Description
JBL AC115S-WH 15" Subwoofer, White
The AC115S-WH is a compact powered subwoofer engineered to anchor bass tracking and mixing sessions with deep, controlled low-end extension without consuming valuable studio floor space. Its front-loaded vented design and modest footprint make it ideal for home studios, project rooms, and mixing suites where accurate low-frequency capture and reproduction matter but physical real estate is limited. The white finish integrates seamlessly into studio environments with light-colored aesthetics.
Output & Performance
This unit produces 120 dB SPL maximum output (126 dB peak) at 1 meter—sufficient for full-range monitoring in medium-sized tracking and mixing rooms. The 400 W continuous power rating (800 W program, 1600 W peak) ensures stable, undistorted bass reproduction across the specified frequency range, while 94 dB system sensitivity means the subwoofer responds efficiently to modest input levels from mixing consoles and audio interfaces.
Design & Build
Construction uses 18 mm multi-ply hardwood plywood with a durable textured white paint finish, and the grille features powder-coated 1.5 mm perforated steel backed by acoustically transparent foam. Connectivity includes dual Neutrik NL4MP connectors plus covered barrier trip terminals, offering flexible integration into studio monitoring chains and multiamplified setups, and 12 M10 threaded suspension points support isolation mounting and studio furniture integration.
