About JBL Control 25-1

Under the trusted brand name of JBL, the Control 25-1 5.25" 2-Way Compact Indoor/Outdoor Background/Foreground Speaker is a stylish and durable audio solution. This powerful pair of speakers is designed to deliver high-quality, rich sound with wide coverage and consistent dispersion. Its compact design and versatile mounting options make it an ideal choice for various settings, including retail stores, restaurants, health clubs, theme parks, educational facilities, hospitality venues, music cafes, and leisure venues.

The Control 25-1 is equipped with unique InvisiBall mounting hardware, providing a high degree of both vertical and horizontal rotation. This feature, along with integrated M6 mounting points for an optional U-bracket, ensures easy and versatile installation. The speakers' woven fiberglass cone and high-temperature voice coil offer durability and weather-resistant performance, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

These speakers are designed with JBL's WeatherEdge technology, a seamless, rubberized extension of the woofer surround that provides added protection to critical transducer elements. The cone geometry is optimized for smooth frequency response and consistent off-axis performance, while an FEA-optimized motor construction and linear suspension spider help to lower harmonic distortion.

The HF driver's low viscosity ferro-magnetic fluid increases voice coil cooling for higher long-term power handling. The softened PEI diaphragm delivers a smooth and pure high-frequency sound quality. The light weight Kapton voice coil former increases durability while providing better high-frequency response extension.

The Control 25-1 speakers are built to withstand harsh weather conditions. The grilles are heavily zinc-plated and finished in a tough, high-grade powder coating for rust resistance. Connection is made via weather-capable screw-down terminals, and optional panel covers are available to protect the terminal compartment, providing a water-tight sealed gland-nut entrance.

With an extremely smooth frequency response, these speakers deliver a very natural sound character. The response extends down to 60 Hz, providing strong bass capability. The system is capable of handling 100 Watts continuous pink noise (200 Watts program) at its 8 ohm setting and is also equipped with a built-in 30 Watt 70V/100V multi-tap transformer for operation on distributed speaker lines. The combination of high sensitivity and power handling provides a high Max SPL of 110 dB.

The Control 25-1 speakers are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, readily accepting a variety of paints and finishes to match any decor. Choose these speakers for a versatile, high-quality audio solution that blends seamlessly with your environment.
