Inspection & Maintenance

Suspension systems are comprised of mechanical devices and, as such, they require regular inspection and rou- tine maintenance to insure proper function ability. JBL SRX700F loudspeakers must be inspected for fatigue at least annually. The inspection shall include a visual survey of all corners and load bearing surfaces for signs of cracking, water damage, de-lamination, or any other condition that may decrease the strength of the loudspeaker enclosure. Accessory rigging hardware provided with or for the JBL SRX700F loudspeakers must be inspected for fatigue at least annually. The inspection shall include a visual survey of the material for signs of corrosion, bending or any other condition that may decrease the strength of the fastener. Additionally, any eyebolts shall be checked for possible spin-out of the enclosure. For all other hardware and fittings, refer to the hardware manufac- turer's inspection and maintenance guidelines for process.

Prior to suspending the system, an expert, trained and experienced in flying speaker systems should inspect all rigging parts and components.

The JBL SRX700 suspendable version loudspeakers are supplied with built-in internal brackets. The system is designed to facilitate the suspension of the loudspeaker by a qualified person familiar with rigging hardware and industry practices. Improper installation may result in damage, injury or death.

Working Load Limit

The working load limit (WLL) of any JBL SRX700 suspendable loudspeaker will be maintained as long as no more than 136 kg (300 lb) is suspended by a minimum of TWO (2) PRIMARY SUSPENSION points (Track Suspension), or 46 kg (100 lb) is suspended by TWO (2) of the SECONDARY SUSPENSION points (M10 Forged Shoulder Eyebolts).

Flying for Portable Applications (Primary Suspension)

For portable, temporary suspension of SRX700F models, order the JBL SRX-FF3. This kit includes three detach- able fly-clips. For additional suspension components, contact a professional rigging hardware supplier.

Before lifting any speaker using fly-clip attach- ments, be certain that the latch mechanism of all fly-clips is fully and properly engaged with the track. An audible click will be heard.

SRX700 specifications

The JBL SRX700 series is a line of professional loudspeakers that has been designed for a variety of applications, including live sound reinforcement, installations, and portable use. Known for its high-performance capabilities, the SRX700 series delivers exceptional audio quality and durability, catering to the needs of sound engineers and audio professionals alike.

One of the standout features of the JBL SRX700 series is its advanced transducer technology. Each speaker is equipped with JBL’s proprietary components, including high-performance woofers and compression drivers. This ensures that users experience a wide frequency response with minimal distortion, allowing for crisp highs and deep, powerful lows. The series is designed to deliver a maximum SPL (Sound Pressure Level) that is suitable for large venues, making it an ideal choice for concerts, festivals, and corporate events.

The SRX700 series incorporates JBL’s DuraFlex™ finish, which is a rugged, protective exterior designed to withstand the rigors of touring and installation. The cabinets are made from high-quality plywood, which contributes to the durability of the speakers while reducing unwanted resonance that can color the sound. Each model is also equipped with integrated rigging points, allowing for easy suspension in a variety of configurations.

Another key technology in the SRX700 series is the built-in digital signal processing (DSP). This feature enables users to fine-tune the audio performance through advanced algorithms, providing presets that enhance the acoustics depending on the venue and application. The DSP also includes EQ adjustments, time alignment, and crossover settings, ensuring optimal audio output that meets the specific needs of any sound system.

The series consists of various model options, including both active and passive configurations. The active models come with built-in amplifiers that precisely match the speakers’ specifications, ensuring efficient power management and performance consistency. The passive models allow more flexible integration with existing sound systems, making the SRX700 a versatile choice for diverse sound reinforcement applications.

In conclusion, the JBL SRX700 series combines advanced transducer technology, durable construction, and sophisticated digital signal processing to deliver high-quality audio performance. Its flexibility and reliability make it a popular choice among audio professionals looking to elevate their sound reinforcement capabilities. Whether used for live events or installed systems, the SRX700 series is engineered to meet the demands of even the most discerning listeners.
