JBL Professional AC299-WH - 2-Way Passive Loudspeaker (12") 90° × 90° in White

The JBL Professional AC299-WH is a compact, 2-way AE Series full-range loudspeaker designed for fixed installations requiring 90° × 90° symmetrical coverage , high intelligibility and a sleek white finish . It combines a 310 mm (12″) woofer with a 66 mm (2.5″) voice coil and a 2408H-2 compression driver (25 mm exit and 35 mm voice coil) over a waveguide that maintains the pattern in both vertical and horizontal orientation. The high-slope passive crossover minimizes overlap between paths and ensures a well-controlled off-axis response, facilitating the creation of coherent clusters and homogeneous coverage.

The enclosure is constructed from 15mm hardwood plywood with a white textured paint (-WH) , features a 1.5mm perforated steel grille with acoustic foam, 14 M10 suspension points and 4 rear M10 threads for attaching MultiMount® or similar brackets. Connectivity combines dual Neutrik NL4MP connectors with parallel shrouded screw terminals for clean and secure loop-through wiring. With 97dB sensitivity (1W/1m) , 8Ω impedance , IEC 250/500/1000W (cont./prog./peak) power and AES 350W (1400W peak, 2h) power , the AC299-WH performs with authority in theatres, houses of worship, education, retail/hospitality, presentation halls and clubs.

Main features

• Stable 90° × 90° coverage vertically or horizontally for even energy distribution.
• JBL transducers : LF 12″ (66 mm coil) + HF 2408H-2 (25 mm exit, 35 mm coil).

• Finish : White (-WH) . Not available with WRC/WRX trim.

Product benefits

• Homogeneous 90° × 90° coverage reduces shadows and maintains tonal consistency in wide rooms.
• High intelligibility thanks to off-axis control and high gradient crossing.
• Easy integration : multiple M10 mounting points and Speakon + terminal block connectivity for tidy and scalable installations.
• White aesthetics that integrate into projects with architectural requirements without sacrificing performance.

Use cases

• Theaters, auditoriums, and multipurpose halls requiring symmetrical coverage.
• Places of worship, educational centers, and corporate presentation rooms.
• Commercial and hospitality environments that demand high performance and discreet design.

Installation and connectivity

Input via 2 × NL4MP and a covered screw terminal block (in parallel) for loop-through . The enclosure integrates 14 M10 suspension points and 4 × M10 rear points compatible with MultiMount® or equivalent wall mounts. U-brackets , overhead brackets , and wall mounts are available as accessories.
