Published on 06/28/12 at 21:08At first appearance the JRX 115’s by JBL are pretty big in size and in sound. They are a lot bigger than we originally thought they would be. We did have some issues with getting them in and out of the van at certain times because the van doubles as our gig van and our real job van. But they arent as heavy as they look, the heaviness was not an issue at all, they are just bigger than expected.
Now using the JR 115’s in a gig setting is a little tricky, because with these speakers I wouldn’t want to use them or recommend you use them if you are in a very large space or have more than 150 to 200 people at hand, the more people you have there the more crowd noise. And some monitors really have trouble being over the crowd. If you have speakers that cant play over the general crowd noise then it really takes away from the whole experience because you can do what you want and say what you want to say to the crowd but these people will still continue to have a good time no matter if you are playing or not. If your speakers arent loud enough it just makes you look bad and your brand.
This speakers are good, but not great. Like I said in a larger venue I don’t recommend them or in a venue with more than 200 people I would say don’t purchase them. They are big looking but the sound isn’t as big as they look, it could really end up hurting your career if you choose the wrong monitors. You must play to have the right monitors for the right situations. that’s why it is good to have a few different kinds like we keep around just in case.
