JBL IVX-587480/230 Intellivox Series DSX280HD 16 x 40 Watts RMS 12 x 4″ Full Range Beam Shaping Active Column Loudspeaker

JBL Intellivox DSX280 HD Active Column Loudspeaker

The JBL Intellivox DSX280 HD Active Column Loudspeaker is designed for demanding acoustic conditions, providing a constant sound pressure level over a distance of up to 35 meters, with potential for longer range in less challenging environments. The system comprises twelve custom-designed 4-inch loudspeakers and four individually controlled 1-inch dome tweeters, driven by a sixteen-channel class-D amplifier with a sophisticated switched-mode power supply to ensure years of reliable operation.

The horn-loaded dome tweeters offer exceptional high-frequency vertical beam control while enhancing horizontal coverage and the overall sound quality for both speech and music. The DSX280 HD incorporates extensive surveillance functions to meet the stringent requirements of Voice Alarm (life safety) applications. The unit is fully controllable via JBL’s proprietary WinControl software, providing user-friendly adjustment of beam steering parameters, audio processing, pre-sets, and surveillance features. Its compact array design ensures unobtrusive installation even in architecturally sensitive environments, while low-frequency response can be extended using a JBL subwoofer system.

The DSX280 HD features vertical beam shaping using DDS Technology, wide horizontal dispersion, 32-bit floating point DSP, dual line inputs, volume control, delay up to 20 seconds, eight-band parametric EQ, and eight user-definable, password-protected presets. Additional features include automatic volume control via built-in ambient microphone, network readiness, upgradeable firmware, integral surveillance, and simulation capability with DDA, Catt-Acoustic, Odeon, and EASE4.3. It is ideal for transport hubs, places of worship, lecture halls, theatres, conference facilities, atriums, and museums.
