The JBL AM5215/26 is a high-output, two-way loudspeaker engineered to deliver powerful and articulate sound reinforcement for medium to large-scale permanent installation and portable applications. As a key model in JBL's Architectural Series, it is designed to meet the demands of venues requiring substantial sound pressure levels with broad, controlled coverage, such as performing arts centers, houses of worship, nightclubs, and large conference halls. The system is built around a high-performance 15-inch low-frequency driver that provides robust bass and midrange punch, coupled with a pure titanium compression driver for clear, detailed high frequencies. The defining feature is its asymmetrical, rotatable Constant Directivity horn, which offers a wide 120° by 60° dispersion pattern, allowing installers to orient the wider coverage angle either horizontally for expansive audience coverage or vertically for specific applications like front-fill, providing exceptional flexibility in tailoring the sound field to the room's geometry.

Constructed for professional durability, the enclosure is fabricated from rugged, void-free plywood and finished with a textured, black paint that resists scratches and wear. A robust, perforated steel grille backed by acoustically transparent foam protects the drivers from physical damage. The cabinet incorporates comprehensive rigging hardware, including multiple M10 threaded inserts, enabling secure and versatile mounting options for flying, wall-mounting, or stacking. Its high sensitivity and substantial power handling enable the AM5215/26 to produce very high sound pressure levels with low distortion, making it capable of serving as a primary main loudspeaker for full-range music and speech reinforcement. The coherent wavefront from the carefully aligned drivers and horn ensures consistent tonal balance across the designated coverage area.

The loudspeaker's internal crossover network is designed with high-quality components for optimal driver integration and includes protective circuitry to safeguard the transducers. The overall voicing is tuned for a balanced, articulate sound that remains clear and intelligible even at high volumes. The combination of a high-output 15-inch woofer, a wide and rotatable coverage horn, professional-grade components, and flexible mounting hardware establishes the JBL AM5215/26 as a versatile and reliable workhorse. It provides system designers with a powerful tool to deliver impactful, high-fidelity audio in a wide array of challenging acoustic environments where both output and coverage control are critical.
