Weather Resistant Configurations for AE Series, AE Compact Series, PD500 Series, PD700i Series, PD6000 Series & VLAi Series JBL offers two standard levels of weather resistance for AE, PD and VLAi Series loudspeakers. WRC is intended for outdoor placement where the loudspeaker will be sheltered from direct exposure to the elements. WRX is best suited for direct exposure to the elements or any extreme environment such as tropical climate, beach areas, or other locations with high or low temperature extremes, salt air, high humidity or rapid change in temperature.
