JBL AW295 High Power 2-Way All Weather Loudspeaker with 1 x 12 LF & Rotatable Horn
The AW295 is built for gigging musicians and sound engineers who need a speaker that cuts through outdoor environments with commanding authority and crystal-clear projection. This all-weather system pairs a punchy 12-inch woofer with a rotatable horn that adapts to your venue—from festival mainstages to permanent installations—giving you real control over how your sound travels and covers the room. The natural, articulate response across the frequency spectrum makes this speaker equally capable reinforcing live rock, funk, reggae, or speech—a reliable workhorse that delivers honest, no-nonsense character night after night.
Audio Performance & Coverage
The AW295 produces 126 dB-SPL continuous average output (132 dB peak) with a system sensitivity of 98 dB SPL at 1W/1m, projecting across 43 Hz – 20 kHz frequency range (±3 dB: 53 Hz – 18 kHz). The 90° x 50° coverage pattern with rotatable waveguide gives you the flexibility to dial in tight, focused highs for clarity or rotate to spread your sound wide across a larger audience depending on your stage setup and room.
Design & Build Quality
Heavy-duty multilayer glass composite enclosure construction with extensive internal bracing stands up to outdoor weather exposure rated IP56 per IEC529. A 16-gauge stainless steel grille backed with open cell foam and stainless steel mesh protects the drivers while maintaining acoustic transparency, and the included U-bracket suspension hardware with M10 mounting points enables quick rigging for both temporary gigs and permanent installations without fuss.
