JBL AW266 High Power 2-Way All Weather Loudspeaker with 1 x 12 LF

JBL AW266 High Power 2-Way All Weather Loudspeaker with 1 x 12 LF

The AW266 is built to capture and reproduce audio with driving, punchy bass response paired with crystal-clear high-frequency articulation that maintains clarity and definition in any recording or outdoor monitoring context. The 12-inch low-frequency driver produces rich, resonant tones with responsive character suitable for tracking and mixing work, while the compression driver ensures every detail in your productions remains defined and present. This all-weather capable monitor brings a forgiving, full-bodied character to studio monitoring, remote recording sessions, and location work, with a natural sonic signature that translates faithfully across your productions.

Recording & Output Characteristics

Maximum SPL reaches 126 dB (132 dB peak) with 98 dB sensitivity at 1W/1m, delivering substantial acoustic coverage across the 40 Hz – 20 kHz frequency range with a 60° × 60° waveguide pattern. The 1.1 kHz crossover frequency seamlessly integrates the 2262H 12-inch dual voice coil driver with the 2432H compression driver, ensuring coherent, articulate sound reproduction for accurate monitoring and mixing decisions across the entire spectrum.

Construction & Studio Durability

The multilayer glass composite enclosure is heavily braced to withstand rigorous studio and location recording demands, while the 14-gauge stainless steel grille backed with open cell foam and mesh provides durability without compromising acoustic transparency for honest monitoring. Flexible mounting via M10 and M6 suspension points allows vertical or horizontal orientation, accommodating diverse studio setups and remote recording scenarios with included stabilization hardware and rear safety anchor.
