Daisy Bar celebrates 20 years with a powerful JBL SRX900 system upgrade that redefines sound in Tokyo’s indie heartland.

In the bustling cultural district of Shimokitazawa, Tokyo, where underground beats and independent spirit fuel the city’s creative energy, the iconic Daisy Bar has marked its 20th anniversary with a bold audio transformation. The beloved live house has raised the sonic bar with the installation of a JBL Professional SRX900 powered line array system — a move that’s already winning hearts on both sides of the stage.

Known for its eclectic roster of performances, from stripped-down acoustic sessions to high-decibel rock gigs, Daisy Bar needed an audio system that could deliver clarity, punch, and adaptability without overwhelming the venue’s compact footprint. After a thorough evaluation, the JBL SRX900 Series emerged as the clear front-runner — praised for its powerful output, sleek dimensions, and the trusted sonic precision that JBL systems are renowned for.

The installation, carried out by Line’s Corporation, features 6 units of the SRX906LA dual 6.5-inch powered line array loudspeakers paired with 2 units of the SRX928S subwoofers. The result is a seamless blend of headroom and high fidelity, with the SRX900’s punchy sound pressure levels providing enhanced vocal clarity and room-filling low-end that elevates every live performance.

“We’ve seen a significant improvement in sound quality,” reported the venue’s sound engineers, noting that the increased headroom has made mixing more intuitive and dynamic across genres.

Despite the spatial constraints, the SRX900’s form factor allowed for a clean and efficient installation that complements the venue’s aesthetic while meeting its high-output demands. For a space that lives and breathes live music, it’s a critical upgrade that positions Daisy Bar for the next era of unforgettable gigs.

As Daisy Bar continues to anchor Shimokitazawa’s vibrant music scene, the JBL SRX900 system ensures the venue’s sound is just as iconic as the artists who perform there — loud, clear, and full of soul.
