JBL AC566-WH 15" 2-Way Full-Range Passive Loudspeaker System (White)

Product Overview

The JBL AC566-WH is a 15-inch two-way full-range passive loudspeaker for fixed-installation commercial AV that demands high output and longer-throw coverage. Part of JBL's AE (Application Engineered) Series, this installed-sound loudspeaker combines a 384 mm (15 in) low-frequency driver with a 25 mm (1 in) exit compression driver on a 60° x 60° waveguide. Its white finish blends into light architecture, and the 15-inch woofer adds low-frequency authority for music and program audio in auditoriums, houses of worship, and large multi-purpose rooms.

Product Description

The AC566-WH is a high-output install loudspeaker engineered for permanent mounting in larger venues. Its 60° x 60° waveguide concentrates dispersion to project intelligible audio across deep rooms while controlling side-wall reflections, and the 15-inch low-frequency driver extends usable low end for full-range program material. The 15 mm multi-ply enclosure carries a durable white textured finish and 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 AC566-WH is powered from a commercial amplifier and integrates into reinforcement and program-audio systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What amplifier does the AC566-WH require?
It is a low-impedance passive loudspeaker with no onboard transformer, so it is powered from a commercial amplifier channel rated for its load. Match amplifier output to the speaker's power rating and the number of units per channel.

Why choose the 15-inch AC566-WH over a 12-inch model?
The 384 mm (15 in) low-frequency driver provides more low-end output and headroom for music-forward program audio in larger rooms, while the 60° x 60° pattern supports longer throw.

Can the AC566-WH be flown or suspended?
Yes. It provides M10 threaded suspension points and four rear threaded inserts that accept JBL MultiMount and U-bracket accessories. Use load-rated rigging hardware for the installation.

What warranty and support are included?
The AC566-WH is covered under JBL Professional's installed-sound warranty. Creation Networks provides system design and integration support — contact our team for amplifier matching and coverage planning.
