AC2215/64 is a compact 2-way full­range loudspeaker system comprised of
one 380 mm (15 in) low frequency
driver and one 38 mm (1.5 in)
exit/25 mm (1 in) voice-coil compres­sion driver. The PT Progressive
Transition waveguide provides 60° by
40° coverage. High-slope passive
crossovers minimize band overlap and
well-controlled off-axis response
enhances arrayability.

The cabinet is fitted with M10
threaded suspension points. Optional
U-bracket is available for easy
installation.

AC2215/64 is part of JBL’s AE
Application Engineered Series, a
versatile family of loudspeakers for a
wide variety of fixed installation
applications.
