under powered at a thousand watts max, I believe the RMS is around 500-600 watts. I have reached out to the company to confirm this and see if I get an answer
technically you could use both mixers at the same time. Honestly, and if I am understanding you correctly, you would be better off using a standalone mixer with a couple of aux outs or monitor outs. EQs are usually saved even when the unit is turned off. Of course you can adjust and reset them at anytime.
Again, both are very good. The PRX has that clarity you expect from the JBL family but slightly scooped in the mids. I feel RCF offers a more flatter response where you notice EQ changes more quickly. Find a place where you can demo both and pick the one that works best for you
@@djfronkiejay Honestly it's left an right. The PRX has more power. It's my opinion the sound is better out of the EV, and the ease of use is desirable. Unless you need 2000 watts power or 1000RMS the jbl would be ok.
Hi Kale. I’ve heard the Evolve 30m from EV and was throughly impressed. If you have heard one too, would you say the JBL is better or worse in performance to the EV? Cheers Steve
They’re both great units. Where I feel that the jbl has more to offer in editing etc and a 12 in sub. I prefer the sound and ease of use of the Evolve 30
I'm looking to pick one of these up. I ready own and am gigging the EV30M, but looking for something with more throw for larger rooms and outdoor gigs. I also own a Mackie SRM-FLEX that I used prior to the EV. I also pair the 2 systems for larger rooms.
I did compare EV 50, PRX one and Harbinger MLS 1000. Decided to go with EV. JBL is not as it used to be, sounded processed even after I've turned everything off. Harbinger sounded better then JBL at least to my ears. EV has 3.5 inch top speakers vs 2.25 in JBL. I had high hopes for JBL.

I'm pretty much done with the review and won't be playing with the unit much more. I encourage you to do further research, or purchase one and see where it takes you. Thanks again for watching!!
Go mix out from one to the first channel in to the other. Otherwise if you have a mixer, you can go left in to channel one and right in to channel one of the second PRX
you will need to purchase an XLR cable for the length you want toe speakers to be about. which ever speaker you are bluetooth connecting too, you will use the pass thru out put on the back, and then connect the other end of the cable to the channel one input of your second speaker.
Totally. You use the mix out and pop the other end into a channel, especially if you are just using it for Bluetooth. Should your application be for live performance, I still would recommend a mixer of your choosing,
The Ev50m has an actual AUX1 out. I don’t think this one does. This is advertised as 2000w and the ev 50m Is 1000watts. Do you know if that output is at the same frequency? But it’s also 400$ less than the ev.
The JBL seems like it operates at a higher conitnuous watt, and I will admit that the sound is cleaner then the EV30 or 50 out the gate. However, with some proper eq I have heard the EVs sound as good or better. The numbers escape me, but both manufacturers site will tell you what frequency these will run at.
@@sepperoxx they actually make a toate and case for the evolve stuff. With the JBL the knobs really have me worries me. Here's a link for the Evolve tote. www.amazon.com/Electro-Voice-EVOLVE-CASE-Carrying-Case-EVOLVE/dp/B084H4G7GR/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjo2JBhCRARIsAFG667UlIjy_UqhsUM-mIxucxCVT_ZQt6bCOnru5JELYmPBW4lq4txX3rh4aAhEGEALw_wcB&hvadid=522838332449&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9032963&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=12117732741660943663&hvtargid=kwd-1019854040307&hydadcr=7939_11336394&keywords=evolve+30m+case&qid=1629768184&sr=8-3
You have to go in to the menu, down to settings etc connect Bluetooth audio paring, make sure the device you're using like your phone or computer is turned up. then turn the volume up on your Bluetooth channel, which is channel 7 also make sure the volume on the unit is turned up as well. Best of luck!
@@coreyadams6916 I've returned the unit, but if I can remember correctly I was about three quarters up on both lows and highs, and at about 3.8 with mids.
