JBL AW526-LS 15" HI-PWR ALL-WEATHER SPK W EN54-24, 120x60, GREY

JBL AW526-LS 15" High-Power All-Weather Speaker with EN54-24 Compliance

The AW526-LS is a robust all-weather loudspeaker engineered for outdoor installations and life safety applications where reliability and consistent coverage are non-negotiable. Its hand-laminated fiberglass construction and rotatable waveguide make it equally at home mounted horizontally or vertically, adapting to venue geometry without compromise. This is purpose-built infrastructure audio—not a compromise solution, but a speaker designed from the ground up for demanding environmental conditions.

Design & Build Quality

The weather-resistant, all-fiberglass enclosure with gray gelcoat withstands UV exposure, temperature swings, and moisture without degradation. The rotatable waveguide allows vertical or horizontal mounting, and the included U-bracket with M10 fasteners plus stabilization aiming mounts (M6) provide secure, adjustable installation in fixed installations. This construction prioritizes durability over portability—it's built to stay put and perform year after year.

Audio Performance & Coverage

The 2-way system combines a 380mm (15") low-frequency driver with a 38mm compression driver featuring JBL's Differential Drive dual voice coil and dual magnetic gap design for controlled, consistent output across the coverage area. The 120° × 60° coverage pattern with 400W 70/100V transformer delivers predictable sound distribution suited to outdoor venues, stadiums, and life safety installations requiring EN54-24 compliance.
