JBL AM5212/64 Passive/Biamp 2-Way 12" Loudspeaker System (Black)

The JBL AM5212/64 is a two way loudspeaker system that gives installers and sound engineers a reliable path to clear, full range audio in venues such as clubs, theaters, houses of worship, and corporate event spaces. It combines a 12 inch low frequency driver that uses a dual voice coil design with a 1.5 inch exit compression driver, resulting in a frequency response that reaches from a solid 37 Hz up to 20 kHz. Listeners hear tight, authoritative lows, articulate mids, and crisp highs without the need for extra processing.

A 60 by 40 degree horn controls the dispersion so you can keep the energy on the audience and off the walls. When the room layout calls for a different orientation, the waveguide rotates, allowing either vertical or horizontal mounting while maintaining the same coverage pattern. With fifteen built-in mounting points, the enclosure adapts easily to flown clusters, wall brackets, or truss work.

The system accepts 300 watts of long-term power and offers a sensitivity of 97 dB on the low frequency section and 115 dB on the high frequency section, making it efficient enough to reach every seat without overtaxing the amplifier. A rear panel switch lets you choose passive mode for single-amp simplicity or bi-amp mode when you want more control from the DSP and amplifier rack.

Durability matches the performance. The cabinet is built from eleven-ply birch plywood, finished in black to disappear against stage backdrops, and protected by a powder-coated steel grille that shrugs off daily wear. At 45 pounds it is sturdy yet manageable for touring crews who need to set up and tear down quickly.

Whether you are upgrading a small club, filling side balconies in a theater, or adding high fidelity delay lines to a house of worship, the AM5212/64 delivers the output, pattern control, and build quality you expect from JBL’s professional range.
