Product Overview
The JBL DUR386612 is a USB-to-RS485 converter that serves as the universal programming interface for JBL AXYS and Intellivox loudspeaker systems. It connects a control laptop's USB port to the RS485 control bus used by these digitally steerable column arrays, allowing technicians to configure, tune, and update system settings during commissioning and service. As a commissioning accessory rather than an audio component, it is an essential tool for integrators deploying AXYS and Intellivox products.
Product Description
The DUR386612 bridges a standard USB connection to the RS485 serial bus that AXYS and Intellivox digitally steerable loudspeakers use for configuration and monitoring. Integrators use it to load beam-steering presets, adjust parameters, and perform firmware or settings updates with the manufacturer's programming software during installation and ongoing service. Because it is the designated universal programming interface for these systems, keeping one on hand streamlines commissioning and troubleshooting across projects. For the loudspeaker systems this converter supports, browse the JBL Professional collection.
