Introducing the AC18/26: a compact full-range loudspeaker system engineered for a remarkable blend of bandwidth and sound pressure level within a discreet visual package. Designed to harmonize seamlessly with its environment, it stands as a powerful yet unobtrusive addition.

With its innovative enclosure design, the AC18/26 easily finds its place close to walls and ceilings, making it an optimal choice for under balcony, column, or wall mounting. The 1" exit compression driver, integrated into a freshly designed 120° x 60° rotatable PT™ (Progressive Transition) waveguide, guarantees uniform coverage across the intended listening area. This combination results in an impeccably smooth power response, contributing to an exceptionally natural audio profile.

At the core of this system lies an 8" Symmetrical Field Geometry (SFG™) LF Transducer, featuring a copper-clad aluminum edge wound 2.5" voice coil and a copper-clad pole piece. This innovative configuration reduces voice coil inductance and distortion, ensuring optimal performance.

The robust multi-ply hardwood enclosure is engineered to thrive in both vertical and horizontal orientations. Optional U-bracket and OmniMount® type bracket mounting points offer flexibility in installation. For even more versatility, the AC18/26 is equipped with attachment points on the enclosure's underside, catering to stand mount accessory requirements.

Impeccable durability is woven into its design, with the rugged plywood enclosure boasting JBL's textured DuraFlex™ finish. A heavy-duty powder-coated steel grille, backed with foam, reinforces the protection of this audio marvel.
