Product Overview

The JBL AW526-BK is the black-finish version of JBL's high-power 15-inch two-way all-weather loudspeaker for permanent outdoor sound reinforcement. It is specified where higher output and extended low-frequency response are needed across large exterior commercial venues, worship campuses, and public-address zones. The black enclosure suits installations where the loudspeaker should visually recede.

Product Description

The AW526-BK mounts its 15-inch woofer and compression-driver horn in a weather-resistant enclosure designed for long-term outdoor exposure. The larger low-frequency driver supports higher sound-pressure levels and fuller bandwidth than 12-inch all-weather models. It is a passive loudspeaker driven by an external commercial amplifier with optional system processing. Integral suspension points support overhead and wall-bracket deployment in fixed-install AV systems. Explore related models in the JBL Professional installed audio collection.

Key Features

  • All-weather construction — The enclosure and hardware are designed for permanent outdoor and high-humidity installation.
  • 15-inch low-frequency transducer — A 15-inch woofer delivers high output and extended low-frequency response for large coverage areas.
  • Two-way horn-loaded design — A horn-loaded high-frequency section provides controlled directivity for intelligibility outdoors.
  • Passive operation — An external amplifier drives the loudspeaker, giving integrators control over system gain structure.
  • Black finish — The black enclosure recedes visually against dark architectural surfaces.

Typical Applications

  • House of worship
  • Government space
  • Multi-purpose room

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the AW526-BK suitable for permanent outdoor installation? Yes. It is an all-weather loudspeaker engineered for fixed exterior mounting and prolonged exposure to the elements.

Does it require an external amplifier? Yes. The AW526-BK is passive and must be driven by a commercial-grade amplifier sized to the application.

When should I choose the 15-inch AW526 over a 12-inch model? Choose the AW526 when the application calls for higher output and extended low-frequency response over larger outdoor coverage areas.
