Applications

The AWC82 is a compact, coaxial-driver, 2-way, highly weather-resistant full- range loudspeaker system which is ideal for speech and music-fill in a wide variety of applications, including sports facilities, racetracks, stadiums, fairgrounds, rodeos, skating rinks, themed entertainment venues, cruise ships, water parks, outdoor background music/paging systems, swimming pools, and a wide variety of other outdoor or indoor venue types.

The AWC82 is comprised of a high-power co-axial 200 mm (8 in) low-frequency driver and a 25 mm (1 in) high-frequency compression driver. The co-axial design utilizes a unique tapered pole-piece design and transitions to the cone of the low-frequency driver as a large diameter pattern control horn for the high frequencies, both eliminating high-frequency beaming which is common among this category of the speaker and extending pattern control to the lowest possible frequencies. The result is a coaxial speaker with wide, extremely consistent 120° coverage on a broadband basis.

Component features include a Kevlar-reinforced low-frequency cone for reliability, a well-damped surround for smooth frequency response, a high- temperature voice coil, and a reduced distortion design through saturated-gap magnet geometry. The high-frequency compression driver features a unique patented design, high-temperature polymer diaphragm, and fluid-cooling for high output levels with low distortion.

The paintable enclosure is constructed of thick, ABS plus fiberglass and is heavily braced to maximize low-frequency performance. The corrosion-resistant zinc-rich extra-thick powder-coated steel grille is backed with open cell foam and high thread-count mesh, providing excellent protection in the harshest environments. The system is rated IP-56, per IEC529 when installed at a minimum 5° down-tilt.

The system is equipped with a 200W 70V/100V multi-tap transformer. Connection is made via outdoor-rated terminals in a recessed terminal cup. A protective terminal compartment cover is included, along with a gland nut, which forms a water-tight seal with a round-jacketed cable having an outside diameter between 4 mm (0.16 in) and 9 mm (0.36 in). A heavy-duty weather-capable zinc- rich, thick powder-coated U-type mounting bracket is included.

FAQ’s

JBL sound system: what is it?****

JBL is a company that produces audio equipment in the United States, with its headquarters in Los Angeles, California. JBL caters to the consumer home and business markets. The professional market covers the markets for studios, cars, music production, DJs, installed/tour/portable sound, and movies.

Does my JBL Professional speaker have to be reset?

How does a loudspeaker make sound louder?****

The part of the speaker that converts electrical into mechanical energy is frequently called the motor, or voice coil. The motor vibrates a diaphragm that in turn vibrates the air in immediate contact with it, producing a sound wave corresponding to the pattern of the original speech or music signal.

How do loudspeakers affect society?****

The loudspeaker culture has a detrimental effect on health, on education, on social relations and on spiritual development. Noise creates psychological stress, which impacts negatively on mental health leading to depression and anxiety.

What are the features of a loudspeaker?****

Loudspeaker specifications have traditionally described the physical properties and characteristics of loudspeakers: frequency response, dimensions and volume of the cabinet, diameter of drivers
