JBL AC16 6.5" Ultra-Compact 2-Way Pro Loudspeaker 320W PT Waveguide

The JBL AC16 Ultra-Compact 6.5" 2-Way Professional Loudspeaker is engineered for precision sound reinforcement in permanent installation environments where space constraints demand compact size without sacrificing audio performance. Part of JBL’s AE Series, the AC16 delivers high-fidelity sound with superior coverage for commercial AV systems, hospitality venues, conference rooms, worship spaces, and architectural installations.

Equipped with a 6.5-inch Symmetrical Field Geometry (SFG) low-frequency driver and a 1-inch compression driver mounted on JBL’s proprietary 90° x 90° Progressive Transition (PT) waveguide, the AC16 offers exceptional pattern control and smooth, even frequency response both on and off-axis.

The cabinet handles 320 watts program power, providing robust output with minimal distortion for speech, background music, or full-range sound reinforcement applications. The AC16's flexible input panel includes both Neutrik NL4 and barrier strip screw terminal connections, accommodating a variety of wiring configurations for integrators and installers.

Advanced FIR Tuning optimizes phase alignment and frequency response, delivering tight, accurate imaging and consistent sound quality throughout the listening area. The AC16’s multiple mounting options include U-brackets, OmniMount compatibility, and standard mounting hardware, supporting under-balcony, wall, ceiling, and column placements for discreet and versatile installation.

Constructed with commercial-grade materials, the JBL AC16 is designed for long-term durability in demanding fixed-install environments while maintaining its sleek, low-profile aesthetic that blends seamlessly into professional spaces.
