Designed for musicians, performers, presenters, and instructors, the JBL IRX108BT is a powered 8" portable PA speaker with built-in Bluetooth that features remarkable volume, clarity, and a total ease of use. This pint-sized power house was professionally engineered to outperform larger competing systems.

The IRX108BT features 4 x real-world EQs to let you dial-in an optimal tone quickly and efficiently. The built-in dbx AFS feedback suppression ensures your vocals or speech sound as loud and clear as possible. Other notable features include 1-touch ducking, which automatically lowers the music volume when speech input is detected, and a bass-boost circuit for pumping up the low end at your next party.

The rear panel provides 2-channel mic/line inputs, each with combo XLR-1/4" connectors, as well as an XLR thru to connect additional speakers. Bluetooth 5.0 audio streaming lets you play backing tracks, video soundtracks, or recorded music between sets. It's possible to link 2 speakers to create a true stereo image.

The polypropylene enclosure and honeycomb grille is rugged and capable of handling the rigors of on-the-road wear and tear. The 1000W amplifier powers the 8" woofer and high-frequency driver to provide a frequency response of 54 Hz to 20 kHz with a peak SPL of 124 dB. The JBL IRX108BT ships with a power cord.

Q: 8. How do you monitor the audio? I don't see a headphone jack (unless it's the output?) and it appears as though wireless/bluetooth monitoring is impossible via the app.

A: You can use the output jack to connect headphones for monitoring audio. The F2-BT's Bluetooth is used for app control and timecode which requires the UltraSync BLUE (B&H #ATOMXSYBL1US). If you want to connect Bluetooth headphones, you could connect a separate Bluetooth adapter such as the GOgroove BlueSENSE TRM Bluetooth Audio Transmitter (B&H #GOBLUESENSE) to transmit audio from the F2's output to your Bluetooth headphones.
