WEATHER RESISTANT Configurations for AE, PD & VLA Series
JBL offers two standard levels of weather resistance for AE, PD and VLA Series loudspeakers. WRC is intended for outdoor placement
where the loudspeaker will be sheltered from direct exposure to the elements. WRX is best suited for direct exposure to the elements or
any extreme environment such as tropical climate, beach areas, or other locations with high or low temperature extremes, salt air, high
humidity or rapid change in temperature.
Model Numbering – WR designation is a suffix to the standard model number. For example: AM5215/95-WRC or AM5215/95-WRX.
