Description
JBL AM5212/00-WH Two-Way Full Range Loudspeaker (White)
The AM5212/00-WH is a professional-grade loudspeaker engineered for consistent, controlled coverage in mid-sized venues and installations. Its trapezoid enclosure and rotatable waveguide offer flexible deployment options, while the combination of a 12-inch woofer and compression driver delivers balanced output across the full frequency spectrum with minimal coloration.
Sonic Performance & Coverage
This speaker reproduces audio from 43 Hz to 20 kHz, capturing the full range of musical and speech content with clarity and extension. The PT Progressive Transition waveguide maintains tight 100° × 100° coverage throughout the frequency range, ensuring even sound distribution without dead zones or hot spots in the listening area.
Design & Construction
Built from multiply birch with DuraFlex finish, the enclosure resists warping and environmental stress while maintaining a professional appearance across touring seasons and permanent installations. The rotatable waveguide allows deployment in either vertical or horizontal orientation, and M10 threaded attachment points accommodate permanent or semi-permanent rigging solutions. A 14-gauge steel grille protects the drivers while remaining acoustically transparent.
