JBL Professional AC599-WH - 2-Way Speaker System (15") 90° × 90° in White Finish

The JBL Professional AC599-WH is a 2-way AE Series passive full-range loudspeaker designed for fixed installations requiring uniform coverage, high intelligibility and white aesthetics. It combines a 384 mm (15") woofer with a 66 mm (2.5") voice coil and a 2408H-2 compression driver (25 mm/1") exit, 35 mm/1.5" voice coil) mounted on a PT™ waveguide providing a 90° × 90° pattern in both vertical and horizontal orientations. The high-slope passive crossover minimizes overlap between ways and maintains a controlled off-axis response, ideal for clusters and homogeneous coverage.

The enclosure is constructed from 15mm hardwood plywood with a textured paint finish and a 1.5mm perforated steel grille with acoustic foam. It features 14 M10 suspension points and an additional four M10 threads on the rear for MultiMount® wall mounts. Connectivity includes dual Neutrik NL4MP connectors with shrouded screw terminals , simplifying loop-through wiring. With 75Hz to 18kHz response (±3dB) , 98dB (1W/1m) sensitivity , 8Ω impedance , and 250/500/1000W (cont./prog./peak) IEC power ratings—plus 350W AES (1400W peak, 2hr) —the AC599-WH delivers solid, reliable performance in auditoriums, houses of worship, educational, retail/hospitality, and presentation venues.
