The SP215-9 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 SP215-9 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

The SP215-9 utilizes one of JBL’s finest
cone transducers, the 2226H. The 15" 2226H
is part of JBL’s family of Vented Gap Cooled
woofers and carries an AES power rating of
600 watts with minimal power compression.
The cone has been treated for weather
resistance.

JBL continually engages in research related to product improvement. New materials, production methods, and design
refinements are introduced into existing products without notice as a routine expression of that philosophy. For this
reason, any current JBL product may differ in some respect from its published description, but will always equal or
exceed the original design specifications unless otherwise stated.
