JBL AWC15LF-BK 15" Black Indoor/Outdoor 70V Surface Mount Commercial Subwoofer

The JBL AWC15LF-BK is a compact, highly weather-resistant subwoofer that adds low-frequency support to an outdoor or indoor system already running full-range speakers. A 380 mm (15 in) long-throw woofer with a Kevlar-reinforced, weather-treated cone and 75 mm (3 in) voice coil handles 500 W of continuous pink noise over 2 hours and 300 W over 100 hours, reaching down to 45 Hz at -10 dB with response of 70 Hz to 1.2 kHz at plus or minus 3 dB.

Most outdoor systems thin out in the low end because the cabinets are small and the space is open. This one restores weight to music playback at a pool deck, a beer garden, or a stadium concourse without pushing the satellites past their limits. Sensitivity of 94 dB from 80 Hz to 300 Hz gives 121 dB maximum SPL at 1 m in direct 8 ohm mode, or 119 dB on the 300W tap.

Wiring follows the rest of the AWC line: a multi-tap transformer offers 70V taps at 300W, 150W, 75W, and 38W, or direct 8 ohm low-impedance operation on a dedicated amplifier channel.

Weather protection is IP56 per IEC529 at a minimum 5 degree downward aiming angle, and the cabinet exceeds Mil Spec 810 for humidity, salt spray, temperature, and UV, plus 336 hours of ASTM G85 acid-air and salt-spray testing. The enclosure is heavily braced ABS with glass, the grille is corrosion-resistant powder coated steel with foam and poly mesh backing, and the sealed terminal compartment uses a gland nut sized for round-jacketed cable. A color-matched steel U-bracket is included. The cabinet measures 19.1 x 19.1 x 18.8 in and weighs 44.5 lb.
