JBL Control 25-1L-WH - 100W 5.25-inch Passive 2-Way IP44-Rated 70V/100V Surface-Mount Loudspeaker with 100 x 100-Degree Coverage and 8-Ohm Impedance in White Finish

The JBL Professional Control 25-1L-WH is a high-performance, surface-mount loudspeaker designed to deliver premium sound in both indoor and outdoor commercial environments. This 5.25-inch passive 2-way loudspeaker offers a wide 100° x 100° coverage, ensuring consistent sound dispersion across large spaces, making it ideal for applications such as retail stores, restaurants, theme parks, health clubs, airports, educational facilities, and leisure venues. With its contemporary white finish, the Control 25-1L-WH blends seamlessly into a variety of decors, providing exceptional audio performance without compromising on aesthetic appeal.

The Control 25-1L-WH is equipped with a 5.25-inch woven fiberglass cone woofer, which offers durability and excellent weather-resistant performance. The woofer's pure butyl rubber surround and JBL's exclusive WeatherEdge technology enhance the speaker's resilience in demanding environments. The high-temperature fiberglass voice coil former and voice coil wire ensure stable, high-power handling even under extended use, while the linear suspension spider helps minimize distortion. The 0.75-inch PEI diaphragm high-frequency driver, cooled by low-viscosity ferro-magnetic fluid, produces clear, crisp high frequencies with an extended response, offering high-fidelity sound reproduction.

For easy and secure installation, the Control 25-1L-WH features the InvisiBall mounting system, allowing for both vertical and horizontal rotation adjustments. The InvisiBall system is conveniently adjusted through a hidden access behind the logo badge, eliminating the need to remove the grille and providing a higher level of theft deterrence. Integrated M6 mounting points allow for additional mounting flexibility with the optional U-bracket. The speaker's enclosure is made of high-impact polystyrene (HIPS), with a UV-resistant paint coating on the white finish to protect against fading in outdoor environments. Grilles are zinc-plated and finished with a durable TGIC polyester powder coating to resist rust, ensuring long-lasting reliability in all weather conditions. The optional MTC-25WMG WeatherMax grille further protects the speaker in harsh environments, including driving rain.

With a power handling capacity of 100 watts continuous (200 watts program), the Control 25-1L-WH is capable of delivering a high maximum SPL of 110 dB, making it suitable for medium to large spaces requiring high-output audio. The system's frequency response ranges from 60 Hz to 20 kHz, with a smooth transition between low and high frequencies for natural sound character. The 70V/100V multi-tap transformer, which is built into the speaker, provides added flexibility for distributed speaker systems, with taps available at 30W, 15W, 7.5W, and 3.7W for 70V and 30W, 15W, and 7.5W for 100V operation. This allows the Control 25-1L-WH to integrate easily into various commercial audio setups while delivering optimum performance.

Designed for easy installation and high-quality sound performance, the Control 25-1L-WH is an ideal choice for businesses looking for a reliable, weather-resistant loudspeaker that delivers consistent and clear sound. Whether for background music, paging, or foreground music, the Control 25-1L-WH ensures a superior audio experience in a wide range of commercial environments.
