The AM5215/66 is a medium power,
lightweight, 2-way, full-range loudspeaker
system comprised of the JBL Differential
Drive dual voice coil and dual magnetic
gap 265H-1 380 mm (15 in) low frequency
driver and 2408H-1 high-frequency 38 mm
(1.5 in) exit, 38 mm (1.5 in) voice-coil
compression driver. The large format
Progressive Transition waveguide provides
excellent 60° x 60° coverage. The
waveguide is rotatable so the loudspeaker
system can be used in either the vertical
or horizontal orientation. High-slope
passive networks minimize band overlap.
Well-controlled off-axis response enhances
arrayability.
The enclosure is constructed of multi-
ply birch coated in JBL’s rugged
DuraFlex™ finish and is heavily braced to
maximize low-frequency performance.
The trapezoid enclosure is fitted with
fifteen M10 threaded attachment points
and utilizes a 14-gauge steel grille
internally lined with acoustically
transparent foam to provide additional
driver protection and give a very
professional appearance.
The AM5215/66 is part of JBL’s AE
Series, a versatile family of loudspeakers
intended for a wide variety of
applications.
