The JBL AM5212/95 is a professional, high-output two-way loudspeaker designed for reliable, high-fidelity sound reinforcement in a wide range of permanent installation and portable applications. As a core component of JBL's Architectural Series, it is engineered to deliver robust audio performance with a focus on durability and flexible coverage. The system centers on a high-efficiency 12-inch low-frequency driver paired with a precision-compression driver, both leveraging JBL's advanced transducer technologies for clear, powerful sound with low distortion. A defining feature is its asymmetrical, rotatable Constant Directivity horn, which provides a 90° by 50° coverage pattern. This design allows installers to physically rotate the horn to orient the wider dispersion angle either horizontally or vertically, enabling precise tailoring of the sound field to the acoustics of the venue, whether for wide audience coverage in a conference room or longer throw in a narrow hallway.

Construction and design prioritize longevity and environmental resilience, making the speaker suitable for both indoor and protected outdoor installations. The enclosure is built from rugged, UV-resistant ABS composite with an integrated steel grille, protecting the drivers from physical damage and environmental factors. The cabinet design incorporates multiple rigging points using industry-standard M10 threaded inserts, offering flexible mounting options for flown, wall-mounted, or pole-mounted deployments via an optional bracket. An integrated multi-tap transformer with selectable power taps (70V/100V) provides seamless integration into distributed commercial sound systems, while the direct low-impedance input ensures maximum fidelity for performance-oriented applications.

The acoustic performance of the AM5212/95 is characterized by high sensitivity and impressive maximum SPL capability, allowing it to produce substantial sound pressure levels with minimal amplifier power—a key consideration for efficient system design. Its voicing is tailored for speech clarity and musical reproduction, making it equally adept for background music, paging, and live program material. The combination of professional-grade components, versatile mounting hardware, and dual-mode operation (constant voltage or low impedance) establishes this loudspeaker as a highly adaptable and dependable solution for contractors and system designers working on commercial projects such as restaurants, retail spaces, hotels, and houses of worship where consistent, high-quality audio coverage is required.
