Main Features
This speaker is equipped with professional-grade components to ensure exceptional audio reproduction and a long lifespan.
-
5.25" woofer with fiberglass cone: The 135mm low-frequency transducer uses a woven fiberglass cone, a material known for its rigidity and light weight, which delivers defined bass and reduces distortion. The cone is surrounded by a pure butyl rubber surround and features JBL's Weather-Edge™ protection, adding an extra layer of durability to the most exposed elements.
-
Liquid-cooled 0.75" tweeter: The 19mm PEI (Polyetherimide) diaphragm delivers crisp, clear highs. Low-viscosity ferrofluid cooling increases long-term power handling capacity, ensuring stable performance even at high volumes.
-
Wide 100° x 100° Coverage: Its symmetrical and wide dispersion pattern ensures uniform sound throughout the listening area, allowing you to cover a space with fewer speakers and ensuring that all listeners enjoy the same sound quality.
-
Flexible 8-ohm and 70V/100V line operation: The Control 25-1-WH can operate as a conventional 8-ohm speaker with a 100-watt handling capacity (200W program). It also incorporates a high-quality 30-watt multi-tap transformer for use in 70V and 100V distributed audio systems, ideal for installations with long cable runs and multiple speakers.
-
InvisiBall® Mounting System: Each speaker includes JBL's exclusive InvisiBall wall mounting system. This hardware, virtually invisible once installed, allows for easy vertical and horizontal adjustment of the speaker. Adjustments are made through a hidden access point behind the logo, deterring theft and eliminating the need to remove the grille.
-
Weatherproof design: The housing is made of high-impact polystyrene (HIPS), and the transducers are treated to withstand harsh environmental conditions. With a standard IP-44 rating, it is splash-proof, making it suitable for patios, decks, and other covered outdoor areas.
Professional Sound in Any Environment
The JBL Control 25-1-WH is designed to meet the challenges of commercial audio installations.
