JBL AC895 - 300W 8-inch Passive 2-Way Installation Loudspeaker with 90 x 50-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The JBL Professional AC895 is a compact and high-performance 2-way passive loudspeaker designed for fixed installations in both commercial and professional environments. Featuring an 8-inch low-frequency driver and a 1-inch exit compression driver, the AC895 delivers a balanced sound with exceptional clarity and precision across a broad frequency range. Its 90° by 50° coverage pattern, facilitated by the PT Progressive Transition waveguide, ensures wide and even sound distribution, making it ideal for a variety of applications, such as small to medium-sized venues, corporate installations, and theaters.

Designed with versatility in mind, the AC895 features a rotatable waveguide, allowing for flexible positioning of the speaker depending on whether it is mounted in a vertical or horizontal orientation. This ensures consistent high-frequency coverage throughout the listening area. The high-slope passive crossover minimizes band overlap, enhancing the speaker's efficiency and providing a smoother off-axis response, while the robust enclosure ensures durability and high performance even in demanding installation scenarios.

The AC895 boasts a frequency range of 70 Hz to 20 kHz (-10 dB) and 75 Hz to 18 kHz (±3 dB), providing full-range performance suited for a wide variety of sound reinforcement needs. Its maximum SPL of 116 dB (122 dB peak) allows it to produce loud, clear audio even in large spaces. With a nominal impedance of 8 ohms, the speaker is compatible with most professional audio systems, providing flexible integration options. The compact, durable cabinet is made of 15 mm multi-ply hardwood plywood, finished with a textured black paint for a sleek and professional look.

The AC895 also features multiple mounting points for flexible installation. M10 threaded suspension points are included, with additional threaded inserts on the back of the enclosure for the attachment of MultiMount brackets or similar mounting options. The speaker is also equipped with dual Neutrik NL4 connectors, providing reliable connectivity options for professional audio systems.
