JBL PRX715 with 15'' or 18'' sub

[Jovance Todorov]

I'm looking to buy a new PA at the moment.

I'm looking at a pair of JBL PRX715 tops and the PRX715 XLF sub or the PRX718 XLF sub.
The system will be used for events with 300-400 people.
I would like to buy 715xlf sub because Lightweight is very important for me. Sub715xlf is 25,4kg, sub718xlf is 36,8kg.
I must to buy PRX 715 tops, because for small events for 100 people , I'm planing to use just 2 pieces of them, but for bigger events I will use and 2 subs.
What sub to buy?

I have one more question. Because PRX715 have 2 channel mixer can I use that channels if I play alone with just one keyboard aranger and 1 microphone without mixer? If I put keyboard and mic in one loudspeaker, how can I link it with another loudpeaker.


Thanks in advance,
Jovance Todorov

I'd get the 712s and always use a sub.

The PRX715's are great - good choice! I would and do use the 18" xlf's below them - very nice sounding sub's, and surprisingly lightweight. The system will be just right for about 300 people.

Yes, you can use the two inputs for keyboards and a mic. There is a "THRU" xlr output to send the signal to a 2nd speaker.
