Description
JBL AC895-WH 8" 2-Way Full-Range System, White
The JBL AC895-WH is a compact yet capable full-range speaker engineered to deliver consistent sonic character and headroom across studio monitoring, small-venue recording, and portable session applications. Its rotatable design and professional-grade construction adapt to various studio placement scenarios, from desktop stands to wall-mounted isolation, without sacrificing acoustic integrity or flexibility in your recording chain.
Sonic Characteristics & Frequency Coverage
This system pairs an 8-inch woofer with a 1-inch compression driver to achieve a frequency response of 75 Hz to 18 kHz with extended range down to 70 Hz at −10 dB. The 90° by 50° coverage pattern via the PT Progressive Transition waveguide ensures balanced mid and high-frequency response in vertical orientation, while the highslope passive crossovers maintain clean driver integration across the frequency spectrum, supporting accurate mix translation and session work.
Enclosure Design & Installation Options
Built from 15 mm multi-ply hardwood plywood, the enclosure provides acoustic stability and durability across repeated setup and transport cycles in studio and portable recording environments. The cabinet includes M10 threaded suspension points and four threaded inserts on the back for MultiMount or similar mounting attachment, accommodating both fixed studio installations and mobile session deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is this speaker designed for, and what is it not?
The AC895-WH is built for live performance PA, small-to-mid venue systems, installation audio, and conferencing. It is not intended for home hi-fi listening or studio nearfield monitoring where proximity and flat response at close range are critical.
How does the mounting work, and can it be wall-mounted or pole-mounted?
The cabinet includes M10 threaded suspension points for pole mounting and four threaded inserts on the back for MultiMount or similar bracket attachment, supporting both temporary and permanent installation scenarios.
What is the frequency response and maximum output?
The AC895-WH covers 75 Hz to 18 kHz (70 Hz to 20 kHz at −10 dB) with a maximum SPL of 116 dB and peak SPL of 122 dB, handling up to 300W program power.
How does the waveguide coverage pattern work?
The rotatable PT Progressive Transition waveguide provides 90° by 50° coverage in vertical orientation, ensuring even sound distribution across the listening area and clean handoff between the 8-inch woofer and 1-inch compression driver via highslope passive crossovers.
Is this speaker built to handle touring and repeated setup/teardown?
Yes. The cabinet is constructed from 15 mm multi-ply hardwood plywood designed to withstand repeated deployment and transport, making it reliable for gigging and venue-to-venue work.
