About the JBL PD566-WH 15-inch Horn-Loaded Full-Range Loudspeaker with 60° x 60° Horn, White
The JBL PD566-WH is a professional, high-output, horn-loaded full-range loudspeaker distinguished by its white finish, making it suitable for both premium audio performance and aesthetic integration in architecturally sensitive environments. This loudspeaker is engineered for demanding sound reinforcement applications where long-throw projection, high intelligibility, and visual discretion are critical. Its design centers on a 15-inch low-frequency driver seamlessly integrated with a constant-directivity horn that houses a high-frequency compression driver. This horn-loaded configuration provides exceptional acoustic efficiency and controlled dispersion, enabling the system to deliver significant sound pressure levels with outstanding clarity over considerable distances. It is an ideal choice for fixed installations in venues such as performing arts centers, houses of worship, high-end retail spaces, and corporate atriums where audio performance must be matched by a visually unobtrusive or specifically colored appearance.
The loudspeaker's performance is characterized by its precise 60° by 60° square coverage pattern, which ensures uniform sound distribution throughout the designated audience area, minimizing variances in volume and frequency response. This controlled directivity, combined with high power handling and sensitivity, results in exceptional articulation for both music and speech. The white, textured finish allows the cabinet to blend with light-colored ceilings and walls or to be treated as a deliberate design element. The enclosure is constructed from durable, void-free plywood and finished to professional standards, ensuring longevity in commercial environments. Multiple integrated rigging points provide safe and versatile options for flying the cabinet or mounting it on a stand.
As a passive system, the PD566-WH requires connection to an external amplifier and system processor. Its design is optimized for use with high-quality external signal processing, including active crossovers, equalization, and limiting, to fully realize its potential and ensure driver protection. The combination of its high-efficiency horn-loaded design, consistent coverage pattern, and specialized white finish positions the PD566-WH as a professional-grade solution for sound engineers and architects who require a powerful, reliable loudspeaker that delivers pristine, controlled sound while meeting specific aesthetic requirements for a clean, integrated look.