It's a different beast. It has the mixer and effect I like, like the EV30 , and the the size of speakers from the Evolve 50 I like. The 50 in my opinion hits harder but isn't as clear on top. You have to fiddle with it. Now, if you're asking which one I like more? It's the Evolve 50.
U will have to buy a reverb unit cos the reverb in the prx one is totally crap .and way to hard to adjust no directions and no one on UA-cam don't even no how to adjust but I can promise U this pa is Total crap
I know a lot of people that like the Bose. The JBL has more power and with good EQ it's crystal clear. Check your local dealer and see if you can demo the two.Also, if you don't need a seven channel mixer, the Bose may be a better option.
@@nyoandricky The Bose is a 1250 watt max SPL of 118 system. ThE JBL is a 2000 watt max 130 SPL system. The Bose offers a thousand to the sub and 250 to the tops as where the JBL has 1000 to the sub as well and 4 times the wattage going to the top than the Bose at 1000.
@@Kaledrums listen to it in person than write back specs on paper is nothing. I did not like bose until this new line they came out with check them out and the bose wattage is rms
@@nyoandricky I work for one of the biggest music supply companies in the US. As a result every day I get to A and B both units side by side for various uses. The Bose may be crisper. However with proper EQing and the value of the JBL , is what usually wins my clients over. The RMS is even a more moot point, and here is why. Should the Bose run at 1250 continuous. we can correctly guess that the JBL is running similar to maybe slightly less, let's say 1000.RMS. The MAX SPL is still higher on the JBL and you don't have to spend four to six hundred dollars to expand the input capability of your unit. I will agree the Bose unit is awesome, but as of now more people are buying the offerings and value from EV or JBL
What are your thoughts regarding pairing this unit with a home karaoke system (Magic Sing for example) located in a living room or family room? Would it be too much? Would I be better off with a pair of bookshelf speakers and a sub woofer?
I use it with an external mixer much easier can't be doin all that messing about
I still have no clue how to use the onboard mixer

The EV EVOLVE 50M can be paired to a second 50M via an Ethernet cable to operate as one larger system with double the inputs. Can this also be done with two PRX1s so that their input doubt /count is doubled and they operate as a single larger system?
Not that I know of, as I see no ethernet input. I may be wrong.
Db technologies es503 3channel amplifier you can split the top in stereo
Its a cool feature as well as bicolumn modes. Sadly the unit is under powered at a thousand watts max, I believe the RMS is around 500-600 watts. I have reached out to the company to confirm this and see if I get an answer
@@Kaledrums there is the db es1203

if i buy 2 PRX one can i use both mixers for channels? can i use a monitor? can i save eq settings?
technically you could use both mixers at the same time. Honestly, and if I am understanding you correctly, you would be better off using a standalone mixer with a couple of aux outs or monitor outs. EQs are usually saved even when the unit is turned off. Of course you can adjust and reset them at anytime.
thank you that was a big help
@@Kaledrums thank you i understand now.
can i get a bass drum kick sound with that thump in the chest with the eq.
@@roncormier1038 you might be able too. It's a 12in sub, so it may be more punchy than boomy. Give it a try and see if tickles you the right way.
How do these compare to the RCF Evox 12?
Again, both are very good. The PRX has that clarity you expect from the JBL family but slightly scooped in the mids. I feel RCF offers a more flatter response where you notice EQ changes more quickly. Find a place where you can demo both and pick the one that works best for you
will 2 of these be good for 4 piece party rock band with everything miked through and external mixer ?
That depends on the size of the venue honestly. For bars, small clubs etc, I think two speaker setup would be ideal.
Is there any column system that sound louder and nicer? I think bose l32 is better but the price is a lot different.
Look at the Evolve 50M from Electro Voice
@@Kaledrums really???
@@lucabertolaso2167 Yes, for real
56 lbs! (25.5 kg)! My 67 year old back is begging for mercy already and my unit hasn't even arrived yet. 😆
Im 68, so decided on buying the wheel board with cover.
@@philipsunderland3452 Me too!
