JBL AM7212/64 Two-way Full Range Loudspeaker

The AM7212/64 is a compact yet powerful two-way system built for consistent, predictable coverage in mid-sized venues and installations. Its rotatable 60° × 40° waveguide and trapezoidal cabinet design deliver controlled directivity with minimal boundary interaction, making it equally at home in live sound reinforcement, installed systems, or portable touring rigs.

Audio Performance & Coverage

This system operates across a 36 Hz–20 kHz frequency range (−10 dB) with a usable response of 42 Hz–18 kHz (±3 dB), covering the full spectrum needed for speech and music reproduction. The 60° × 40° rotatable waveguide with a directivity index of 12.3 dB ensures tight, predictable pattern control that scales well across multiple-speaker deployments and reduces off-axis coloration.

Power, SPL & Transducer Design

Maximum continuous SPL reaches 123 dB (129 dB peak) in passive mode with a system sensitivity of 95 dB SPL at 1W/1m, delivering serious output without external amplification. The low-frequency section uses a 2262H 300 mm (12 in) driver with JBL Differential Drive dual voice coil and dual magnetic gap, paired with a 2432H compression driver (38 mm exit, 75 mm voice coil) and a 1.8 kHz passive crossover for clean, articulate midrange integration.
