The AC16 is an ultra-compact fullrange loudspeaker system designed to
provide maximum bandwidth and SPL
in a single system package and yet be
visually unobtrusive. The enclosure
design allows for installation very close
to walls and ceilings making it an ideal
choice for under balcony, column, or
wall mounting. The high frequency
device is a 1" exit compression driver
integrated into a newly designed 90° x
90° PT™ (Progressive Transition)
waveguide providing even coverage
throughout the intended listening area.
The combination exhibits smooth
power response resulting in extremely
natural voicing. The AC16 utilizes a 6.5"
Symmetrical Field Geometry (SFG™) LF
Transducer with a copper-clad
aluminum edge wound 2" voice coil
and a copper-clad pole piece that
improves performance by reducing
voice coil inductance and distortion.
The rugged multi-ply hardwood
enclosure is designed to work in the
vertical plane as well as in the
horizontal plane. Mounting points are
provided for an optional U-bracket and
for an OmniMount
AC16 is also equipped with attachment
points located on the bottom of the
enclosure for a stand mount accessory.
The rugged plywood enclosure
features JBL’s textured DuraFlex™
finish and is equipped with a heavy
duty powder coated steel, foam-backed
grille.

On axis SPL measured in far field and referenced to 1 meter by inverse square law. Average from 300 Hz to 16 kHz.
2
Calculated based on system sensitivity and continuous power handling.
3
IEC shaped pink noise, 6 dB crest factor, 100 hour duration.
4
AES standard 2 hour duration, with IEC system noise spectrum.
5
WRC for outdoor placement where the loudspeaker will be sheltered from direct exposure to the elements. WRX for
direct exposure or extreme environments, such as tropical or beach, or in areas with salt air, extreme high humidity or
rapid changes in temperatures. See WRC/WRX configuration sheet for details.
JBL continually engages in research related to product improvement. Changes introduced into existing products
without notice are a routine expression of that philosophy.
