JBL AM5212/95 Two-way Full Range Loudspeaker
The JBL AM5212/95 is a compact yet powerful full-range speaker engineered for studio monitoring and control room applications where consistent coverage and transparent reproduction are essential. Its compact footprint and rotatable waveguide allow flexible positioning in spaces where traditional large-format systems won't fit, while maintaining the sonic authority expected from JBL's professional cinema lineage.
Audio Performance & Output Capability
This speaker delivers impressive peak output of 4000W with 1000W continuous power handling, reaching 132 dB SPL at 1 meter—sufficient for detailed monitoring in mid-sized control rooms and mixing environments. The 45 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response covers the full audible spectrum with a carefully tuned 1.4 kHz passive crossover that integrates the low and high-frequency drivers seamlessly for accurate mix translation.
Design & Driver Configuration
The system pairs a 12-inch (300 mm) JBL 262H-1 differential drive low-frequency driver with dual voice coil and dual magnetic gap technology for tight, articulate bass reproduction with a 1.5-inch (38 mm) exit, 1.5-inch (38 mm) voice-coil 2408H-1 compression driver for high-frequency clarity and detail. The rotatable progressive transition waveguide accommodates both vertical and horizontal mounting orientations, adapting to your control room's acoustic treatment and speaker placement strategy.
