JBL PD525S - 1000W 2 x 15-inch Passive Front Loaded Installation Subwoofer in Black Finish

The JBL Professional PD525S is a 1000W dual 15-inch passive front-loaded installation subwoofer designed to deliver high-output low-frequency performance in demanding professional sound reinforcement applications. Featuring two JBL 2275H 15-inch Differential Drive low-frequency drivers, the PD525S ensures superior bass reproduction with extended frequency response and low distortion. With a frequency range of 28 Hz to 3.8 kHz and a maximum SPL of 141 dB peak, this subwoofer is engineered for installations requiring impactful and precise low-end output, such as large venues, theaters, concert halls, and houses of worship. The front-loaded, vented design incorporates multiple ports to minimize port compression, ensuring consistent performance even at high output levels.

The trapezoidal enclosure of the PD525S is constructed from 18 mm 11-ply Finnish birch plywood and coated with a durable black DuraFlex finish for long-lasting reliability. The enclosure's 10-degree side angles allow seamless integration with other PD500 series loudspeakers, enabling coherent and scalable system configurations. Equipped with 20 M10 threaded suspension points, the PD525S can be flown or ground-supported, offering versatile installation options. Its CE-compliant barrier strip terminals support up to 10 AWG wire, ensuring compatibility with professional audio systems. Weather-resistant versions (WRC and WRX) are available, making the PD525S suitable for outdoor applications, including extreme climates or environments with high humidity, salt air, or rapid temperature changes. This combination of power, durability, and adaptability makes the PD525S a versatile and essential addition to any professional sound system.
