Product Information

dB ave. Continuous Pink Noise (116 dB peak) *Calculated from sensitivity and power handling, exclusive of power compression. Likewise the Control 50 subwoofer is a particularly popular model as offers supreme versatility when designing distributed installed system s. It's often paired with on-wall speakers such as the Control 23-1's or 25-1's to great success. Supplied with flexible wall-mounts, the Control Ones can be mounted high up and out of the way but also angled downwards to direct the sound. Flexible ball joints give a wide range of directionality. Safety wires, in case of mount failure, are also supplied.

These speakers are intended for permanent installation. Enclosures are moulded from high-impact polystyrene, lightly textured, ready for painting when decor matching. High frequency drivers offer horn-tailored directivity and the compact dimensions and adjustable mounts supplied help the installer to place the full-range cabinets unobtrusively, with the easily-placed sub-bass unit available, for low-distortion low-band output. The Control 52 in particular is an extremely versatile and popular speaker for a variety of applications thanks to its ease of installation and small size. Think boardrooms, waiting areas, and even the choir pews of churches.

When most people refer to JBL Control Contractor they have the wall mounted 20 series in mind. Control 1 Pros and Control 25s have been a standard for install applications for a long time. . They were updated in 2016 with a new waveguide, greater bass extension and updated styling and the newer models can be recognised by their rounded corners and the -1 suffix. dB continuous peak pink noise 107 dB continuous average pink noise 103 dB continuous average music or speech W Continuous Program (2 hrs) 100 W (400W peak), Continuous Pink Noise (2 hrs) 75 W (300W peak) Continuous Pink Noise (100 hrs)

Customer reviews

The Control Contractor 60 Series pendant speakers come in a variety of sizes, with a sub-woofer option - and provide the ideal high quality speaker solution in venues with high ceilings or open-architecture. W Continuous Program (2 hrs) *Continuous Pink Noise rating is IEC-shaped pink noise with a 6 dB crest factor. Continuous Program Power is defined as 3 dB above the Continuou Pink Noise Rating and is a conservative expression of the system’s ability to handle normal speech and music program material. In the ultra-compact category choose the tiny Control 52 speakers as an on-wall option, a Control 62P pendant or a Control 42 in-ceiling model. These all feature a JBL-designed 2.5" driver, offering high-fidelity sound with a consistent coverage pattern of 140 – 160 degrees conical . They are often combined into sub/sat systems with accompanying subwoofers (see section further below!) The JBL ceiling speaker ranges will be well-known to any installer. The Control 24C/T in particular has been a mainstay in the industry for many years with different variants and iterations. One reason for the 20 Series popularity is that the drivers are all 16 ohms, meaning for smaller low-impedance installs it’s easier to run more speakers on a single line than it would be with a comparable 8-ohm speaker. They are also voiced to provide real clarity and presence to speech, making them ideal for speech and paging applications. If speech clarity in a ceiling speaker is the particular requirement of a specification, the Control 26 C/T is the most recommended model. Recommended Protective High-Pass: 60 Hz high-pass (24 dB/oct) *For protection against driving below resonant frequency and to keep transformer out of saturation.

Regardless of the size of the installation, JBL Control Contractor Series has options to suit any application. Whether the architecture suits in-ceiling, on-wall, or pendant loudspeakers, the JBL range provides an array of options from ultra-compact to large room-filling power. Constructed with durable materials, the JBL Control 25-1 is designed to withstand the elements. Its weather-resistant enclosure ensures long-lasting performance even in outdoor environments. This makes it suitable for applications such as patios, restaurants, or other venues where weather conditions may vary. LF: 130 mm (5.25 in) polypropylene-coated paper with WeatherEdge surround, 25 mm (1 in) voicecoil on kapton former mm (5.25 in), woven-fiberglass cone with pure butyl rubber surround with Weather-Edge frame protection, high-temp fibreglass voice coil former, high-temp voice coil wire, optimised cone geometry, linear suspension spider, and FEA optimised motor structure. Although the Control 40 series are more expensive than the other series, they benefit from an economy of scale when it comes to amplification. For large installations, you pay more per speaker but using half as many. The tap settings on the Control 40 series are generally double that of the Control 10 and 20 series, so actually the amp spec is usually about the same.Connection is by screw down terminal strip. Models with factory-installed 100V/70V line transformers are available, and the extensive use of high-tech materials promotes speaker life expectancy while increasing weather resistance. (Note that while some of the products are splash-proof, they are not claimed to be totally weather proof. The sub-bass unit is not intended for outdoor use). Protection circuitry is included inside the Control 23-1 , 25-1 & 28-1L providing power limiting to protect cross-over network and transducers. Mounting options Featuring JBL’s proprietary conical Radiation Boundary Integrator® (RBI™) technology which evens out the frequency spread, the more premium Control 40 series includes models including a ceiling subwoofer and a low-profile version of the Control 47 for difficult roof voids.
