The model SP225-9 is a true, full range system that provides unprecedented bandwidth and maximum SPL in a single system package. With nominal 90° coverage pattern, systems can be splayed together for additional coverage and/or SPL requirements. Two powerful 15" VGC (Vented Gap CooledTM) LF transducers provide powerful transient bass. The proven Optimized ApertureTM HF horn coupled to a 2447J, 1.5" exit compression driver delivers a precise, clear and controlled high frequency response.

The SP225-9 is equipped with a passive crossover that can be switched to bi-amplified use via an easily accessible internal tamper resistant selector. Bi-amplified mode, utilizing the DSC260 digital controller for crossover, signal alignment, and equalization functions, provides optimum system performance.

The SP225-9 is part of the JBL Sound Power Series, a family of modular loudspeaker systems designed for fixed installation applications ranging from speech reinforcement to large scale music productions. All models are fitted with suspension points that accept M10 threads. The enclosures are finished with a hard wearing, weather resistant, textured finish DuraFlex. Premium 13 ply wood and an 18 gauge steel, foam-backed grille enable Sound Power systems to comply with environment test specifications.

Components:

The SP225-9 utilizes one of JBL’s finest cone transducers, the 2226H. The 15" 2226H are part of JBL’s family of Vented Gap Cooled woofers and carries an AES power rating of 1200 watts with minimal power compression. The cone has been treated for weather resistance.

The 38 mm (1.5 in) exit 2447J large format compression driver is coupled to an Optimized Aperture Bi-Radial®horn providing smooth even coverage. The Optimized Aperture horn provides lower throat distortion than its earlier predecessors while extending frequency response to nearly 20 kHz.