Can you play music from phone on this
Multiple ways, but the easiest is Bluetooth
Need a comparison against the evolves 50 and rcf's
If you would like to purchase both of those for me, I will do a review.
@@Kaledrums I already got the evolves...just curious to see if the prx is an upgrade or basically the same.
@@djfronkiejay Honestly it's left an right. The PRX has more power. It's my opinion the sound is better out of the EV, and the ease of use is desirable. Unless you need 2000 watts power or 1000RMS the jbl would be ok.
Hi Kale. I’ve heard the Evolve 30m from EV and was throughly impressed. If you have heard one too, would you say the JBL is better or worse in performance to the EV? Cheers Steve
They’re both great units. Where I feel that the jbl has more to offer in editing etc and a 12 in sub. I prefer the sound and ease of use of the Evolve 30
I'm looking to pick one of these up. I ready own and am gigging the EV30M, but looking for something with more throw for larger rooms and outdoor gigs. I also own a Mackie SRM-FLEX that I used prior to the EV. I also pair the 2 systems for larger rooms.
@@jlepre752 the Evolve 50m would be a good choice too. Id try them both
I did compare EV 50, PRX one and Harbinger MLS 1000. Decided to go with EV. JBL is not as it used to be, sounded processed even after I've turned everything off. Harbinger sounded better then JBL at least to my ears. EV has 3.5 inch top speakers vs 2.25 in JBL. I had high hopes for JBL.
This bloottooht ok or not?
It is Bluetooth
You need mixer and notebook
Hi bro I am quite interested in the prx one and I want one where I can get it??
are you in the states?
No Im in Bolivia
There will be no way that I can send a shipment to Bolivia bro?
@@jorgetupa3388 Sadly my company does not ship to Bolivia. Hopefully this contact can help you out

Does it run cool to the touch? Previous Eon One Pro ran toaster hot!
Longest I have run this was about three and a half hours at moderate volumes. It wasn't hot or overheated in anyway.
Thanks! Very great review!! Hope you could dived more deeper on the EQ and show us your final EQ..
I'm pretty much done with the review and won't be playing with the unit much more. I encourage you to do further research, or purchase one and see where it takes you. Thanks again for watching!!
@@Kaledrums got it. Just wanna ask a question. Is the sub punchy like you can feel it on you chest? 12inch sub right
@@b_14-m8p Sadly I couldn't get it to do that. With Evolve the 50 or 30 it's almost instant with the same EQ I tried on the JBL
Just bought it today, but I need another one, any instructions as to how to link two?
Go mix out from one to the first channel in to the other. Otherwise if you have a mixer, you can go left in to channel one and right in to channel one of the second PRX
@@Kaledrums I'm a beginner sorry,, but we got them for a large adult day care and we want one on each end,,
you will need to purchase an XLR cable for the length you want toe speakers to be about. which ever speaker you are bluetooth connecting too, you will use the pass thru out put on the back, and then connect the other end of the cable to the channel one input of your second speaker.
@@Kaledrums awesome thanx, I'll buy the cable and speaker tomorrow...
Is it possible to connect 2 JBL PRX ONE Powered Column PA Speaker Systems together?
Totally. You use the mix out and pop the other end into a channel, especially if you are just using it for Bluetooth. Should your application be for live performance, I still would recommend a mixer of your choosing,
The Ev50m has an actual AUX1 out. I don’t think this one does. This is advertised as 2000w and the ev 50m Is 1000watts. Do you know if that output is at the same frequency? But it’s also 400$ less than the ev.
The JBL seems like it operates at a higher conitnuous watt, and I will admit that the sound is cleaner then the EV30 or 50 out the gate. However, with some proper eq I have heard the EVs sound as good or better. The numbers escape me, but both manufacturers site will tell you what frequency these will run at.
@@Kaledrums do u see any issue with shearing off any of those knobs in transit? If it had an AUX1 like the 50m I would have bought it in heart beat.
