The JBL PD6212/64 is a professional, high-output two-way horn-loaded loudspeaker engineered for precise, versatile sound reinforcement in demanding commercial and installed applications. This 12-inch system combines a robust low-frequency driver with a high-frequency compression driver integrated into a constant-directivity horn, providing high acoustic efficiency and controlled dispersion. The defining feature of this model is its 60° by 40° coverage pattern, offering a versatile, slightly asymmetrical dispersion that is highly effective for targeting sound to audience areas while managing vertical energy spill. This pattern makes it an excellent choice for a wide array of venues, including corporate auditoriums, performing arts centers, houses of worship, and large retail environments where a balance of wide horizontal coverage and controlled vertical dispersion is needed to ensure consistent intelligibility and musical detail across the listening area.

Performance is driven by the synergy between its transducer and horn-loaded design. The 12-inch woofer delivers solid mid-bass punch and low-frequency support, while the compression driver and horn handle the high frequencies with high efficiency and clarity. The horn-loaded configuration ensures controlled directivity, which helps minimize problematic room reflections and provides a more consistent listening experience across the coverage area. As a passive system, the PD6212/64 requires connection to an external amplifier and active crossover processing. This allows system designers to use external digital signal processors (DSP) to apply precise crossover points, equalization, and protective limiting, tailoring the speaker's performance to the specific acoustics of the venue and ensuring seamless integration with subwoofers and other system components.

Constructed for professional durability, the enclosure is built from durable, void-free plywood with extensive internal bracing and finished with a rugged, textured coating. The cabinet includes multiple integrated rigging points compatible with professional flying hardware, allowing it to be flown in arrays, mounted on walls or ceilings, or placed on stage. Its design balances performance with practical portability. The JBL PD6212/64 is engineered for audio consultants, rental companies, and system integrators who require a powerful, articulate loudspeaker with a predictable and versatile dispersion pattern to deliver pristine, consistent sound reinforcement for a broad spectrum of applications.
