The AM7215/66 is a high power,
lightweight, 2-way, full-range
loudspeaker system comprised of the
JBL Differential Drive dual voice coil
and dual magnetic gap 2265H 380 mm
(15 in) low-frequency driver and 2432H
high-frequency 38 mm (1.5 in) exit,
75 mm (3 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 AM7215/66 is part of JBL’s AE
Series, a versatile family of
loudspeakers intended for a wide
variety of applications.
