JBL PS15

Documentation on the JBL PS15 is thin. What survives comes from a single product review source, which places it as a professional loudspeaker - a two-way enclosure built around a 15-inch low-frequency woofer and a 1-inch high-frequency compression driver. The crossover sits at 1.8 kHz. It was rated for 120 watts continuous pink noise and 240 watts continuous program, with a sensitivity of 96 dB SPL (1W@1m) and a nominal impedance of 8 ohms. Frequency response is listed at 50 Hz to 18 kHz.

Beyond those figures, the record is silent. No production years, original pricing, dimensions or weight have surfaced. No design or technology details, no family relationships to other JBL professional models, and no period reviews have turned up. Mix magazine coverage from the era does mention JBL professional gear, but it focuses on other models - the 2242H Super Vented Gap woofer and the 2012H cone driver, for instance (Mix, August 1996, p.146) - and never mentions the PS15. Pro-Sound (August 2013, p.44) discusses sound reinforcement systems at music festivals, and it doesn't mention the PS15 either.

Going by the specs alone, the PS15 appears to be a straightforward high-sensitivity PA or stage monitor in JBL's professional line. It should be efficient enough to get loud on modest power, with the classic 15-inch-plus-compression-driver formula. That's an inference from the numbers, not a verified history.
