JBL PROFESSIONAL CONTROL 23-1 WH - Ultra-Compact Indoor/Outdoor Speaker
The JBL Professional Control 23-1 WH is an ultra-compact, two-way loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional sound performance in a wide variety of indoor and outdoor environments. Presented in a sleek white finish, this loudspeaker combines a contemporary and sophisticated design with the ruggedness and high-fidelity audio quality that characterize JBL. Its rich sonic character and wide coverage make it the perfect choice for applications requiring background or foreground music and public address announcements with pristine clarity.
Equipped with a 3-inch (76 mm) woofer with a woven fiberglass cone and a liquid-cooled 0.5-inch (13 mm) PEI diaphragm tweeter, the Control 23-1 ensures natural and detailed sound reproduction. The woofer cone, with its pure butyl rubber surround and Weather-Edge protection, along with the FEA-optimized motor structure, provides durability and superior low-frequency performance. The tweeter, meanwhile, delivers crisp and clear highs, thanks to its low-viscosity ferromagnetic fluid and Kapton™ voice coil.
Its design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional. The enclosure is constructed from high-impact polystyrene (HIPS), and the white version features a UV-resistant paint finish, ensuring it maintains its pristine appearance over time. Furthermore, its weatherproof construction, with an IP-44 rating, makes it suitable for withstanding diverse climatic conditions, even exceeding military specifications for humidity, salt spray, and temperature testing.
