Extraordinary clarity for speech, with extended frequency response for music. Advanced high-slope crossover network for constant coverage and smooth, natural midrange. 500 Watt power handling (average continuous pink noise) with high sensitivity provides high SPL capability. High-power passive crossover network. 52 Hz – 20 kHz frequency response. 300 Watt 70V/100V multi-tap (built-in transformer) or direct 8Ω low-impedance.

JBL AWC159 All-Weather Compact 2-Way Coaxial Loudspeaker with 15" LF (Black)

The AWC159 is a rugged, professionally engineered outdoor loudspeaker built for permanent installation in demanding environments. Its compact footprint and coaxial design deliver consistent coverage and high output from a single enclosure, making it ideal for venues, stadiums, and architectural installations where weather resistance and reliability are non-negotiable.

Design & Build Quality

Constructed from ABS plus fiberglass with heavy internal bracing, this speaker meets IP56 environmental protection standards and withstands sustained outdoor exposure. The 486 × 486 × 479 mm cabinet (20.6 kg) accepts standard barrier terminal wiring up to 12 AWG and mounts securely with included bracket hardware.

Audio Performance

The 380 mm woofer with Kevlar-reinforced cone pairs with a 38 mm compression driver in a coaxial configuration, producing 98 dB sensitivity and peak SPL of 131 dB at 1 meter. Selectable 70V/100V multi-tap transformer or direct 8Ω operation accommodates both distributed and dedicated amplifier systems, while the 1.5 kHz crossover ensures seamless driver integration across the 80 Hz–20 kHz response range.
