Product Overview

The JBL AC15 is an ultra-compact 2-way install loudspeaker, sold as a pair, designed to deliver full-range output and even coverage from a visually discreet enclosure. With a 5.25-inch (135 mm) low-frequency transducer and a 1-inch dome tweeter on a 90 x 90 waveguide, it suits fixed commercial installations where space and sight lines are constrained. The compact cabinet mounts close to walls and ceilings, making it a practical under-balcony loudspeaker or surface-mount commercial loudspeaker for distributed coverage. As part of JBL’s AE Compact Series, the AC15 pairs with external amplification for a clean, low-profile installed system.

Product Description

This AC15 listing is a matched pair of passive loudspeakers, each using a 5.25-inch Symmetrical Field Geometry (SFG) low-frequency transducer with a copper-clad aluminum 1.5-inch voice coil and a 1-inch dome tweeter in a 90 x 90 waveguide for smooth power response. As a 5.25-inch 2-way install loudspeaker, each cabinet handles 150 W continuous (300 W program, 600 W peak, IEC) at a 16-ohm nominal impedance and reproduces a frequency response of 90 Hz to 18 kHz. The rugged multi-ply hardwood enclosure carries JBL’s textured DuraFlex finish and a foam-backed powder-coated steel grille, and works in both vertical and horizontal orientations for flexible placement. Dual Neutrik NL4 connectors plus screw terminals simplify wiring, while M8 suspension points and M6 OmniMount-type points support an optional U-bracket for under-balcony, column, or wall mounting. For higher output or a larger format, the 6.5-inch JBL AC16 loudspeaker shares the same AE Compact design language.
