The Control
®
28T is the largest of
JBL Professional’s Control Contractor
Series indoor/outdoor loudspeakers.
Its rich sonic character makes the
Control
®
28T a perfect choice for
restaurants, health clubs, under bal-
cony, outdoor theme & water parks,
or other applications where fore-
ground/background music and pag-
ing are required. The Control 28T can
be used in either 70.7V or 100V
distributed-line sound systems. Taps
are provided at 60W, 30W and 15W
(plus a 7.5W tap for use on 70.7V
systems only).
The unique
InvisiBall
mounting
hardware is included in each system
and makes short work of permanent
installation. The InvisiBall mounting
method adds the benefit of vertical
rotation of up to ±37° and horizontal
rotation of up to ±44°. Because
InvisiBall
adjustments are made
through a hidden access behind the
logo badge, the grill never needs to
be removed, while providing a high
degree of theft deterrence as well.
Weather resistance is maximized by
coating the woofer cone in
polypropylene and terminating its cir-
cumference in JBL’s
WeatherEdge
™, a
seamless, rubberized extension of the
woofer surround that provides added
protection to critical transducer ele-
ments. The polycarbonate tweeter
diaphragm is reinforced with a thin
film of titanium for added rigidity and
endurance against sun, salt and mois-
ture. Zinc plated grilles resist rusting
in the harshest conditions.
Available in black (Control 28T-60) and white (Control 28T-60-WH). The
Control
®
28T readily accepts a variety of paints and finishes to match any
decor.
