JBL AC566-WH 15" 2-Way Full-Range Loudspeaker System
Finish: WHITE (AC566-WH). JBL publishes photos of the black version only; the pictures show the same product in black. This listing is the white finish.
The AC566-WH is a compact, versatile full-range studio monitor and reinforcement speaker engineered for control room, project studio, and live tracking environments. Its white textured finish and lightweight design integrate seamlessly into recording spaces, while dual Neutrik connectors and threaded suspension points support flexible mounting for desktop, stand, or wall-mounted placement in any session setup.
Audio Performance
This system delivers a maximum SPL of 122 dB at 1 meter (128 dB peak) with a nominal sensitivity of 98 dB (1W @ 1m), enabling efficient amplifier coupling and headroom-friendly gain structure in the control chain. The 75 Hz to 18 kHz frequency response (±3dB) captures articulate midrange clarity and extended high-frequency detail essential for mixing and mastering, while the 60° × 60° coverage pattern in both vertical and horizontal planes establishes a consistent sweet spot and predictable off-axis behavior for accurate monitoring positions.
Design & Build
The cabinet features robust 0.59" enclosure construction with a durable white textured finish, supported by M10 threaded suspension points and four back-panel threaded inserts for MultiMount attachment compatibility. The high-slope passive crossover at 1.5 kHz maintains phase coherence and minimizes tonal coloration across the critical midrange vocal and instrument band, while the 15" low-frequency driver and 25 mm compression driver deliver focused, controlled bass integration and articulate treble definition for transparent recording monitoring and mixing.
Key Features
- 15" (384 mm) low-frequency driver with 25 mm (1") exit compression driver
- Frequency response ±3dB: 75 Hz to 18 kHz
- Frequency range -10dB: 60 Hz to 20 kHz
- Maximum SPL: 122 dB @ 1m (128 dB peak)
- Nominal sensitivity: 98 dB (1W @ 1m)
- 8 Ohm impedance with 250W/500W/1000W power capacity (Continuous/Program/Peak)
- System power rating (AES): 350W (1400W peak) over 2 hours
- 60° × 60° coverage pattern (vertical and horizontal)
- High-slope passive crossover at 1.5 kHz with minimal band overlap
- Dual Neutrik NL4MP connectors and screw terminal connectivity
- M10 threaded suspension points with MultiMount-compatible back inserts
- White textured finish with 0.59" cabinet construction
The AC566-WH combines full-range monitoring accuracy with straightforward integration, making it an effective choice for home studios, project rooms, tracking spaces, and any scenario requiring dependable, phase-coherent sound reproduction for professional recording and mixing work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of venues and applications is the AC566-WH designed for?
The AC566-WH is built for fixed installations, portable PA rigs, gigging, and general sound reinforcement across small-to-medium venues. Its lightweight design and suspension points make it equally at home as a permanent install or as part of a portable rig.
What are the key specs that affect how loud and even the sound will be?
The AC566-WH delivers 122 dB SPL at 1 meter (128 dB peak) with 98 dB nominal sensitivity, meaning it uses amplifier power efficiently. Its 60° × 60° coverage pattern in both axes keeps response consistent throughout the listening area, and the high-slope passive crossover at 1.5 kHz minimizes overlap between the 15" woofer and 25 mm compression driver.
How is the white finish different from the black version, and is it durable?
The AC566-WH comes in white instead of the standard black color; all audio performance and specifications are identical. The finish is a durable white textured coating applied to a 0.59" enclosure construction, suitable for both permanent and mobile use.
What mounting and connection options does it offer?
The AC566-WH includes M10 threaded suspension points for pole mounting, four threaded back inserts for MultiMount compatibility, and dual Neutrik NL4MP connectors plus screw terminals for amplifier connection, providing flexibility for different installation scenarios.
How does the AC566-WH compare to models like the EV ZLX-15P or Yamaha DXR15?
The AC566-WH delivers comparable full-range performance and SPL output in the same category as the EV ZLX-15P and Yamaha DXR15; the choice often comes down to venue size, coverage pattern needs, and your existing amplifier setup. All three are industry-standard 15" systems trusted for gigging and installations.
