Product Overview
The JBL AM5212/26 is a 12-inch two-way full-range passive loudspeaker from JBL's AE (Application Engineered) Series, engineered for medium-power, fixed-installation commercial AV. It combines a 12-inch low-frequency transducer with a 1-inch exit compression driver on a rotatable Progressive Transition waveguide. The /26 designation denotes a specific coverage variant within the AM5200 family, letting integrators select the dispersion that fits auditoriums, houses of worship, and large multi-purpose rooms.
Product Description
The AM5212/26 is a medium-power install loudspeaker built for permanent mounting where consistent program audio and speech intelligibility are required. Its rotatable Progressive Transition waveguide keeps coverage smooth and predictable and can be rotated for landscape or portrait installation. The rugged trapezoidal enclosure supports flown or surface mounting via multiple threaded suspension points and accepts JBL bracket accessories. As a low-impedance passive loudspeaker, the AM5212/26 is driven from a commercial amplifier and integrates into reinforcement and distributed program-audio designs. For comparable installed-audio models, browse the JBL Professional Installed Audio collection.
