The JBL Professional Control CRV-WH is a 150W 2 x 4-inch passive 2-way surface-mount loudspeaker designed for premium sound quality and aesthetic appeal in commercial applications. This white-finish speaker is a perfect choice for environments such as restaurants, retail stores, hotels, lounges, museums, and upscale lobbies where superior audio performance and a stylish appearance are essential. The Control CRV-WH features dual 4-inch PolyPlas woofers with 1.25-inch vented aluminum voice coils and dual neodymium magnets for high output, durability, and minimal distortion. A 0.75-inch titanium-laminate dome tweeter with Ferrofluid cooling and a shielded neodymium magnet ensures excellent high-frequency performance and reduced thermal compression. The bi-radial waveguide ensures smooth and consistent sound coverage across the listening area.
The speaker incorporates a 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, resulting in natural midrange tones and a seamless frequency response. The built-in 70V/100V transformer supports distributed loudspeaker lines with multiple tap settings (30W, 15W, 7.5W, and 3.8W at 70V) as well as 4-ohm direct capability, offering flexibility for diverse installation requirements. With a frequency range of 80 Hz to 20 kHz on-wall and 60 Hz to 20 kHz at a two-wall junction, the Control CRV-WH delivers a rich audio experience, while the nominal coverage angle of 105° horizontal by 80° vertical ensures uniform sound dispersion.
The Control CRV-WH is designed for durability and versatility, with an ABS enclosure and an IP34 environmental rating, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The curved design allows for unique installation options, including wall mounting, corner placement, or spanning wall-to-ceiling junctions. Multiple units can be clustered for customized coverage, with up to four speakers forming a 360° pendant using the optional PMB-WH pole-mount bracket. The included corner/wall-mount bracket and trim covers make installation straightforward and professional. Measuring 14.4 x 9.9 x 12.7 inches and weighing 7 lbs, the Control CRV-WH is compact, lightweight, and adaptable for a variety of spaces and applications.
