JBL AWC15LF All Weather Compact Subwoofer

The AWC15LF is a compact highly weather resistant loudspeaker for augmenting the low frequency capability of a sound system. AWC15LF is ideal for many applications, including sports facilities, racetracks, stadiums, fairgrounds, rodeos, skating rinks, themed entertainment venues, cruise ships, water parks, outdoor background music systems, swimming pools, and a wide variety of other outdoor and indoor venue types.

The AWC15LF utilizes a high-power, long-excursion 380 mm (15 in) low frequency driver with Kevlar-reinforced cone for reliability, well-damped surround for smoother frequency response, high temperature 75 mm (3 in) voice coil and a reduced distortion design through saturated-gap magnet geometry.

The paintable enclosure is constructed of thick ABS plus fiberglass and is heavily braced to maximize low-frequency performance. The corrosion-resistant zincrich extra-thick powder-coated steel grille is backed with open cell foam and tightweave mesh, providing a high level of protection against water incursion in harsh environments. The system is rated IP-56, per IEC529 when installed at minimum 5° down-tilt.

The AWC15LF is equipped with a 300W 70V/100V multi-tap transformer. Connection is made via outdoor-rated terminals in a recessed terminal cup. A protective terminal compartment cover is included, along with gland nut, which forms a water-tight seal with roundjacketed cable within the specified range of diameters.

A heavy-duty zinc-rich, thick powdercoated U-type mounting bracket in included.
