JBL MTC-25WMG Replacement Grille - Black

JBL Professional MTC-25WMG - Replacement WeatherMax Grille for Control 25AV/25AV-LS (Black)

The JBL MTC-25WMG is the original replacement grille with WeatherMax technology for the Control 25AV and 25AV-LS commercial loudspeakers. Constructed of stainless steel and backed with multi-layer foam, it is designed to break up direct rain and minimize water and dust ingress, extending the life of the system and preserving the speaker's original aesthetics. It is the JBL recommended solution for demanding indoor and outdoor installations in hospitality, retail, sports venues, or public areas where durability, corrosion resistance, and a professional black finish are required.

Main features

• Robust construction: stainless steel mesh suitable for corrosive environments.
• WeatherMax with multi-layer foam (3 layers) behind the grid that helps prevent the direct ingress of water and fine particles.
• Protection against heavy rain: the grille breaks up the rain (“driving rain”) and contributes to improving the protection index of the whole.
• Verified compatibility: specific fit for Control 25AV and Control 25AV-LS ; also available in white (-WH version).
• Improved system sealing: In the Control 25 range, the use of the WeatherMax grille increases the protection of the system; in the Control 25AV (which already includes a watertight terminal cover), IP-55 is achieved.
• Discreet black finish , easy to maintain in professional installations.

User benefits

• Increased speaker durability by reducing direct exposure of the transducers to water and dust.
• Less maintenance in outdoor or high humidity applications.
• Aesthetic integration with the Control 25AV family, maintaining the original appearance of the equipment.
• Reliability in demanding environments: terraces, open-air auditoriums, stations, shopping centers or sports areas.

Use cases

• Public transport crossing areas and platforms.
• School or municipal playgrounds and sports grounds.
• Theme parks and recreational areas exposed to the elements.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does it fit the Control 25-1 / 25-1L models? No. For those models, the correct part number is MTC-25WMG-1 , designed specifically for the 25-1 series.
• Is the grille itself “IP-x5”? The IP rating applies to the speaker and accessories assembly . In the Control 25 series, the WeatherMax grille increases the system's protection; with the watertight terminal cover (MTC-PC2), the assembly reaches IP-55 (in the Control 25AV, which already includes this cover, the assembly is classified as IP-55).
