control, low distortion at high SPL levels and
smooth frequency response.

䉴

Rotatable mid and high frequency wave­guides allow either horizontal or vertical
cabine t orientation.

䉴

Sophisticated, steep-slope passive crossover
network with switchable bi-amp/passive
crossover modes.

PD6200/43 is a Precision Directivity™
40° by 30° mid-high frequency loudspeaker
designed for applications requiring high output
capability with excellent pattern control.

The CMCD-82H cone midrange compression
driver consists of a driver/phasing plug assem­bly providing high output with low distortion.
CMCD-82H’s extended response allows for
smoother transition to the high frequency driver
and the smaller entrance diameter into the
waveguide provides for better pattern control.
The integral 200 mm (8 inch) driver features a
high power Differential Drive
design. The 2432H large format high frequency
compression driver utilizes a neodymium mag­net and aluminum diaphragm to deliver clear
and intelligible high frequency projection,
extended frequency response, and low distor­tion at even the highest drive levels.

Large PT Progressive Transition waveguides
achieve an optimum balance of extremely well
controlled coverage with low distortion, smooth
frequency response, and natural sound charac­ter. The waveguides are rotatable for cabinet
positioning in either horizontal or vertical orien­tation. A high-slope crossover network mini­mizes band overlap and the resulting well-con­trolled off-axis response enhances arrayability.

The loudspeaker can be operated in either bi­amplified or in full passive mode. Input connec­tors include both Speakon
covered barrier strip for hookup versatility. The
cabinet is fitted with twenty M10 threaded sus­pension points, supporting a wide variety of
installation approaches.

PD6200/43 is part of JBL’s broad lineup of
installed sound loudspeakers, complementing
the larger PD700 mid-high cabinets with a more
compact size and supplementing the smaller AE
Series cabinets with higher SPL capability and
larger horns for pattern control to a lower fre­quency.

JBL continually engages in research related to product improvement. Some materials, production methods and design
refinements 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 specifications unless otherwise stated.
