The JBL VLA-C265 is a compact, two-way full-range loudspeaker engineered to deliver powerful output, precise coverage, and rugged durability for permanent installations and demanding outdoor environments. Designed with JBL’s proven technologies, the VLA-C265 offers outstanding performance in a lightweight yet weather-resistant enclosure, making it an ideal choice for stadiums, arenas, and large-scale venues requiring long-throw sound reinforcement.

At the heart of the VLA-C265 is a dual 10-inch Differential Drive® low-frequency section, featuring 3-inch voice coils and Direct Cooled™ technology. This advanced design ensures reduced weight, increased power handling, and exceptional output. The high-frequency section incorporates three D2415 compression drivers with neodymium motors and 1.5-inch annular diaphragms, delivering crisp, clear highs with superior sensitivity and pattern control. Together, these components provide a maximum SPL of 137 dB peak, ensuring the system can handle the most demanding sound environments.

The enclosure is built with reinforced fiberglass and internal birch plywood bracing, combined with a weatherized grille system to withstand outdoor conditions. Rated at IP55, the VLA-C265 offers protection against dust and water jets, ensuring reliability in challenging climates. Integrated rigging hardware allows flexible inter-box angles, making it simple to configure arrays tailored to each venue.

Designed for maximum versatility, the VLA-C265 can be operated passively to reduce amplification costs or bi-amplified for maximum SPL and headroom. With a consistent 65° horizontal coverage pattern and compatibility with Crown DCi amplifiers with onboard DSP, the VLA-C265 provides unmatched efficiency, clarity, and control. Whether for sports facilities, performance venues, or outdoor events, the JBL VLA-C265 is a powerful and dependable loudspeaker solution built to last.
