New weather-resistant speaker provides
legendary JBL sound quality and an ultra-low profile for spot-fill applications
at outdoor sports and entertainment venues
ISE (Stand #1-F6), AMSTERDAM — HARMAN Professional Solutions, the global leader in audio, video,
lighting and control systems, including networked AV, today announced the JBL AWC62 all-weather 2-way coaxial loudspeaker, the
latest addition to the full lineup of JBL AW and AWC Series speakers. Featuring
an ultra-compact, highly weather-resistant design, the AWC62 delivers extraordinary
clarity for speech and extended frequency response for music, making it an
ideal choice for spot-fill applications at stadiums, racetracks, fairgrounds,
water parks and other outdoor venues.
“Sports and entertainment venues worldwide rely on JBL
AW and AWC Series speakers for their exceptional sound quality and proven
durability in adverse weather conditions,” said Rick Kamlet, Senior Manager,
Commercial Loudspeakers, HARMAN Professional Solutions. “We’re excited to
extend the AW and AWC Series family with the AWC62, our most compact
all-weather speaker. With full frequency response and a low-profile design,
customers can experience extraordinary sound at, sports facilities, racetracks,
and other outdoor venues without missing the action because a speaker is in the
way.”
Like all AWC speakers, the AWC62 incorporates a coaxial
driver for exceptional sound quality with the smallest possible speaker
profile. For venues where larger speakers obstruct important views of gameplay
or entertainment, the AWC62 offers extremely consistent 110° coverage
with high output in a cabinet that measures just 10.2 x 10.2 x 10.1 inches. A
unique design with a coaxial 6.5-inch low-frequency driver and 1-inch
high-frequency compression driver eliminates high-frequency beaming common
among speakers in this class, and extends pattern control to lower frequencies,
delivering pristine sound quality with a broad frequency range of
70Hz-18kHz.
The AWC62 is IP56 rated to deliver wide bandwidth,
intelligible sound even in the harshest environments. Exceptionally reliable
for long-term outdoor use, a rugged fiberglass reinforced ABS cabinet and
highly treated grille with multi-layer weather backing provide excellent
protection from dust, wind and heavy rain. The enclosure is heavily braced for
exceptional low-frequency performance, with a Kevlar-reinforced low-frequency
cone and a high-temperature voice coil for smooth frequency response.
The AWC62 joins a complete family of powerful outdoor
loudspeakers by HARMAN, including larger AWC and AW Series products, as well as
WRC- and WRX-treated versions of the JBL AE Series. AWC62 speakers provide 175-watt
power handling and are equipped with a 120W 70V/100V multi-tap transformer.
Each AWC62 ships with a heavy-duty, weather-capable U-type mounting bracket for
easy installation. JBL AWC62 loudspeakers are now available in light gray or black
(-BK).
