JBL Control 52 - 50W 2.5-inch Passive 70V/100V Surface-Mount Loudspeaker with 150 x 150-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The JBL Professional Control 52 is a compact and stylish satellite loudspeaker designed to provide exceptional high-fidelity sound while maintaining an unobtrusive profile. This 50W passive loudspeaker features a low-distortion 60 mm (2.5-inch) driver that delivers clear, accurate sound reproduction, making it an ideal choice for both commercial and residential applications where space is at a premium. The driver is engineered with advanced features such as a secondary bucking magnet for high efficiency, a rubber half-roll surround for enhanced bass performance, and a 19 mm (0.75-inch) copper-clad aluminum wire voice coil wound on a vented Nomex former for reliable, high-fidelity sound. The copper-capped pole piece further ensures more consistent impedance and extended high-frequency response, resulting in a wide frequency range that performs excellently across a broad spectrum of sound.

The Control 52 is designed to integrate seamlessly with various JBL subwoofers, including the Control 50S/T, Control 60PS/T, and Control 40CS/T in-ceiling subwoofers. The system can be operated in a low-impedance configuration or connected to a 70V/100V distributed speaker line, making it highly versatile. The built-in crossover ensures a seamless connection to the subwoofers, providing full-range, wide-bandwidth performance when used in combination with other JBL speakers. The nominal impedance of 16 ohms allows for easy integration with multiple speakers, making the Control 52 an excellent choice for both small and large installations.

With a 150° x 150° omnidirectional coverage pattern, the Control 52 is perfect for providing consistent, even sound coverage across a wide area. The included wall-mount brackets allow the speaker to be angled up to 45° off-axis for precise sound placement, offering flexibility in the positioning of the speakers. Available in both black and white finishes, the Control 52 can blend seamlessly into various environments, whether in a professional audio installation, home theater, or commercial setting. The speaker's compact size and sleek design make it an ideal solution for those looking to achieve high-quality sound without compromising on space or aesthetics.
