AC2212/00 is a compact 2-way full-
range loudspeaker system comprised of
one 300 mm (12 in) low frequency
driver and one 38 mm (1.5 in) exit/
44 mm (1.75 in) voice-coil compression
driver. The PT Progressive Transition
waveguide provides wide 100° by 100°
coverage. High-slope passive crossovers
minimize band overlap.
The cabinet is fitted with M10
threaded suspension points. Optional
U-bracket, as well as pre-engineered
array bracketry is available for easy
installation. Four threaded inserts locat-
ed on back of the enclosure allow
attachment of an Omnimount™ or
similar mounting bracket.
AC2212/00 is part of JBL’s AE
Application Engineered Series, a
versatile family of loudspeakers for a
wide variety of fixed installation
applications.
