The AW566 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 wave-guide provides
excellent 60° x 60° coverage. The
loudspeaker system can used in either
the vertical or horizontal orientation.
The enclosure is constructed of
multilayer glass composite and is
heavily braced to maximize low-
frequency performance. The 16-gauge
stainless steel grille, backed with open
cell foam and stainless steel mesh,
provides excellent protection in the
harshest environments. The system is
equipped with a 400 W 70/100V
transformer.
A corrosion-resistant extra-thick zinc-
plated polyester powder coated U-type
mounting bracket is included.
The AW566 is part of JBL’s AE Series,
a versatile family of loudspeakers
intended for a wide variety of
applications.
