The Ultimate Light Weight, High-Output Portable PA :
MRX delivers outstanding performance where a smaller, lighter, more portable system is required with no sacrifice in sound quality or durability.
Sound on the Move :
The MRX line is a high quality portable PA that is truly portable. It’s a perfect solution for houses of worship, schools or any venue that requires a mobile system. If you need a PA that is as easy to store as it is to use – compact, powerful and manageable, the MRX500 Series is your choice for sound on the move, even when it’s just to the next room.
Superb Sound and High-Power Performance :
Taking a lead from the SRX700 Professional Loudspeaker System, these new components deliver extraordinary sound quality, power handling and performance yet, due to JBL’s advanced engineering, benefit from a significant weight savings over traditional designs. The result is a speaker system that will perform well
beyond any other system in its class.
Differential Drive Transducers :
JBL Professional designed a brand new range of 400W Differential Drive® transducers in 12" and 15" configurations, perfectly matched to the brand new 1.5" annular polymer diaphragm compression driver producing a transducer engine that weighs significantly less than traditional transducer designs, yet their performance, sound quality and power handling are extraordinary.
Custom Waveguides :
The constant beamwidth and power response of MRX500’s custom designed waveguide is perfectly matched to its direct radiating woofers which ensures superb coverage throughout the frequency range of the system.
Engineered Enclosures :
Combining mechanical design expertise, new materials and a DuraFlex™ finish, MRX500 enclosures have been optimized for minimum weight and maximum ruggedness. Proven Networks Utilizing years of design experience, MRX networks are built using proven components in the most sophisticated topologies in their class. For maximum reliability, all input and loop-thru connections are made via Neutrik® NL4MP connectors. In addition, the input connections can be easily reconfigured on the subs, for an efficient sub/sat cabling option.

Dual Angle Pole Mount :
The dual angle pole mount on the MRX512M and MRX515 offers much more control than the typical single mount. With a 10º down angle the speaker can be directed down toward your audience, keeping the energy off the back wall enhancing coverage and clarity.
Torture Tested and Road Proven :
Featuring as much as 30% less weight than comparable systems, the MRX was designed from the ground up by JBL engineers utilizing brand new lightweight JBL Differential Drive® transducer technology, engineered for this application. Drawing on the vast engineering excellence established with the industry standard and road proven VERTEC® Professional Loudspeaker Series, the MRX delivers outstanding performance for the DJ and musician where a smaller, lighter, more portable system is required with no sacrifice in sound quality or durability. Specifically engineered for MRX and completing the design, a series of rugged plywood enclosures, covered with JBL’s DuraFlex™ finish, a tough, textured scratch resistant surface, that ensures years of solid performance and professional good looks.
100 Hour Torture Test :
Like all JBL Professional products, the MRX Series is brutalized in JBL’s speaker torture test. Unique in the industry, the JBL torture test submits each component in the MRX Series to 100 hours of continuous, high level input, ensuring that the MRX will deliver its extraordinary sound even after years of tough handling and thousands of hours of performance.
Engineered to Move!
Live Music :
Performing musicians have long sought a system that is easy to transport, set up and adjust to the room, in very little time and typically with no assistance. Being your own sound man requires a hassle free system that is predictable and reliable, allowing you to quickly shift your focus back to the performance. The MRX is extraordinary in its coverage, allowing you to deliver super high quality JBL sound to every seat in the house.
Mobile DJ :
DJ’s are in constant need of wide bandwidth systems that can handle long hours of punishing, high decibel sound output with deep bass response, tight mids and crisp highs. But the mobile DJ must be able to achieve all this in an easily portable, super lightweight system. The MRX is without equal for this application, giving the flexibility, professional performance and road-tough durability that is as necessary as the quality of the sound.
The MRX518S is a compact, high power subwoofer system containing a 2044G 457 mm (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.
The input panel incorporates a pair of Neutrik® Speakon® NL-4 connectors wired in parallel. The MRX518S is supplied with pins +1/-1 connected to the woofer. This may be easily reconfigured to work with cabling systems intended to drive subwoofers on pins +2/-2.
For "Subwoofer/Satellite" configurations, the MRX518S is equipped with a top-mounted, 36 mm pole mount socket that can receive the optional SS3-BK pole. This can be used to mount speakers equipped with standard 35 mm pole sockets and weighing up to 50 kg (100 lbs).
The enclosure is constructed of top quality plywood, coated in JBL's rugged DuraFlexT finish and is braced to maximize low-frequency performance. The attractive CNC-machined, 16-gauge steel grille is internally lined with an acoustically transparent screen to provide additional driver protection and give a very professional appearance.