I tried the peavey ln1263, ugh the front end/interface was terrible coupled with poor design.
@@sepperoxx they actually make a toate and case for the evolve stuff. With the JBL the knobs really have me worries me. Here's a link for the Evolve tote. www.amazon.com/Electro-Voice-EVOLVE-CASE-Carrying-Case-EVOLVE/dp/B084H4G7GR/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjo2JBhCRARIsAFG667UlIjy_UqhsUM-mIxucxCVT_ZQt6bCOnru5JELYmPBW4lq4txX3rh4aAhEGEALw_wcB&hvadid=522838332449&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9032963&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=12117732741660943663&hvtargid=kwd-1019854040307&hydadcr=7939_11336394&keywords=evolve+30m+case&qid=1629768184&sr=8-3
So I just got a pair today. Got home and set them up and there's NO SOUND!!! No Bluetooth or signal is coming in. Smh....
You have to go in to the menu, down to settings etc connect Bluetooth audio paring, make sure the device you're using like your phone or computer is turned up. then turn the volume up on your Bluetooth channel, which is channel 7 also make sure the volume on the unit is turned up as well. Best of luck!
@@Kaledrums thanks for the heads up. can you let me know your eq settings?
@@coreyadams6916 I've returned the unit, but if I can remember correctly I was about three quarters up on both lows and highs, and at about 3.8 with mids.
@@Kaledrums Thanks for the video. Why did return? :( Im looking for a PA with best accurate wide frequency. Do you think IRX100 series are good?
What's ur take on this going against the electro voice Evo 50?
It's a different beast. It has the mixer and effect I like, like the EV30 , and the the size of speakers from the Evolve 50 I like. The 50 in my opinion hits harder but isn't as clear on top. You have to fiddle with it. Now, if you're asking which one I like more? It's the Evolve 50.
I have learned that EV has a 6-7 channel mixer Evolve 50. For 1999.99 it may be worth it
U will have to buy a reverb unit cos the reverb in the prx one is totally crap .and way to hard to adjust no directions and no one on UA-cam don't even no how to adjust but I can promise U this pa is Total crap
I'm debating between buying the Bose L16 or waiting for this. Love the sound of the Bose and not sure the JBL will sound as good. Any thoughts?
I know a lot of people that like the Bose. The JBL has more power and with good EQ it's crystal clear. Check your local dealer and see if you can demo the two.Also, if you don't need a seven channel mixer, the Bose may be a better option.
@@Kaledrums fyi the Bose pro16 is way stronger than the jbl its not even in the same class
@@nyoandricky The Bose is a 1250 watt max SPL of 118 system. ThE JBL is a 2000 watt max 130 SPL system. The Bose offers a thousand to the sub and 250 to the tops as where the JBL has 1000 to the sub as well and 4 times the wattage going to the top than the Bose at 1000.
@@Kaledrums listen to it in person than write back specs on paper is nothing. I did not like bose until this new line they came out with check them out and the bose wattage is rms
@@nyoandricky I work for one of the biggest music supply companies in the US. As a result every day I get to A and B both units side by side for various uses. The Bose may be crisper. However with proper EQing and the value of the JBL , is what usually wins my clients over. The RMS is even a more moot point, and here is why. Should the Bose run at 1250 continuous. we can correctly guess that the JBL is running similar to maybe slightly less, let's say 1000.RMS. The MAX SPL is still higher on the JBL and you don't have to spend four to six hundred dollars to expand the input capability of your unit. I will agree the Bose unit is awesome, but as of now more people are buying the offerings and value from EV or JBL
What are your thoughts regarding pairing this unit with a home karaoke system (Magic Sing for example) located in a living room or family room? Would it be too much? Would I be better off with a pair of bookshelf speakers and a sub woofer?
This would be fine. Granted this unit is design for live performance. However, thats what volume controls are for. Go make it happen.
Prx one is Total Chinese junk worth no more than$500
lets us know what's going on with it?
