JBL AW566 15" Hi-Power All-Weather Loudspeaker, 60×60, Grey
The AW566 is a workhorse two-way system built for outdoor venues where reliable, high-output coverage through changing conditions is non-negotiable. Its stainless steel construction and composite enclosure stand up to demanding environmental exposure while delivering articulate, controlled sound across a 60° × 60° coverage pattern. This speaker proves itself in stadium seating, amphitheaters, and commercial outdoor installations where consistent performance matters.
Design & Build Quality
The enclosure uses multilayer glass composite with extensive internal bracing, engineered to survive UV exposure, temperature swings, and moisture without degradation. A 14-gauge stainless steel grille backed with open-cell foam and stainless steel mesh protects the drivers while minimizing acoustic coloration, and the included heavy-duty stainless steel U-type mounting bracket enables secure installation in either vertical or horizontal orientation.
Audio Performance
The JBL 2265H-1 15-inch low-frequency driver features a dual voice coil and dual magnetic gap design for extended throw and output capability, paired with a JBL 2432H compression driver for articulate high-frequency reproduction. The built-in 400W 70/100V transformer provides flexible line-level integration, while the rotatable 60° × 60° waveguide ensures consistent directional coverage across the listening plane.
