JBL AW595-LS-BK - 400W 15-inch Passive 2-Way IP55-Rated 70V/100V Installation Loudspeaker with 90 x 50-Degree Coverage and EN54-24 Certification in Black Finish

The JBL Professional AW595-LS-BK is a high-performance, full-range loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional sound clarity, powerful bass, and crisp highs in a variety of demanding environments. Featuring a robust 2-way system, it is equipped with JBL's advanced Differential Drive technology, incorporating a 15-inch JBL 2265H low-frequency driver and a 38 mm 2432H high-frequency compression driver. These high-quality drivers provide a balanced, full-range audio output that is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The AW595-LS-BK is optimized for commercial installations and life safety applications, as it meets the EN 54-24 standard for emergency sound systems, ensuring reliable operation in critical environments.

Designed for flexibility, the AW595-LS-BK includes a rotatable 90° x 50° Progressive Transition (PT) waveguide, which allows users to easily adjust the coverage pattern between vertical and horizontal orientations, depending on the installation needs. This feature provides exceptional pattern control with low distortion, ensuring clear and uniform sound distribution throughout the venue. The loudspeaker's robust construction includes a weather-resistant fiberglass enclosure with an IP55 rating, offering excellent protection against dust and water, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations in harsh conditions.

The system also includes a 400W transformer for 70V/100V line applications, ensuring compatibility with large-scale, distributed sound systems. The AW595-LS-BK's long-term system power rating of 400W (with a peak of 1600W) and its maximum SPL of 127 dB SPL continuous (133 dB peak) ensures that it can handle demanding sound requirements with ease, providing clear audio even in larger, acoustically challenging spaces. Its sensitivity of 100 dB SPL (1W @ 1m) makes it highly efficient, while the 70V/100V transformer taps offer flexibility in power distribution, with settings for 400W, 200W, and 100W on the 70V line and 400W and 200W on the 100V line.

The AW595-LS-BK is part of JBL's AE Series, designed for versatility and easy installation. It includes a corrosion-resistant zinc-plated polyester powder-coated U-type mounting bracket, ensuring secure and stable mounting on flat surfaces or in corners. The grille is made from 16-gauge stainless steel, backed with open-cell foam and mesh, providing extra durability and protection for the speaker in tough environmental conditions.
