JBL AM7315/64 3-WAY Full-range Loudspeaker Sys
Description
JBL AM7315/64 3-Way Full-Range Loudspeaker System
The JBL AM7315/64 is a professional-grade three-way loudspeaker engineered for touring, installed sound, and live reinforcement applications where consistent coverage and high output are non-negotiable. This system delivers controlled directivity with switchable tri-amp and bi-amp modes, adapting efficiently to different venues and acoustic conditions. Built for the road and the stage, it combines substantial power handling with precise frequency management across the full spectrum.
Acoustic Performance & Coverage
The system achieves a frequency response of ±3 dB from 45 Hz to 18 kHz, with extended reach down to 38 Hz at –10 dB, covering the full audible spectrum with minimal coloration. Its 60° × 40° rotatable waveguide with a directivity factor of 20 (13 dB directivity index) provides focused, controlled dispersion that minimizes room reflections and reduces feedback risk in live settings, while maximum SPL ratings reach 135 dB continuous average in the high-frequency range, delivering the impact needed for large-scale venues and demanding touring situations.
Driver Configuration & Power Handling
The three-way design employs a 380 mm (15-inch) Differential Drive low-frequency driver, 200 mm (8-inch) CMCD cone midrange compression driver, and 38 mm (1.5-inch) exit compression driver with a 75 mm voice coil, each engineered for maximum efficiency and road durability. Power specifications are substantial: 1000 W (4000 W peak) for low frequencies, 350 W (1400 W peak) for midrange, and 100 W (400 W peak) for high frequencies, with switchable tri-amp/bi-amp crossover modes at 300 Hz and 2.3 kHz for flexible system integration and reliable operation across different setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does tri-amp/bi-amp switchable mode mean?
The AM7315/64 can operate in either tri-amp mode (separate amplifiers for lows, mids, and highs with crossovers at 300 Hz and 2.3 kHz) or bi-amp mode (two amps handling frequency bands differently), allowing you to optimize amplifier layout and crossover strategy for your specific venue and amplifier setup.
Is this suitable for outdoor festivals and touring?
Yes. The system meets Mil-Std 810 environmental standards and IP-x3 rating per IEC 529 for outdoor durability, with M10 threaded suspension points for flying or permanent mounting, making it road-hardened and venue-ready.
What kind of maximum SPL does it produce?
The midrange and high-frequency sections deliver 135 dB SPL continuous (141 dB peak), while the low-frequency driver reaches 127 dB SPL continuous (133 dB peak), enabling high-impact reinforcement in large halls, festivals, and outdoor venues.
How much space does the AM7315/64 take up?
In vertical orientation, it measures 967 × 561 × 657 mm (38.1 × 22.1 × 25.9 inches), with M10 flying points for suspension or ground stacking in touring or installed configurations.
Will this color my sound or add room reflections?
The 60° × 40° rotatable waveguide with a directivity factor of 20 (13 dB directivity index) provides focused, controlled dispersion that minimizes room reflections and coloration, delivering precise frequency management across the full spectrum with ±3 dB consistency from 45 Hz to 18 kHz.
