e PD525S is a high power low frequency loudspeaker
comprised of two 380 mm (15 in) Dual Coil - Dual
Gap Dierential Drive®, VGC™ low frequency drivers
in a front-loaded, vented conguration. e trapezoidal
cabinet is tted with M10 threaded suspension points.
It is intended for use as a own high power low frequency
module used in conjunction with all full-range PD500
Series loudspeakers.
e PD525S will perform well in any application where
high output low-frequency is required.
Low frequency transducers are the 2275H 380 mm
(15 in) VGC Vented Gap Cooled drivers. ey deliver
excellent low frequency extension with minimal power
compression and low distortion plus high sensitivity and
power handling. Multiple vents assures minimal port
compression and low distortion at high output levels.
Standard nish is black DuraFlex™, with white available
as a no-cost option. Weather resistant and unpainted
versions are also available.

JBL continually engages in research related to product improvement. Some materials, production methods and design
renements are introduced into existing products without notice as a routine expression of that philosophy. For this reason,
any current JBL product may differ in some respect from its published description, but will always equal or exceed
the original design specications unless otherwise stated.
