JBL AC25-WH - 450W 2 x 5.25-inch Passive 2-Way Installation Loudspeaker with 90 x 90-Degree Coverage in White Finish

The JBL Professional AC25-WH is an ultra-compact, high-performance 2-way passive loudspeaker designed for a variety of fixed installation applications. Featuring a clean and modern white finish, the AC25-WH delivers maximum bandwidth and SPL in a single system package, making it an excellent choice for environments where both high-quality sound and unobtrusive aesthetics are required. Ideal for under-balcony, column, or wall mounting, this speaker can be installed close to walls and ceilings, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the surrounding space. The AC25-WH incorporates dual 5.25-inch low-frequency transducers, each with a copper-clad aluminum voice coil and a copper-capped pole piece that improves performance by reducing voice coil inductance and distortion. The 1-inch dome tweeter, integrated into a newly designed 90° x 90° waveguide, ensures smooth, even coverage throughout the entire listening area.

The AC25-WH is equipped with JBL's Filtered Array Technology (FAT), which optimally controls the dual woofers to manage magnitude and phase response. This results in smoother power response and more consistent coverage across the frequency spectrum, delivering natural voicing and outstanding sound quality. Designed to work in both the vertical and horizontal planes, the loudspeaker's rugged multi-ply hardwood enclosure ensures both durability and excellent acoustic performance. The speaker features a heavy-duty powder-coated steel grille with acoustically transparent foam backing, providing protection for the drivers while maintaining the integrity of the sound.

With a frequency range of 80 Hz to 20 kHz and a frequency response of 90 Hz to 18 kHz, the AC25-WH covers a broad spectrum of sound, from deep, punchy lows to crisp highs. The high-frequency driver has a sensitivity of 112 dB SPL at 1W/1m, ensuring clear and precise reproduction of treble frequencies, while the dual 5.25-inch woofers provide a system sensitivity of 91 dB SPL at 1W/1m. The system can handle 450W program power (900W peak), with a long-term power rating of 225W, ensuring that the speaker is capable of delivering high output for demanding applications while maintaining clarity and minimal distortion. The maximum SPL of 115 dB at 1 meter ensures that the AC25-WH can handle large areas without sacrificing performance.

The speaker's versatility is further enhanced by its mounting options, including M8 and M6 attachment points for easy installation with the optional MTU-25 U-bracket or OmniMount-compatible brackets. The enclosure is made from 12 mm multi-ply hardwood plywood, ensuring rugged durability, and the speaker's IP53 environmental rating makes it suitable for both indoor and semi-outdoor installations, offering protection against dust and water spray. This makes the AC25-WH ideal for environments where the speaker may be exposed to varying environmental conditions.
