JBL Intellivox DSX500 HD Active Beam-Shaping Column Loudspeaker Array

The JBL Intellivox DSX500 HD represents the pinnacle of the slim-line DSX series, delivering exceptional audio performance for demanding professional environments. Designed for venues requiring long throw capability and precise sound coverage, this flagship column loudspeaker array offers an acoustic length exceeding 4 meters, enabling coverage of areas up to 70 meters while maintaining a consistent sound pressure level.

The DSX500 HD features twenty-eight custom-designed 4" full-range loudspeakers and eight 1" horn-loaded dome tweeters, all driven by a sixteen-channel Class-D amplifier and a sophisticated switched-mode power supply for long-term reliable operation. The loudspeakers are configured using JBL’s patented algorithm to optimize both vertical and horizontal sound distribution, ensuring even coverage across large audience areas. DDS (Digital Directivity Synthesis) technology enables precise vertical beam shaping, allowing the sound to be aimed accurately while maintaining wide horizontal dispersion for balanced audio coverage.

Comprehensive control is available via JBL’s proprietary WinControl software, which allows easy adjustment of beam steering, audio processing, and integrated surveillance features for Voice Alarm compliance. Built-in 32-bit floating-point DSP, dual line inputs, volume control, and delay of up to 20 seconds provide flexibility for professional installations. The slim, unobtrusive design ensures seamless integration in architecturally sensitive environments, while low-frequency response can be expanded with JBL subwoofers to achieve full-range high-fidelity sound. Ideal for large conference facilities, atriums, lecture halls, theatres, museums, transport hubs, and large houses of worship, the DSX500 HD offers unmatched clarity, intelligibility, and performance.
