The JBL AM7212/26 is a high-output, two-way loudspeaker engineered for professional sound reinforcement where wide horizontal coverage and significant acoustic power are required. This model integrates a potent 12-inch low-frequency driver with a high-performance 1.5-inch compression driver, delivering full-range audio with exceptional clarity and high sound pressure level capability. It is particularly suited for installations that demand broad dispersion to cover wide audience areas, such as in clubs, houses of worship, performing arts centers, and multipurpose halls. The speaker’s design focuses on providing consistent, intelligible sound across a large listening area while maintaining the rugged reliability needed for permanent installation in demanding environments.

A defining characteristic of this loudspeaker is its rotatable constant-directivity horn, which offers an expansive 120° by 60° dispersion pattern. This horn can be manually oriented to position the ultra-wide 120-degree coverage either horizontally for broad audience coverage or vertically for tall, narrow spaces, providing system designers with critical flexibility to tailor the sound field to the room’s geometry. The horn’s design ensures smooth, controlled coverage with uniform frequency response both on and off-axis, significantly reducing problematic reflections from side walls and ceilings. This results in improved speech intelligibility and musical clarity throughout the coverage zone, making it an effective tool for managing acoustics in challenging spaces.

Built for longevity, the enclosure is constructed from high-grade, void-free birch plywood and finished with a durable, textured coating to withstand the rigors of installation and use. It includes integrated, steel-reinforced rigging points that allow for secure flying or arraying of multiple cabinets. The internal passive crossover network utilizes high-quality components and incorporates protective circuitry to safeguard the transducers from overload. Combining high power handling, a versatile ultra-wide rotatable horn, and robust construction, the JBL AM7212/26 provides a powerful and adaptable audio solution for professional applications requiring both substantial output and exceptionally wide, controlled dispersion.
