JBL Professional AWC82-BK - 8" All Weather 2-Way Coaxial Speaker with LF and 120° × 120° Coverage (Black)
The JBL AWC82-BK is a compact loudspeaker for demanding indoor and outdoor installations, designed to deliver clear vocals and extended musical response in a minimal footprint. Its 2-way coaxial architecture combines a 200mm woofer with a Kevlar -reinforced cone and 50mm voice coil with a 25mm compression driver featuring a high-temperature polymer diaphragm. The result is consistent, wide 120° × 120° broadband coverage, with a frequency response of 80 Hz–20 kHz (−10 dB) and a sensitivity of 94 dB (2.83 V/1 m).
For distributed installations, it integrates a 200W (70/100V) multi-socket transformer with 200/100/50W selections (and an additional 25W at 70V) plus a direct 8Ω input . The fiberglass-reinforced ABS enclosure, zinc-plated powder-coated steel grille, and gland nut sealing assembly provide IP56 protection when installed at least 5° downward tilt . It is supplied with a color-matched U-bracket and M10 mounting points for secure and quick installation.
