About the JBL PD6322/64 Dual 12-inch 3-Way Horn-Loaded Speaker with 60° x 40° Horn
The JBL PD6322/64 is a professional, high-output three-way horn-loaded loudspeaker system designed for demanding sound reinforcement applications where exceptional power, clarity, and controlled dispersion are required. This dual 12-inch, three-way design represents a significant step in complexity and performance, incorporating separate transducers optimized for specific frequency bands: dual 12-inch drivers handle the low frequencies, a dedicated midrange compression driver covers the critical vocal range, and a high-frequency compression driver reproduces the upper registers. All drivers are integrated via an advanced, multi-element horn structure that provides precise 60° by 40° coverage, ensuring uniform sound distribution and exceptional intelligibility over long throws. This makes the system ideal for large fixed installations such as major performing arts centers, concert halls, large houses of worship, and touring-grade sound reinforcement for high-level events.
The system's three-way, horn-loaded architecture offers several key advantages. By dividing the audio spectrum among specialized drivers, each operates within its optimal range, reducing distortion and improving overall dynamic capability and headroom. The sophisticated horn design ensures coherent wavefront generation from the multiple drivers, maintaining precise phase relationships and controlled directivity across a wide bandwidth. This results in a powerful, articulate sound with precise imaging and minimal coloration, capable of delivering both impactful music reproduction and crystal-clear speech reinforcement at very high sound pressure levels. As a passive system, it requires external amplification and active crossover processing, allowing system designers to use high-quality digital signal processors (DSP) to fine-tune the system's response, apply corrective equalization, and implement protective limiting tailored to the specific venue and application.
Constructed for professional rigor, the enclosure is built from durable, void-free plywood with extensive internal bracing and finished with a rugged, textured coating. The cabinet includes comprehensive integrated rigging points compatible with professional flying hardware, allowing it to be flown in arrays for optimal audience coverage or ground-stacked. Its substantial size and weight reflect its performance capabilities, necessitating professional handling and installation. The JBL PD6322/64 is engineered for audio professionals and system integrators who require a premium, high-power loudspeaker solution capable of delivering pristine, controlled, and immensely powerful sound reinforcement for the most challenging large-scale applications.
