ASB6112

The JBL ASB6112 is a compact, high-power passive subwoofer that adds low-frequency weight to an install or live rig without the footprint of an 18 in cabinet. Inside is JBL's 2263H 12 in transducer, a dual voice coil, dual gap neodymium woofer with a heavy-duty cone built for long service life under continuous load.

Power handling is 1000 W continuous pink noise with 4000 W peak capacity at the transducer, and 700 W continuous with 2800 W peak as a rated system over 100 hours, into an 8 ohm nominal load. Frequency range runs 35 Hz to 1 kHz at -10 dB, with response of 43 Hz to 1 kHz at plus or minus 3 dB. Sensitivity of 96 dB from 40 Hz to 300 Hz yields 126 dB continuous average output at 1 m and 132 dB peak, so a single cabinet carries a club floor or a mid-size worship room.

A large vent area keeps distortion low at high output rather than compressing when the room gets loud, and the FIR tuning set matches the phase profile of the full-range AE Series models, so crossing over to tops does not create a hole or a lobe at the transition.

The rectangular enclosure is 16 mm exterior-grade 11-ply birch plywood with heavy internal bracing and a black DuraFlex finish, protected by a 14-gauge steel grille lined with acoustically transparent foam. Sixteen M10 attachment points, four on the top, four on the bottom, and four on each side, support ground-stacked or flown arrays. The cabinet measures 16.0 x 14.5 x 19.0 in and weighs 36.0 lb.
