JBL AC115S-WH - 1600W 15-inch Passive Front Loaded Installation Subwoofer in White Finish

The JBL Professional AC115S-WH is a high-power, 15-inch passive subwoofer designed for fixed installation applications that require powerful, low-frequency reinforcement. Part of JBL's AE Application Engineered Series, the AC115S-WH is designed to deliver natural, extended low-frequency sound with remarkable clarity and detail, making it ideal for a wide range of environments, including commercial spaces, theaters, and other professional settings. Despite its compact design, the AC115S-WH provides extraordinary output - well beyond that of other comparably-sized subwoofers - delivering greater dynamic range and long excursion performance that ensures impressive bass reproduction and reliability in even the most demanding applications.

At the core of the AC115S-WH is a 15-inch low-frequency driver with a 3-inch voice coil, engineered for high sensitivity and minimal power compression. This driver is capable of producing extended low-frequency response, delivering deep, controlled bass with remarkable output levels. The vented, front-loaded configuration enhances the low-frequency performance by providing high output and increased efficiency, ensuring that the AC115S-WH can handle significant power levels. The system is capable of achieving a maximum SPL of 120 dB (126 dB peak) at 1 meter, making it suitable for large spaces and high-volume sound reinforcement. The subwoofer is designed to deliver 1600W of peak power, with an AES rating of 500W continuous and 2000W peak, providing reliability and clarity even at high volumes.

The AC115S-WH is housed in a rugged 18 mm multi-ply hardwood enclosure, offering exceptional durability and resonance-free performance. The subwoofer's powder-coated steel grille, which is acoustically transparent and backed by black foam, protects the driver while allowing optimal sound transmission. The cabinet's textured white paint finish makes the AC115S-WH a visually appealing addition to any environment, while also blending seamlessly into spaces that require aesthetic neutrality. With 12 M10 threaded suspension points, the AC115S-WH offers versatile mounting options, providing ultimate flexibility in installation and integration into a variety of setups. Whether suspended overhead, mounted on a wall, or used in a stack, the AC115S-WH can be adapted to fit the needs of the installation.

For enhanced flexibility, the AC115S-WH includes dual Neutrik NL4MP connectors and covered barrier strip terminals, offering reliable and secure connections for your audio equipment. Optional accessories like the MTU-28 U-bracket and M8 x 38mm Tee Knot Thumbscrew Kit (for use with BMB-200k or K&M 195/8 stand mount) further expand the installation possibilities, making this subwoofer a versatile solution for various sound reinforcement needs.
