The JBL AWC15LF all-weather compact low-frequency 15" speaker is designed for environments where reliable bass reinforcement is critical, even in challenging outdoor conditions. Built with a Kevlar-reinforced 15" woofer and a durable, paintable ABS enclosure, this speaker handles up to 500W of continuous power and produces accurate low frequencies down to 45Hz. The unit comes equipped with a multi-tap transformer for 70V/100V distributed audio or direct 8 ohm use. Stadiums, arenas, and water parks rely on this weather-resistant model for everything from crowd music to public announcements. The system's IP56 rating and tough mounting bracket allow for safe installation in places exposed to rain, humidity and salt air, all while maintaining high sound quality and reliability.
Kevlar-Reinforced Woofer Delivers Deep, Reliable Bass
The speaker's 15" low-frequency driver uses a Kevlar-reinforced cone and a 3" voice coil. Kevlar resists tearing and helps reduce distortion, even during loud peaks. The long-excursion design keeps the sound clear and focused at high volumes. This construction allows the unit to deliver powerful bass with minimal risk of damage, so outdoor venues get consistent, punchy low end for music and announcements.
Weather-Resistant IP56 Rating Handles Harsh Conditions
The enclosure achieves an IP56 rating, shielding the speaker from dust, heavy rain, and salt spray when aimed at least 5° downward. The paintable, braced ABS and fiberglass cabinet resists impacts and temperature swings. The steel grille, backed by foam and mesh, blocks water and debris while letting sound pass through. Installers can deploy this unit at pools, stadiums or racetracks, knowing the audio will keep performing in tough conditions.
Outdoor-Rated Connectivity Simplifies Installation
Barrier strip terminals in a recessed cup accept bare wire, spade lugs, or open-lug connectors up to 12 AWG. The included gland nut forms a water-tight seal for cables between 0.16" and 0.36" diameter. The 300W multi-tap transformer supports distributed audio setups, while secondary safety attachment points and a heavy-duty U-bracket ensure secure mounting on walls or poles. Technicians can set up the speaker quickly and keep connections dry and protected.
Durable Construction Extends Product Life
The enclosure uses thick ABS plastic reinforced with fiberglass, braced for strength. A zinc-rich, powder-coated steel grille prevents corrosion, even near saltwater or in humid climates. The three-layer grille assembly protects the woofer while allowing air flow. The U-bracket, also powder-coated and zinc-rich, provides stable mounting. Each component is selected for long-term reliability in demanding outdoor settings.
