HARMAN’s JBL Professional will be introducing its new PD500 Series loudspeakers.
An extension of the PD Series loudspeakers, which are found in the most prestigious
stadiums and arenas around the world, the PD500 Series will feature five new
models and will offer the high power, excellent pattern control and smooth
coverage. The PD500 Series can be used in a variety of applications including sports
facilities, performance spaces, auditoriums, or worship facilities.
The full-range PD500 systems utilize the same high-frequency drivers as the
PD6000 Series, making them ideal for use together in large systems where multiple
loudspeakers are required for even coverage and like voicing throughout the space.
The PD500 Series is a new line of loudspeakers systems consisting of four horn-
loaded 15″ 2-way systems and one dual 15″ subwoofer. The PD500 Series
loudspeakers include horn coverage patterns of 40° x 40°, 60° x 40°, 60° x 60°,
and 90° x 50°. All models are available in black, white, and JBL Professional’s WRC
weather protection and WRX extreme weather protection finishes.
The PD500 Series loudspeakers utilize JBL Progressive Transition™ (PT)
waveguides, couple with the 2432H 38mm (1.5″) exit, 75mm (3″) voice coil
compression driver and the 2031H 380 mm (15′) low-frequency transducer that
features high sensitivity and low power compression for high continuous SPL
capability. It is horn-loaded for additional sensitivity and improved pattern control.
The 60° x 40° and 90° x 50° waveguides are rotatable, allowing all models to be
utilized in either vertical or horizontal orientation.
The PD500 Series loudspeakers can be operated in either bi-amplified or in full
passive mode. In either case, digital signal processing is required in order to
achieve specified performance. Input connectivity is achieved via CE-compliant
covered barrier strips. Each cabinet is fitted with 20 M10 threaded suspension
points, supporting a wide variety of installation approaches.
