The Control

®

25AV utilizes a deep

cabinet, high power components and
complex network to achieve extremely
smooth high fidelity performance from a
compact 2-way loudspeaker. 

Premium performance capability and

even coverage ensures excellent sound
quality throughout the listening area.

Magnetic shielding allows use of the

speaker in close proximity to video moni-
tors.

The top-quality transformer, with

reduced saturation, allows use on either
70 volt or 100 volt distributed speaker
lines, with similar performance fidelity. In
the bypass position, the high 8

imped-

ance allows use of more speakers on a
loudspeaker line. 

The unique, global patent pending

InvisiBall

®

mounting method is simple to

install, aims easily, and provides a high
degree of theft deterrence.

The cabinet accepts a variety of paints

to match any décor. 

Weather resistance is maximized by a

stainless steel grille, which is paintable.
Coating the woofer in polypropylene and
terminating its circumference in JBL’s

WeatherEdge

TM

, a seamless, butyl rubber

extension of the woofer surround, pro-
tects critical transducer elements. The
polycarbonate tweeter diaphragm is rein-
forced with a thin film of titanium for
added rigidity and endurance. Nickel/zinc
rust-resistant terminals ensure a secure
input connection.

JBL’s exclusive SonicGuard overload

protection is virtually inaudible to the lis-
tener, ensuring reliability while providing
full fidelity sound. 

The Control 25AV can be used full

range or low frequencies can be further
augmented with the addition of one of
the Control Contractor subwoofer models.
