Product Overview
The JBL AC18/95 is an 8-inch two-way passive install loudspeaker from JBL's AE Compact Series, built for fixed commercial AV that needs wide, controlled coverage from a discreet enclosure. It pairs an 8-inch low-frequency transducer with a 1-inch exit compression driver on a 90° x 50° waveguide for articulate speech and balanced program audio across a broad seating area. The compact cabinet surface-mounts close to walls and ceilings for under-balcony, column, or distributed coverage in commercial spaces.
Product Description
The AC18/95 is a single-woofer compact install loudspeaker engineered for permanent mounting in commercial environments. Its 90° x 50° waveguide spreads output broadly while controlling vertical dispersion, supporting even intelligibility in wide rooms. The enclosure carries JBL's textured DuraFlex finish with a foam-backed powder-coated steel grille for install-grade durability, and dual Neutrik NL4 connectors plus screw terminals support series or parallel wiring. Multiple threaded suspension points and an optional U-bracket or OmniMount-type accessory provide vertical or horizontal mounting flexibility. As a low-impedance passive loudspeaker, the AC18/95 pairs with external amplification and integrates into reinforcement, paging, and program-audio systems. For comparable installed-audio models, browse the JBL Professional Installed Audio collection.
