JBL AW266 High Power 2-Way All Weather Loudspeaker with 1 x 12 LF

JBL AW266 High Power 2-Way All Weather Loudspeaker with 1 x 12 LF

The AW266 delivers driving, punchy bass response paired with crystal-clear high-frequency articulation that cuts through any outdoor environment with authority. The 12-inch low-frequency driver produces rich, resonant tones that feel responsive and musical, while the compression driver ensures every nuance in your mix remains defined and present. This all-weather workhorse brings a forgiving, full-bodied character to applications ranging from live music and speech to permanent installations, with a natural sonic signature that translates faithfully to the audience.

Audio Performance & Output

Maximum SPL reaches 126 dB (132 dB peak) with 98 dB sensitivity at 1W/1m, delivering substantial coverage across the 40 Hz – 20 kHz frequency range with a 60° × 60° waveguide pattern. The 1.1 kHz crossover frequency seamlessly integrates the 2262H 12-inch dual voice coil driver with the 2432H compression driver, ensuring coherent, articulate sound reproduction across the entire spectrum.

Design & Build Quality

The multilayer glass composite enclosure is heavily braced to withstand demanding outdoor conditions, while the 14-gauge stainless steel grille backed with open cell foam and mesh provides durability without compromising acoustic transparency. Flexible mounting via M10 and M6 suspension points allows vertical or horizontal orientation, accommodating diverse installation scenarios with included stabilization hardware and rear safety anchor.
