JBL AC299-WH 12" 2-Way Full-Range Passive Loudspeaker System (White)

Product Overview

The JBL AC299-WH is a 12-inch two-way full-range passive loudspeaker for fixed-installation commercial AV that needs higher output with wide, even room coverage. Part of JBL's AE (Application Engineered) Series, this installed-sound loudspeaker combines a 310 mm (12 in) low-frequency driver with a 25 mm (1 in) exit compression driver on a 90° x 90° waveguide. Its white finish blends into light architecture, and the wide symmetrical pattern fills broad seating areas evenly in auditoriums, houses of worship, and large multi-purpose rooms.

Product Description

The AC299-WH is a higher-output install loudspeaker engineered for permanent mounting where a single box must cover a wide audience. Its 90° x 90° waveguide spreads output broadly and consistently, supporting even speech intelligibility across the room. The 15 mm multi-ply enclosure carries a durable white textured finish and measures 17 in (W) x 25 in (H) x 17 in (D); it is fitted with M10 threaded suspension points plus four rear threaded inserts compatible with JBL MultiMount and U-bracket hardware. Dual Neutrik NL4 connectors with parallel screw terminals support loop-through wiring across an amplified zone. As a low-impedance passive loudspeaker, the AC299-WH is powered from a commercial amplifier and integrates into reinforcement and program-audio systems.

The wide symmetrical pattern is intended for broad, even fill of a seating area from a single enclosure, making it a good main or fill speaker in wide rooms.
