The AW266 is a high power,
lightweight, 2-way, full-range
loudspeaker system comprised of the
JBL Differential Drive dual voice coil
and dual magnetic gap 2262H 300 mm
(12 in) low-frequency driver and 2432H
high-frequency 38 mm (1.5 in) exit,
75 mm (3 in) voice-coil compression
driver. The large format Progressive
Transition wave-guide provides
excellent 60° x 60° coverage. The
loudspeaker system can used in either
the vertical or horizontal orientation.
The enclosure is constructed of
multilayer glass composite and is
heavily braced to maximize lowfrequency performance. The 16-gauge
stainless steel grille, backed with open
cell foam and stainless steel mesh,
provides excellent protection in the
harshest environments. The system can
be operated as an 8-ohm device and is
equipped with a 400W transformer for
70/100V applications.
A corrosion-resistant extra-thick zincplated polyester powder coated U-type
mounting bracket is included.
The AW266 is part of JBL’s AE Series,
a versatile family of loudspeakers
intended for a wide variety of
applications.
