JBL PD743i Dual 8-inch 2-Way Horn-Loaded Speaker – 40° x 30° Coverage

The JBL PD743i is a dual 8-inch, 2-way horn-loaded loudspeaker engineered for professional sound reinforcement in large-scale installations and live performance environments. Utilizing JBL’s Precision Directivity™ technology, the PD743i delivers high-impact audio with unmatched clarity and projection. A single module achieves over 104 dB SPL continuously at distances up to 50 meters, making it ideal for both distributed systems and clustered arrays in challenging acoustic spaces.

Equipped with dual 8-inch CMCD-82H midrange drivers and dual 2432H high-frequency compression drivers, the PD743i provides precise pattern control down to 400 Hz while delivering rich, articulate midrange and crystal-clear highs. The IFS™ (Interference Free Summation) dual HF driver module eliminates destructive interference and increases output by up to 6 dB, ensuring consistent sound quality across the coverage area. The co-axial mid/high-frequency module layout enhances arrayability, minimizes overall system size, and simplifies integration into existing systems.

The trapezoidal enclosure is constructed from durable birch plywood with 18 mm and 16 mm panels, ensuring strength and longevity. The integrated rigging system allows for easy and flexible array design, while 32 suspension points accommodate various mounting configurations. The PD743i supports bi-amp operation with NL4 input connectors, with an optional WRC/WRX version available for outdoor or extreme environments, offering IP55-rated weather resistance and stainless steel hardware. Custom DSP presets compatible with Crown ITHD and IT4x3500HD amplifiers further enhance performance, making the PD743i a versatile, professional-grade solution for demanding sound applications.
