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

The JBL Professional Control 25AV-LS is a high-performance, passive 2-way loudspeaker designed for a variety of commercial applications. With its robust construction, exceptional sound clarity, and advanced protection features, the Control 25AV-LS is perfect for settings that require reliable audio delivery and maximum coverage. This speaker is UL 1480 UUMW listed for use in fire alarm and emergency communication systems, making it suitable for safety-critical environments such as schools, airports, shopping malls, and healthcare facilities. It is also EN54-24 certified, further enhancing its suitability for emergency sound systems. With a deep cabinet design, high-power components, and a sophisticated crossover network, the Control 25AV-LS ensures an incredibly smooth, high-fidelity performance.

Equipped with a 5.25-inch polypropylene-coated woofer and a 0.75-inch titanium-coated horn-loaded tweeter, the Control 25AV-LS provides excellent sonic performance across a broad frequency range of 90 Hz to 20 kHz. The combination of these drivers offers exceptional sound quality with consistent dispersion, ensuring clear and powerful audio throughout the listening area. The speaker's 110° x 85° coverage pattern makes it ideal for both large and small installations, providing even coverage and reducing the need for multiple units. The speaker delivers a maximum SPL of 113 dB peak and 107 dB continuous at 1 meter in 8-ohm bypass mode, and 92 dB at 4 meters in the 60W tap setting. This powerful output makes the Control 25AV-LS ideal for foreground and background music in demanding environments.

Designed for durability, the Control 25AV-LS features a rugged ABS enclosure with an aluminum grille that's coated with polyester powder for added resilience. This ensures the speaker can withstand harsh environmental conditions, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Weather resistance is further enhanced by JBL's proprietary WeatherEdge surround, which protects the critical transducer elements. The speaker's magnetic shielding allows it to be used in close proximity to video monitors without causing interference, which is particularly valuable in media-centric environments. The InvisiBall mounting system, included with each unit, allows for quick installation, easy aiming, and provides a high degree of theft deterrence. With its versatile mounting options, the speaker can be used in a variety of configurations to fit the specific needs of the installation site.

For flexible integration into distributed audio systems, the Control 25AV-LS offers both 70V and 100V line compatibility, making it suitable for larger systems with multiple speakers. The built-in 60W transformer provides multiple power tap options for optimal installation flexibility, including 60W, 30W, and 15W taps, with an 8-ohm bypass setting for direct connection. JBL's exclusive SonicGuard overload protection is included to ensure the speaker maintains reliable performance even in high-power situations, safeguarding the speaker and connected components from damage. The full-range power limiting and internal fuse protect the system during exceptional overload conditions, ensuring long-term, trouble-free operation.

Whether you are looking to enhance background music in a restaurant, provide paging support in a school, or integrate with emergency communication systems, the JBL Control 25AV-LS offers professional-grade performance, versatility, and reliability. The speaker's robust design, exceptional audio clarity, and ease of installation make it a top choice for demanding commercial environments where high-quality sound and safety compliance are paramount.
