Description
JBL AW566 15" Hi-Power All-Weather Loudspeaker, 60×60, Grey
The AW566 is a robust two-way system engineered for outdoor installations where consistent, high-output coverage is essential. Its stainless steel construction and composite enclosure handle demanding environmental conditions while delivering articulate, directional sound across the 60° × 60° coverage pattern. This speaker excels in applications ranging from stadium seating to commercial outdoor venues.
Design & Build Quality
The enclosure is constructed from multilayer glass composite with extensive internal bracing, designed to withstand UV exposure, temperature swings, and moisture. A 14-gauge stainless steel grille backed with open-cell foam and stainless steel mesh protects the drivers while minimizing acoustic coloration, and the included heavy-duty stainless steel U-type mounting bracket enables secure installation in either vertical or horizontal orientation.
Audio Performance
The JBL 2265H-1 15-inch low-frequency driver features a dual voice coil and dual magnetic gap design for extended throw and output capability, paired with a JBL 2432H compression driver for articulate high-frequency reproduction. The built-in 400W 70/100V transformer provides flexible line-level integration, while the rotatable 60° × 60° waveguide ensures consistent directional coverage across the listening plane.

Its articulate compression driver, extended low-end throw, and weather-sealed construction make it ideal for capturing performances and ambient sound in stadiums, outdoor festivals, and commercial installations without the sonic compromise of less robust systems. Studio owners and mobile recording engineers rely on it when the recording environment is outdoors and the output must remain tonally cohesive across extreme conditions.
