About the JBL AM7212/66 High Power 12-inch 2-Way Loudspeaker with 60° x 60° Rotatable Horn
The JBL AM7212/66 stands as a high-power, professional-grade two-way loudspeaker engineered for demanding sound reinforcement applications where output, reliability, and precise coverage control are paramount. As part of JBL's esteemed Performance Series, it is built to serve as a primary speaker for main reinforcement or stage monitoring in live performance venues, houses of worship, theaters, and upscale installed sound projects. Its core acoustic design pairs a rugged 12-inch low-frequency transducer with a pure titanium diaphragm compression driver, both engineered for high power handling and exceptional transient response. The system is defined by its symmetrical, rotatable Constant Directivity horn, offering a consistent 60° by 60° coverage pattern. This allows installers and sound engineers to physically rotate the horn to correctly align the pattern for optimal audience coverage, whether the cabinet is oriented vertically or horizontally, ensuring even SPL distribution and minimizing problematic reflections.
Constructed for the rigors of professional touring and permanent installation, the enclosure is crafted from rugged, void-free plywood with a textured, black textured paint finish and a sturdy perforated steel grille backed by acoustically transparent foam. The cabinet incorporates extensive rigging hardware, including twelve M10 threaded inserts arranged in a pattern compatible with industry-standard flying frames and a sturdy pole-mount socket, providing exceptional flexibility for flown, stacked, or pole-mounted deployments. Its high sensitivity and substantial power handling enable the AM7212/66 to produce very high sound pressure levels with clarity and low distortion, making it capable of delivering the impactful, dynamic sound required for music reinforcement across a wide range of genres, from vocals and speech to full-range program material.
The loudspeaker's crossover network utilizes high-quality components and is designed with protective circuitry to safeguard the drivers from inadvertent overload. The voicing is meticulously tuned to deliver a balanced, articulate sound that remains clear even at high volumes, with a frequency response tailored for accurate reproduction. The combination of roadworthy construction, professional-grade components, versatile mounting options, and symmetrical pattern control makes the JBL AM7212/66 a trusted and highly capable tool for audio professionals who require a loudspeaker that delivers consistent, powerful, and intelligible sound night after night in a variety of challenging acoustic environments.
