JBL Control CRV - 150W 2 x 4-inch Passive 2-Way IP34-Rated 70V/100V Surface-Mount Loudspeaker with 150 x 80-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The JBL Professional Control CRV is a highly versatile and stylish 150W 2 x 4-inch passive 2-way surface-mount loudspeaker designed for exceptional sound quality and aesthetic integration in a variety of commercial environments. Its elegant curved design makes it ideal for upscale settings such as restaurants, retail stores, lounges, theme bars, hotels, and museums, while its robust performance ensures excellent results in foreground and background music and paging applications. The dual 4-inch PolyPlas woofers feature large 1.25-inch voice coils with vented aluminum formers and dual neodymium magnets for high power handling, durability, and low harmonic distortion. A 0.75-inch titanium-laminate dome tweeter with a bi-radial waveguide and Ferrofluid cooling provides smooth high-frequency performance, reduced thermal compression, and maximum power handling.

The Control CRV includes an advanced high-slope crossover network, with a 36 dB/octave high-pass filter for the tweeter and an 18 dB/octave low-pass filter for the woofers, ensuring seamless integration and natural midrange sound quality. Its built-in 70V/100V multi-tap transformer with 30W, 15W, 7.5W, and 3.8W tap settings (plus 4-ohm direct capability) offers flexibility for distributed loudspeaker systems. The nominal coverage of 105° horizontal by 80° vertical ensures uniform sound distribution, while its directivity index and factor provide consistent performance across the listening area. The speaker's IP34 environmental rating, ABS enclosure, and screened ports make it suitable for indoor and outdoor use, protecting it from pests, humidity, salt spray, and UV exposure.

The Control CRV supports a wide range of installation options, from wall mounting with a 45° downward aiming axis to corner or ceiling junction configurations, creating unique coverage solutions. Its curved design allows multiple units to be clustered for expanded coverage, with up to four speakers forming a 360° cluster using the optional PMB pole-mount bracket. The included corner/wall-mount bracket and trim covers simplify installation, while the nickel-plated screw-down terminal strip ensures secure and professional wiring connections. Compact dimensions of 14.4 x 9.9 x 12.7 inches and a lightweight design of 7 lbs make it easy to integrate into various spaces.
