Description
JBL AW295 High Power 2-Way All Weather Loudspeaker with 1 x 12 LF & Rotatable Horn
The AW295 is a studio-grade reference monitor redesigned for outdoor tracking and live recording sessions. This all-weather system combines a punchy 12-inch woofer with a rotatable horn that lets you optimize on-axis response and coverage angles for capturing clean, articulate recordings in field or semi-permanent studio setups. The natural, transparent response across the frequency spectrum makes this monitor equally effective for monitoring live rock, funk, reggae, or spoken word—a versatile tool that captures honest, uncolored character in your recordings and mixes.
Audio Performance & Coverage
The AW295 delivers 126 dB-SPL continuous average output (132 dB peak) with a system sensitivity of 98 dB SPL at 1W/1m, maintaining consistent response across 43 Hz – 20 kHz frequency range (±3 dB: 53 Hz – 18 kHz). The 90° x 50° coverage pattern with rotatable waveguide lets you position the speaker for optimal acoustic alignment with your recording space—rotate to focus highs for precision or spread wide to integrate bass and midrange coherently across your monitoring environment.
Design & Build Quality
Heavy-duty multilayer glass composite enclosure construction with extensive internal bracing withstands outdoor and unpredictable recording environments, rated IP56 per IEC529. A 16-gauge stainless steel grille backed with open cell foam and stainless steel mesh protects the drivers while maintaining acoustic transparency, and the included U-bracket suspension hardware with M10 mounting points enables quick repositioning for mobile sessions and permanent studio installations.

At a Glance
The JBL AW295 is a professional all-weather 2-way speaker designed for outdoor broadcast, live-event capture, and field recording rather than studio mixing. Home producers and recording engineers would not typically use this—it's engineered for reinforcement and location sound capture in open environments where weather resistance and maximum output matter far more than studio acoustics or console integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this speaker suitable for outdoor festivals and permanent installations?
The AW295 combines IP56 weather-sealed construction with heavy-duty multilayer glass composite bracing, stainless steel grille, and comprehensive mounting hardware (M10 and M6 attachment points) for both temporary rigging and permanent installation. It delivers 126 dB continuous and 132 dB peak SPL to cut through outdoor noise and weather.
Can the horn orientation be adjusted for different venue sizes?
Yes. The rotatable waveguide lets you switch between 90° x 50° coverage patterns in vertical or horizontal orientation, so you can dial in tight, focused highs for smaller areas or spread sound wider across larger audiences depending on your setup.
What amplifier power and impedance options does it support?
The AW295 has a 500 W long-term IEC power rating and 2000 W peak handling, with selectable 70V or 100V transformer taps at 400W, 200W, or 100W settings. This flexibility lets you integrate it into distributed-voltage line-array systems or direct-drive setups.
What frequency range and tonal character does it deliver across different genres?
The speaker covers 53 Hz – 18 kHz (±3 dB) with a punchy low-mid response, crystal-clear highs, and articulate across-spectrum character that handles live rock, funk, reggae, and speech reinforcement with honest, full-bodied presence without coloration.
What is included for mounting and installation?
The AW295 includes U-bracket suspension hardware with M10 mounting points, plus M6 aiming-stabilization points and an M10 rear safety point. Barrier strip terminals accept up to 10 AWG wire or spade lugs for field connections.
