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

The JBL Professional AC115S is a high-power, 15-inch passive front-loaded subwoofer designed to deliver deep, natural low-frequency reproduction for a wide range of fixed installation applications. Part of JBL's AE Application Engineered Series, the AC115S is built to provide exceptional performance, offering extended bandwidth and high output levels for both music and sound reinforcement. This subwoofer is engineered to handle high power and long excursion, ensuring accurate low-frequency sound reproduction with impressive output. The AC115S features a vented, front-loaded configuration, which maximizes low-frequency reinforcement and helps produce clear, powerful bass that is ideal for large venues, theaters, and performance spaces.

At the heart of the AC115S is a high-sensitivity 15-inch low-frequency driver with a 3-inch voice coil, capable of handling up to 1600W of peak power. This driver, combined with the large port design, enables the subwoofer to deliver robust low-end output with minimal power compression. The AC115S is designed to provide maximum SPL with long-term reliability, achieving up to 120 dB of maximum SPL (126 dB peak) at a 1-meter distance. Whether used in permanent installations or as part of a portable PA system, this subwoofer's durable design ensures consistent performance, even at high volumes.

The AC115S features a robust enclosure constructed from 18 mm multi-ply hardwood plywood, providing both strength and resonance-free performance. The textured black finish offers durability and an aesthetic that complements a wide range of environments, while the powder-coated, perforated steel grille with acoustically transparent foam backing ensures the protection of the driver while maintaining optimal acoustical transparency. With 12 M10 threaded suspension points, the AC115S offers ultimate flexibility for mounting and installation, ensuring it can be positioned for optimal sound coverage in any venue.

Designed for versatility and ease of use, the AC115S includes dual Neutrik NL4MP connectors and covered barrier strip terminals for secure and reliable connections. Whether you need to integrate it with other JBL speakers or other systems, this subwoofer provides the flexibility to accommodate a variety of setups. For added flexibility, optional accessories such as the MTU-28 U-bracket and the M8 x 38mm Tee Knot Thumbscrew Kit allow for further mounting options, making this subwoofer suitable for a variety of installation needs.
