JBL Control 25AV-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 25AV-WH is a robust, high-performance surface-mount loudspeaker designed to deliver premium audio quality in both indoor and outdoor commercial environments. Ideal for applications such as retail stores, restaurants, health clubs, theme parks, educational facilities, and hospitality venues, the Control 25AV-WH combines powerful sound, weather resistance, and an elegant, contemporary design. Whether used for foreground music, paging systems, or background audio, this speaker provides exceptional coverage and clarity, ensuring an immersive listening experience.

Engineered for versatility, the Control 25AV-WH features a 5.25-inch polypropylene-coated woofer and a 0.75-inch titanium-coated horn-loaded tweeter. These components, along with the complex crossover network, allow for a smooth, wide frequency response, extending from 70 Hz to 23 kHz. The speaker's excellent sound quality is achieved through JBL's advanced engineering, including the WeatherEdge technology, which ensures the woofer's longevity and reliability in harsh weather conditions. The polypropylene coating on the woofer, combined with the rubberized WeatherEdge surround, adds protection against environmental factors like moisture and UV exposure, making this speaker perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.

The Control 25AV-WH is equipped with a built-in, high-performance transformer that supports both 70V and 100V distributed speaker systems. This multi-tap transformer offers a variety of settings (50W, 30W, 15W, and 7.5W on the 70V taps, and 50W, 30W, and 15W on the 100V taps), while the 8-ohm bypass setting allows the speaker to be used in a more conventional low-impedance system. The speaker also features JBL's exclusive SonicGuard overload protection system, ensuring that the speaker operates reliably even in demanding situations. The high power handling capability (200W continuous program power) and a peak SPL of 113 dB make it suitable for a wide range of audio applications, including large spaces and environments with higher volume requirements.

Installation is made simple with the Control 25AV-WH's InvisiBall mounting system, which provides easy and secure wall mounting while allowing for both vertical and horizontal aiming without the need to remove the grille. This patented mounting method also adds a level of theft deterrence. The speaker's sturdy, weather-resistant enclosure is made from high-impact polystyrene, ensuring durability in a variety of environments. The painted stainless steel grille provides additional protection against the elements, and it is available in both black and white finishes to match the decor of any space. Optional accessories such as the WeatherMax grille provide extra protection in especially challenging environments, such as those exposed to heavy rain or corrosive elements.

Overall, the Control 25AV-WH is designed for environments that demand high-quality audio, weather resilience, and ease of installation. Whether used in a retail space, restaurant, or outdoor venue, this speaker provides powerful, clear sound and outstanding reliability, making it a top choice for commercial audio applications.
