1. Product Overview
The JBL Professional AM7215/66 is a high-power, lightweight, 2-way, full-range loudspeaker system. It features a JBL Differential Drive dual voice coil and dual magnetic gap 2265H 380 mm (15 inch) low-frequency driver and a 2432H high-frequency 38 mm (1.5 inch) exit, 75 mm (3 inch) voice-coil compression driver.
A large format Progressive Transition waveguide ensures excellent coverage and can be rotated to allow the loudspeaker system to be used in either vertical or horizontal orientation. High-slope passive networks are integrated to minimize band overlap, and a well-controlled off-axis response enhances arrayability for various sound reinforcement applications.
Key Features
- 2265H Differential Drive Low-Frequency Driver for powerful bass response.
- 2432H High-Frequency Compression Driver for clear and precise highs.
- Large PT Progressive Transition waveguide for superior pattern control and low distortion.
- Rotatable waveguide for flexible vertical or horizontal orientation.

The loudspeaker measures approximately 32 inches in height, 22 inches in depth, and 18 inches in width. These dimensions are crucial for planning installation and placement.
3. Setup and Installation
Unpacking
Carefully remove the loudspeaker from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage that may have occurred during transit. Retain the original packaging for future transport or storage.
Mounting Considerations
The AM7215/66 is designed for various installation methods, including magnetic mounting. Ensure that any mounting hardware used is rated to safely support the loudspeaker's weight (67 pounds). The rotatable waveguide allows for optimal sound dispersion whether the speaker is mounted vertically or horizontally. Consult a professional installer for complex installations or when mounting overhead.
Wiring Connections
Connect the loudspeaker to a suitable power amplifier using high-quality speaker cables. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) to maintain proper phase alignment. Refer to your amplifier's manual for specific connection instructions. This is a passive loudspeaker, requiring an external amplifier.
4. Operation
Powering On/Off
Since the AM7215/66 is a passive loudspeaker, it does not have a direct power switch. Power is supplied by the connected amplifier. Always power on your amplifier after connecting the loudspeaker and power off the amplifier before disconnecting.
Audio Signal Connection
Connect your audio source (e.g., mixer, audio interface) to your power amplifier's input. The amplifier's output should then be connected to the AM7215/66 loudspeaker. Adjust volume levels gradually to prevent sudden loud noises or damage to the system.
5. Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean the loudspeaker, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish or components.
Storage
When not in use for extended periods, store the loudspeaker in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If possible, use the original packaging for added protection.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No Sound | Incorrect wiring; Amplifier off; Source issue; Damaged cable. | Check all cable connections and polarity. Ensure amplifier is powered on and functioning. Verify audio source output. Test with a different cable. |
| Distorted Sound | Overdriven amplifier; Input signal too high; Damaged driver. | Reduce amplifier volume or input gain. Check source signal level. If distortion persists at low volumes, contact support. |
| Intermittent Sound | Loose connection; Faulty cable. | Secure all connections. Replace speaker cables if suspected faulty. |
