JBL AC599 2-Way Full-Range 15" Passive Loudspeaker System (Black)

Product Overview

The JBL AC599 is a 15-inch two-way full-range passive loudspeaker for fixed-installation commercial AV that needs high output with wide, even room 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 90° x 90° waveguide. The 15-inch woofer adds low-frequency authority while the wide pattern fills broad seating areas, making the AC599 a strong main loudspeaker for auditoriums, houses of worship, and large multi-purpose rooms.

Product Description

The AC599 is a high-output install loudspeaker engineered for permanent mounting where a single box must cover a wide audience with full-range program audio. Its 90° x 90° waveguide spreads output broadly and consistently, and the 15-inch driver extends usable low end for music. The 15 mm multi-ply enclosure carries a durable 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 AC599 is powered from a commercial amplifier and integrates into reinforcement and program-audio systems.
