JBL - IRX112BT 1300W Powered 12” Portable PA Loudspeaker with Bluetooth - Black

I have had my 2 IRX112 speakers for a couple of years now and they get used minimum 4 nights a week. Have had a couple of minor bluetooth issues with one dropping out from trying to pick up someone else's bluetooth! but have resolved this with a XLR joining cable. Great speakers - reliable and portable. Only thing is there is no actual "power off" switch so you have to turn the speaker off by turning power off from where it's plugged in, not the speaker itself. Highly recommend them however.

I'm not a DJ or a performer, bought this because my JBL Xtreme just wasn't loud enough. Was considering the Boombox, but this is so much louder, has so much more bass, and is way cheaper. Only thing is this has to be plugged in to work since it has no battery. Sound is unreal though, super clear, with a ton of bass

Excellent speaker very loud I feel like the base could stand to have a little more kick but that being said it's only a speaker and especially for the price it's very very loud , perfect for the outdoor event use I'm using it for , highly recommend

Bought this and I love it ,1300 watts is very loud and it has Bluetooth, I just add the irx115s and its awesome ,it rocks the hole house !! Buy a microphone cable to connect them tho.

These speakers have great sound quality and volume, and most of the additional features were quite intuitive to use with the exception of the bluetooth stereo pairing which was about the only thing that required reference to the manual to get working. I've used them as front of house speakers in a meeting room that seats about 100 people, and as stage foldback monitors, and their general performance has been excellent with the exception of one issue which wasn't apparent when I bought them that has made them unsuitable for my needs. I'll get to that later. When used in a FOH capacity they provided more than adequate volume and superb clarity in a 10m x 10m room. When used as stage monitors for either vocals or instruments they provided good sound distinction that cut through the ambient stage noise without contributing excessively to the overall noise volume. What wasn't mentioned in the literature for this speaker that has proved a problem to me is that they have no power memory capability when the power is cut to them so each time power is disconnected and then restored to them you have to press the power button on the back of the speaker for it to come on. This won't be an issue for a lot of people considering these speakers but it has proved problematic for me. When they were installed as FoH speakers they were on wall brackets at the height recommended by JBL that unfortunately put the power button in an unreachable position from the floor so a small step ladder had to be used each time the speakers were powered on from the PA master switch. The only alternative to this would have been to leave them powered on 24/7 which wasn't really an option in an installation that would only be used once or twice a week. This was much less of a problem when used as stage monitors because they were on the floor and easily reached but it was still inconvenient that they were the only items on the stage that required special attention when the power boards were switched on. One last final gripe was that when they were powered on the bluetooth stereo pairing didn't happen automatically and had to be manually initiated every time. For speakers that are used most days and can be left on 24/7 these are worthy of consideration for anyone looking for speakers in this size but for speakers that have to be regularly turned off and on from a power outlet or master switch I'd say look elsewhere.

Beautiful, excellent, great works of simple artistic designs with amazing sounds. My only disappointment on the IRX108BT is the absence of ventilation; apart from that, the IRX108BT is small in size but big in sound. Would recommend any time.

Sounds great, but when you say portable, t doesn't seem to have a rechageable battery for use in an outdoor situation without power available.

Very loud and clear but no bass. That's the only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars. If you're just looking for sound, speech other than a bass, its a very good speaker.

I was expecting more on this JBL, doesn't sound like a JBL speaker and doesn't sound like a 1000 watts speaker, I don't know just disappointed

Tried to purchase 2 of these. JBL offering 20% off and then wouldn't honor there discount code Spent over 30 minutes on phone when I was finally told that it can't be used on this item. Misleading and un professional. Will go with a different company
