JBL AWC82 All-Weather 8" 2-Way 250W Passive Coaxial Loudspeaker (Single, Black)

The JBL AWC82-BK is a coaxial loudspeaker designed for installations that demand reliable performance in open air and other difficult conditions. It provides the robust output expected from professional systems while standing up to rain, sun, and temperature swings.

An 8 inch woofer that uses Kevlar reinforcement handles the low and mid frequencies. A one inch high frequency driver, cooled with ferrofluid, sits on the same axis to maintain phase coherence. Together they manage up to 250 watts of continuous power and reach peaks of 124 decibels, so announcements cut through crowd noise and background music carries energy.

The horn geometry delivers a 120 by 120 degree coverage pattern, which simplifies positioning and helps every listener hear balanced sound without hot spots. The frequency response spans from 80 hertz to 20 kilohertz, covering speech fundamentals, vocal presence, and musical detail.

An enclosure molded from durable ABS plastic earns an IP56 rating, and a grille made from heavy steel protects the components from impact, dust, and water. The loudspeaker arrives with a U bracket for quick aiming on walls, columns, or overhead beams. A built in transformer with multiple taps lets integrators connect to 70 volt or 100 volt distributed lines without additional hardware.

Restaurants with outdoor seating, school sports fields, shopping centers, houses of worship, and cruise ship decks all benefit from the combination of wide coverage and protection against weather that the AWC82-BK provides. Once installed, it works day after day with minimal maintenance, delivering the consistent sound quality that listeners expect from JBL.
