JBL AM5215/95 - 350W 15-inch Passive 2-Way Installation Loudspeaker with 90 x 50-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The JBL Professional AM5215/95 is a high-performance 2-way passive loudspeaker designed for professional audio installations that require robust sound and versatility. Equipped with a 15-inch low-frequency driver and a 1.5-inch high-frequency compression driver, the AM5215/95 delivers exceptional audio clarity, making it suitable for both large indoor venues and outdoor installations. With 90° x 50° coverage, this speaker ensures wide and even sound distribution, making it ideal for applications where consistent coverage and high output are essential. Whether used in theaters, concert halls, or other demanding environments, the AM5215/95 offers powerful performance that meets the needs of professional sound engineers and installers.

The AM5215/95 utilizes JBL's advanced Differential Drive technology, which features the 265H-1 15-inch low-frequency driver with a 50.8 mm (2 in) dual voice coil and dual magnetic gap. This driver provides powerful, accurate bass response with minimal distortion, while the 2408H-1 high-frequency compression driver ensures clear, detailed highs. The high-frequency driver features a 38 mm (1.5 in) exit and a 38 mm (1.5 in) voice coil for excellent high-end performance, delivering crisp and clean treble. Together, these components ensure that the AM5215/95 can handle a broad frequency range from 35 Hz to 20 kHz (-10 dB) with a frequency response of 41 Hz to 18 kHz (±3 dB), making it an ideal choice for full-range sound reproduction.

The speaker's large PT Progressive Transition waveguide provides precise control over the dispersion pattern, ensuring that the audio remains clear and consistent throughout the coverage area. The rotatable waveguide allows for flexible installation, enabling the loudspeaker to be mounted vertically or horizontally, depending on the space and requirements of the application. This feature enhances the versatility of the AM5215/95, making it suitable for a wide range of professional applications. High-slope passive networks in the AM5215/95 help minimize band overlap and improve frequency response, while the well-controlled off-axis response ensures that the speaker can be used in arrays without compromising audio quality.

Constructed from multi-ply birch, the speaker's trapezoidal enclosure is designed for durability and improved low-frequency performance. The rugged DuraFlex finish not only provides excellent protection against the elements but also ensures a professional appearance that will last through years of use. The enclosure is heavily braced to minimize resonance and provide cleaner, more accurate sound reproduction. It also features 15 M10 threaded attachment points, making it easy to securely mount the speaker in various configurations for flexible installation. Additionally, the 14-gauge steel grille, which is powder-coated for additional durability, is internally lined with acoustically transparent foam to protect the drivers from damage while ensuring that sound quality remains uncompromised.

Offering a maximum SPL of 125 dB-SPL continuous (131 dB peak) for low frequencies and 129 dB-SPL continuous (135 dB peak) for high frequencies, the AM5215/95 is capable of delivering clear, powerful sound even in large, high-demand environments. The speaker's sensitivity of 98 dB SPL (1W @ 1m) ensures that it delivers an efficient performance, requiring less power to achieve high output levels. With both bi-amp and passive crossover modes, the AM5215/95 offers versatility for different installation setups. The passive crossover frequency is set at 1.8 kHz, ensuring a seamless transition between the low and high-frequency drivers for a smooth, coherent sound.

The speaker's IP>3 rating, ensuring protection against water and dust ingress, makes it a reliable choice for both indoor and outdoor installations. The AM5215/95 is available in black, white, and weather-resistant WRC/WRX finishes, offering flexibility to match the aesthetic and environmental requirements of any installation. Whether you're working on a concert, theater, or corporate installation, the AM5215/95 provides the durability, power handling, and clarity needed to deliver high-quality sound in any setting.
