JBL Professional AW595 - High-power all-weather 2-way speaker with 1 x 15" LF and rotating waveguide
The JBL AW595 is a professional, fixed-installation loudspeaker designed for reliable performance in demanding outdoor environments. It combines a 15" JBL Differential Drive® 2265H dual voice coil, dual-air-gap woofer with a JBL 2432H compression driver (1.5" exit, 3" voice coil), coupled to a large-format PT™ (Progressive Transition) waveguide with a 90° × 50° pattern. The horn is rotatable, ensuring consistent coverage in both vertical and horizontal mounting configurations.
The system can be operated on low impedance (8 Ω) or distribution lines thanks to its internal 400 W transformer for 70/100 V with selectable taps. Its hand-laminated, heavily braced fiberglass enclosure and triple-layer stainless steel grille with open-cell foam provide the necessary protection against rain, humidity, dust, and salt spray, with an IP55C (IEC 529) environmental rating. It is supplied with a heavy-duty U-shaped mounting bracket .
Product note: The manufacturer's official gallery may show an image of a non-LS version. The parts are sealed in the LS models , and this sub-model adds compliance with EN 54-24 for voice evacuation and other life safety applications (not applicable to the AW595 standard).

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the difference between the AW595 and the AW595-LS? The AW595-LS adds sealed parts and EN 54-24 compliance for voice alarm systems. Both models incorporate a 400W transformer for 70/100V; the standard AW595 is not EN 54-24 certified.
-
Can I rotate the speaker to mount it horizontally? Yes. The waveguide is rotatable and allows you to maintain the coverage pattern in any orientation.
-
Does it include a stand? Yes, it comes with a weatherproof U-shaped mounting bracket.
