JBL AWC159 All-Weather Loudspeaker High SPL for Speech and Music Public Address Systems

The AWC159 is a compact, coaxial-driver, 2-way, highly weather-resistant full-range loudspeaker system which is ideal for speech and music in a wide variety of applications. It is comprised of a high-power coaxial 380 mm (15 in) low-frequency driver and 38 mm (1.5 in) high-frequency compression driver. The co-axial design utilizes a unique tapered pole-piece design and transitions to the cone of the low-frequency driver as a large diameter pattern control horn for the high frequencies, eliminating high-frequency beaming and extending pattern control to the lowest possible frequencies. The result is a coaxial speaker with wide, extremely consistent 90° coverage on a broadband basis.

Component features include a Kevlar-reinforced low-frequency cone, well-damped surround, high temperature 75 mm (3 in) voice coil and a reduced distortion design through saturated-gap magnet geometry. The high-frequency compression driver features a patented design, high-temperature polymer diaphragm, and fluid-cooling for high output levels with low distortion.

The JBL AWC159 enclosure is constructed of ABS plus fiberglass and is heavily braced to maximize low-frequency performance. The steel grille is backed with open cell foam and high thread-count mesh, providing protection. The system is rated IP-56, per IEC529 when installed at minimum 5° down-tilt.

The AWC159 is equipped with a 300W 70V/100V multi-tap transformer. Connection is made via outdoor-rated terminals in a recessed terminal cup. Included is a protective terminal compartment cover, along with a gland nut. The high-frequency compression driver features a patented design, high-temperature polymer diaphragm, and fluid-cooling for high output levels with low distortion.

A heavy-duty weather-capable zinc-rich, thick powder coated U-type mounting bracket is included with the JBL AWC159 loudspeaker.

Applications

The JBL AWC159 is ideal for applications such as sports facilities, racetracks, stadiums, fairgrounds, rodeos, skating rinks, themed entertainment venues, cruise ships, water parks, outdoor background music/paging systems, swimming pools, and other outdoor/indoor venue types.
