JBL AWC15LF 15" Compact All-Weather Subwoofer, Light Grey

The AWC15LF is a purpose-built outdoor subwoofer engineered to deliver serious low-end performance in compact form, making it ideal for remote location recording, outdoor festival documentation, and field production work. Its all-weather construction and professional-grade components eliminate the typical compromise between portability and bass authority, allowing you to capture clean, extended low-frequency content wherever your session takes you. The compact footprint fits easily into mobile rigs while the rugged design tolerates the rigors of location work.

Design & Build Quality

Construction centers on a heavily braced ABS and fiberglass enclosure paired with a corrosion-resistant, zinc-rich powder-coated steel grille that withstands extended UV and moisture exposure. The IP-56 rating (per IEC529 at minimum 5° down-tilt) provides genuine protection against dust and heavy water spray, while outdoor-rated terminals in a recessed cup prevent weather damage to connections. A matching heavy-duty zinc-rich powder-coated U-type mounting bracket is included, eliminating the need for separate hardware.

Audio Performance & Power Handling

A 380 mm (15-inch) Kevlar-reinforced woofer with 75 mm voice coil handles 500 watts continuous (2000 watts peak) while maintaining linear output across extended recording sessions and high-SPL demands. The included 300W 70V/100V multi-tap transformer integrates seamlessly into distributed venue or outdoor installation systems, and 94 dB sensitivity ensures efficient operation without excessive amplifier demand. Frequency response extends from 45 Hz (–10 dB) to 2.2 kHz, with tight ±3 dB response from 70 Hz to 1.2 kHz, delivering the controlled, articulate low-end character required for precise mixing and monitoring during location capture or post-production sessions.
