Description
The black JBL AWC82 is a single all-weather passive coaxial loudspeaker designed for high-output, full-range sound reinforcement in various indoor and outdoor applications such as sports facilities, stadiums, fairgrounds, cruise ships, and background music/paging systems.
Capable of up to 250W long-term power handling, it incorporates an 8″ Kevlar-reinforced woofer and a 1″ fluid-cooled high-frequency driver to produce a high maximum peak SPL of 124 dB and a wide frequency response of 80 Hz to 20 kHz (-10 dB). The coaxial speaker configuration yields a 120 by 120° dispersion pattern for consistent coverage.
The paintable ABS enclosure boasts an IP56 rating for effective weather resistance and a sturdy steel grille backed with open-cell foam for additional protection. An integrated multi-tap transformer—configurable via a rear-panel tap selector—allows operation in 70/100V systems or 8-ohm low-impedance setups. A color-matched U-bracket is included for ease of installation.
