The black JBL PD6322/43 Three-Way Passive Loudspeakeris a versatile, high-output speaker delivering clear and intelligible high-frequency projection, an extended low-frequency response, and low distortion at even the highest drive levels. The loudspeaker is well suited for professional installations such as performing arts facilities, theatrical sound design, auditoriums, houses of worship, live music venues, night clubs, sports facilities, and theme parks.

The PD6322/43 is comprised of two JBL 2206H 12" Vented Gap Cooled (VGC) low-frequency transducers with 4" voice coils, a CMCD-82H 8" cone midrange compression driver with a 3" voice coil, and a 2432H, 1.5" exit compression driver with 3" voice coil. The midrange compression driver consists of a driver/phasing plug assembly providing high output with low distortion. The two PT Progressive Transition waveguides provide 40x30° of coverage and both are rotatable for deploying the loudspeaker system in either the vertical or horizontal orientation. High-slope passive networks minimize band overlap, while a well-controlled off-axis response enhances arrayability. The PD6322/43 will perform as either a tri-amp or bi-amp (passive mid-high) cabinet, at the flick of a switch.
