JBL AC28/95-WH - 750W 2 x 8-inch Passive 2-Way Installation Loudspeaker with 90 x 50-Degree Coverage in White Finish

The JBL Professional AC28/95-WH is a powerful and compact full-range loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional sound quality and high SPL performance while maintaining a sleek and unobtrusive appearance. It is ideal for installation in a wide range of fixed applications, including under balcony, column, or wall mounting. This versatile loudspeaker system features JBL's advanced technologies, providing both high-frequency clarity and deep bass response, making it perfect for environments that demand clear, consistent audio coverage.

At the core of the AC28/95-WH is a pair of dual 8-inch low-frequency drivers that use JBL's Symmetrical Field Geometry (SFG) technology. These drivers are equipped with a 2.5-inch edge-wound voice coil and a copper-clad pole piece, designed to reduce voice coil inductance and distortion. This ensures excellent low-frequency response and improved clarity. The high-frequency section is powered by a 1-inch exit compression driver integrated into a 90° x 50° rotatable Progressive Transition (PT) waveguide. This waveguide ensures even sound dispersion and smooth coverage across the intended listening area, offering a smooth power response that enhances natural voicing.

Additionally, the AC28/95-WH utilizes Filtered Array Technology (FAT) to independently control the magnitude and phase response of the dual woofers, resulting in smoother power response and more consistent coverage. The loudspeaker's user-selectable crossover network ensures that the high-frequency coverage pattern remains accurate regardless of whether the speaker is mounted vertically or horizontally. This feature allows the AC28/95-WH to deliver precision sound across a wide coverage area, ensuring optimal performance in a variety of configurations.

The AC28/95-WH's enclosure is constructed from exterior-grade multi-ply hardwood plywood, which enhances durability while maintaining acoustic integrity. This enclosure is designed to work seamlessly in both vertical and horizontal orientations, providing maximum flexibility for installation. The rugged plywood enclosure is finished with JBL's textured DuraFlex coating, making it both durable and attractive, while also providing protection against wear and environmental conditions.

For flexibility in mounting, the AC28/95-WH features multiple attachment points, including M8 suspension points and compatibility with a U-bracket or OmniMount type brackets. The speaker also has attachment points for stand mounts, offering even greater flexibility for installation. The grille is made from powder-coated 16-gauge perforated steel with acoustically transparent foam backing, ensuring protection for the drivers while maintaining sound clarity. The loudspeaker is also available in a weather-resistant version, with an IP53 rating, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.

The AC28/95-WH delivers high-performance audio with a frequency range of 65 Hz to 20 kHz, a system sensitivity of 94 dB SPL, and a maximum SPL of 120 dB, providing clear and powerful sound in a variety of spaces. The system has a long-term power rating of 375W (continuous), 750W (program), and 1500W (peak), with an AES standard power rating of 700W. This makes the AC28/95-WH ideal for use in applications where high output levels are required.

Overall, the JBL AC28/95-WH is a versatile, high-performance loudspeaker that combines exceptional sound quality, flexible installation options, and rugged durability. Whether used in commercial venues, public spaces, or other professional audio environments, the AC28/95-WH provides reliable, high-quality performance in a compact, visually discreet package.
