The AM5212/00 is a medium power,
lightweight, 2-way, full-range loudspeaker
system comprised of the JBL Differential
Drive dual voice coil and dual magnetic
gap 262H-1 300 mm (12 in) low
frequency driver and 2408H-1 highfrequency 38 mm (1.5 in) exit, 38 mm
(1.5 in) voice-coil compression driver.
The large format Progressive Transition
waveguide provides excellent 100° x 100°
coverage. The waveguide is rotatable
so the loudspeaker system can be used
in either the vertical or horizontal
orientation. High-slope passive networks
minimize band overlap. Well-controlled
off-axis response enhances arrayability.
The enclosure is constructed of
multi-ply birch coated in JBL’s rugged
DuraFlex™ finish and is heavily braced
to maximize low-frequency performance.
The trapezoid enclosure is fitted with
fifteen M10 threaded attachment points
and utilizes a 14-gauge steel grille
internally lined with acoustically
transparent foam to provide additional
driver protection and give a very
professional appearance.
The AM5212/00 is part of JBL’s AE
Series, a versatile family of loudspeakers
intended for a wide variety of applications.
