The JBL AWC82 is a compact, coaxial-driver, 2-way, highly weather-resistant full-range loudspeaker system which is ideal for speech and music-fill in a wide variety of applications, including sports facilities, racetracks, stadiums, fairgrounds, rodeos, skating rinks, themed entertainment venues, cruise ships, water parks, outdoor background music/paging systems, swimming pools, and a wide variety of other outdoor or indoor venue types.
The AWC82 is comprised of a high-power coaxial 8" (200 mm) low-frequency driver and 1" (25 mm) high-frequency compression driver. The coaxial 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, both eliminating high-frequency beaming, which is common among this category of speaker, and extending pattern control to the lowest possible frequencies. The result is a coaxial speaker with wide, extremely consistent 120° coverage on a broadband basis.
Component features include a Kevlar-reinforced low-frequency cone for reliability, a well-damped surround for smooth frequency response, high high-temperature voice coil, and a reduced distortion design through saturated-gap magnet geometry. The high-frequency compression driver features a unique patented design, high-temperature polymer diaphragm, and fluid-cooling for high output levels with low distortion.
The paintable enclosure is constructed of thick, ABS plus fiberglass and is heavily braced to maximize low-frequency performance. The corrosion-resistant zinc-rich extra-thick powder-coated steel grille is backed with open-cell foam and high thread-count mesh, providing excellent protection in the harshest environments. The system is rated IP-56, per IEC529, when installed at a minimum 5° down-tilt.
The system is equipped with a 200W 70V/100V multi-tap transformer. Connection is made via outdoor-rated terminals in a recessed terminal cup. A protective terminal compartment cover is included, along with a gland nut, which forms a water-tight seal with a round-jacketed cable having an outside diameter between 0.16" (4 mm) and 0.36" (9 mm).
A heavy-duty weather-capable zinc-rich, thick powder-coated U-type mounting bracket is included.
