JBL SRX718S Details top
For over a decade, JBL SR and SRX series speakers have represented the best performance, highest quality and most advanced driver technology available to portable PA users. The SRX700 series continues that tradition and moves the bar even higher.
The advanced technology of SRX700 series speakers delivers the power and performance that you would expect from the highest quality, professional rig. At the same time, JBL innovation and design have reduced system weight so load in and out are a breeze. All this performance is housed in rugged birch enclosures for years of superb performance.
All SRX700 2 and 3-way models may be operated full-range or bi-amplified. The selection is made by means of a high-current, recessed switch mounted on the input plate. The switch is accessible while also being protected from accidental mis-setting.
The same switch arrangement is used on the subwoofer to select +/-1 or +/-2 operation.
SRX700 is constructed of top quality birch plywood and coated in JBL's rugged DuraFlex™ finish. Extensive use of internal braces and bulkheads makes the enclosures extremely rigid. This reduces acoustic losses caused by panel resonance. The attractive CNC-machined, 16-gauge steel grille wraps around the sides of the enclosure so there are no protruding lips on the front of the system to create acoustical interference. The grilles are internally lined with acoustically transparent foam to provide additional driver protection and give a totally professional appearance.
High Power
Amplifier manufacturers are building amps that can produce more power at less cost than ever before. The SRX700 series lets you unleash that power with a new generation of very high power low-frequency drivers. That would be enough for most manufacturers, but JBL accomplished this while also greatly reducing the weight of the drivers.
Incredibly Lightweight
SRX700 uses JBL's parented Differential Drive® woofers with neodymium magnets. Neodymium's magnetic properties allow a few ounces to replace pounds of conventional magnet.
SRX718S - 18" subwoofer
The SRX718S subwoofer's compact design is equally at home as a small, high-performance satellite subwoofer system or as a building block for larger subwoofer arrays. The 13-ply birch enclosure is rigidly braced for solid response. A top-mounted, M20 threaded pole receptacle is used to ensure that even heavier, high-power satellite speakers can be securely mounted using the optional, adjustable SS4-BK speaker pole. Threaded insert points are provided for attachment of the optional WK-4 wheel kit.
Key Features:
•18 inch, 2268H Differential Drive®
woofer for extended low-frequency
output
•Large port area for reduced
distortion
•20 mm threaded pole socket for
solid, secure satellite speaker
mounting
Applications
•Live performance venues
•Mobile and fixed DJ systems
•Sound system rental
The SRX718S is a compact, high
power subwoofer system containing a
2268H neodymium magnet, patented*
Differential Drive®, 18" woofer in a
front-loaded, vented enclosure. The
enclosure is designed to present a
minimum frontal area. The system
offers complete input connection
flexibility for compatibility with a
variety of cabling schemes. A recessed,
external switch allows selection of
either contacts +1/-1 or +2/-2.
The SRX718S is equipped with a
top-mounted, threaded, 20 mm socket
that can receive the optional SS4-BK
pole. This adjustable height pole can
be used to mount speakers equipped
with standard 35 mm pole sockets and
weighing up to 50 kg (100 lb). The
threaded socket minimizes buzzing
and rattling and assures that the pole
will be secure and straight.
The enclosure is constructed of top
quality birch plywood, coated in JBL’s
rugged DuraFlex™ finish and is
heavily braced to maximize lowfrequency
performance. The attractive
CNC-machined, 16-gauge steel grille is
internally lined with acoustically
transparent foam to provide additional
driver protection and give a very
professional appearance. The rear of
the enclosure is fitted with T-nuts
which may be used to attach the
optional WK-4 caster kit.
