JBL PD564 15 Inch Horn-Loaded Full-Range Loudspeaker
The JBL PD564 is a precision directivity horn-loaded loudspeaker featuring a 15-inch driver with 60°×40° pattern control for enhanced horizontal coverage. With 132 dB SPL continuous output, 90 Hz–17 kHz response, and switchable crossover modes, it suits large venues, sports facilities, and applications requiring wider horizontal sound distribution.Overview
The JBL PD564 extends the Precision Directivity platform with asymmetrical 60°×40° pattern control, providing wider horizontal coverage than the PD544's 40°×40° pattern. This directional characteristic suits elongated rooms, wide-angle coverage requirements, and applications where horizontal dispersion is prioritized over vertical containment.
