AM7315/64 is a high power 3-way
full-range loudspeaker system comprise d
of one 380 mm (15 in) Differential
Drive® low frequenc y driver, one 200
mm (8 in) CMCD Cone Midrange
Compression Driver, and one 38 mm
(1.5 in) exit/75 mm (3 in) voice-coil HF
compression driver. The multi-band PT
Progressive Transition mid-high frequency
waveguide provide s well-controlled 60°
by 40° coverage and is rotatable for
cabinet positioning in either horizontal or
vertica l orientation. High-slope crossovers
minimize band overlap and well-controlled
off-axis response enhances arrayability.
The cabinet is fitted with M10 threade d
suspension points. Pre-engineere d array
bracketry is available.
AM7315/64 is part of JBL’s AE
Application Engineered Series, a versatil e
family of loudspeakers for a wide variety of
fixed installation application s.
