SP225-9
Two-Way Full Range
Loudspeaker System For
Permanent Installation
Key Features:
᭤ VGC (Vented Gap Cooled
TM
) LF transducers
᭤ Opt Apt HF horn with 1.5" exit
compression driver
᭤ Trapezoidal enclosure for easy cluster
arrangements
᭤ DuraFlex finish, tough, weather resistant
and paintable
᭤ Internal tamper resistant Bi-Amped/Passive
selector
᭤ 12 Suspension points (M10 Thread)
᭤ Advanced Network Topologies for smooth
power response and stable amplifier
loading
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 Cooled
TM
) LF
transducers provide powerful transient bass.
The proven Optimized Aperture
TM
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.

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.
