Description
JBL AC115S-WH 15" Subwoofer, White
The AC115S-WH is a compact powered subwoofer engineered to anchor the low end of your live sound rig without consuming your truck bed. Its front-loaded vented design and modest footprint work equally well in installed venues, portable PA setups, and fixed installations where controlled bass is essential. The white finish integrates seamlessly into white interior environments.
Output & Performance
This unit delivers 120 dB SPL maximum output (126 dB peak) at 1 meter—muscle enough for medium-sized rooms and outdoor applications. The 400 W continuous power rating (800 W program, 1600 W peak) maintains clean, stable bass reproduction across the frequency range without distortion, and 94 dB system sensitivity means it responds dependably to moderate input levels without requiring extreme gain settings.
Design & Build
The enclosure uses 18 mm multi-ply hardwood plywood with a durable textured white paint finish that holds up under road use. The grille features powder-coated 1.5 mm perforated steel backed by acoustically transparent foam for protection. Connectivity comprises dual Neutrik NL4MP connectors plus covered barrier trip terminals, giving you wiring options for different rig configurations, and 12 M10 threaded suspension points support rigging for stage deployment or fixed installation.
