JBL Control 25AV-LS-WH - 200W 5.25-inch Passive 2-Way 70V/100V Surface-Mount Loudspeaker with 100 x 85-Degree Coverage and EN54-24 Certification in White Finish

The JBL Professional Control 25AV-LS-WH is a premium 2-way loudspeaker designed to provide high-quality sound in demanding commercial environments. Built on the proven platform of the Control 25AV, this speaker is UL 1480 UUMW listed, making it compliant with fire alarm and emergency communication systems, and it is also EN54-24 certified for critical fire safety and emergency applications. It is ideal for use in facilities such as airports, schools, shopping centers, hospitals, and other public venues where reliable audio performance is necessary for both background music and paging systems. The speaker combines excellent fidelity, durable construction, and weather-resistant features, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

The Control 25AV-LS-WH features a deep cabinet and a high-performance network designed to deliver smooth and clear high-fidelity sound. The 5.25-inch polypropylene-coated woofer and 0.75-inch titanium-coated horn-loaded tweeter provide excellent low and high-frequency response, with a broad frequency range of 90 Hz to 20 kHz. This combination ensures superior sound quality, whether you're using it for foreground music, background sound, or paging. The speaker's 110° x 85° coverage ensures even sound distribution across the listening area, making it perfect for large spaces requiring consistent audio throughout.

One of the standout features of the Control 25AV-LS-WH is its ability to handle high power while maintaining clarity and reliability. It delivers 200W of continuous program power in the 8-ohm bypass mode and 100W of continuous pink noise, making it capable of reaching a peak SPL of 113 dB at 1 meter. In 70V/100V configurations, the speaker can be set to various taps, including 60W, 30W, and 15W, to suit different installation needs. The included InvisiBall mounting hardware ensures easy and secure installation, with the added benefit of a high degree of theft deterrence. The speaker also features a sealed input panel cover and captive screw-down terminals for a secure and weather-resistant connection.

For long-term reliability and durability, the Control 25AV-LS-WH is equipped with a stainless steel grille, coated with polyester powder, providing enhanced protection in harsh environments. The WeatherEdge surround, a seamless butyl rubber extension of the woofer, helps protect the speaker's critical transducer elements from moisture and other environmental hazards. Additionally, the titanium-coated polycarbonate tweeter diaphragm is designed for increased rigidity and endurance, ensuring consistent performance even in challenging environments. The use of high-quality nickel/zinc rust-resistant terminals further enhances the speaker's longevity and ensures secure input connections.

The Control 25AV-LS-WH is perfect for installations that require a compact yet powerful loudspeaker with excellent sound quality, wide coverage, and reliable performance. Its ability to integrate seamlessly into distributed audio systems, along with its high power handling and EN54-24 certification, makes it an ideal solution for emergency communications, public address systems, and high-fidelity audio applications in commercial spaces.
