JBL PD595 15" 2-Way Full-Range with 90x50 Coverage

The JBL Electronics PD595 is a Precision Directivity™ loudspeaker designed for applications requiring high output capability with excellent pattern control. The PD595 can be utilized in music or speech systems where frequency extension to 80 Hz is adequate, or combined with subwoofers to create extended bandwidth fullrange systems. The 2031H 380 mm (15”) low frequency transducer features high sensitivity and low power compression for high, continuous SPL capability. It is horn-loaded for additional sensitivity and improved pattern control. The 2432H 38 mm (1.5”) exit, 75 mm (3”) voice coil high frequency compression driver utilizes a neodymium magnet and aluminum diaphragm to deliver clear high-frequency projection, extended frequency response, and low distortion at even the highest drive levels.

The system is equipped with a large format rotatable PT waveguide allowing the PD595 to be used in either the vertical or horizontal orientation. The loudspeaker can be operated in either biamplified or full passive mode. In either case, digital signal processing is required in order to achieve specified performance. Input connectivity is achieved via CE-compliant covered barrier strips, and the cabinet is fitted with twenty-two M10 threaded suspension points supporting a wide variety of installation approaches.
