The Control
®
28 offers a rich sonic
character making it a perfect choice
for restaurants, health clubs, under
balcony, outdoor theme & water
parks, or other applications where
foreground/background music and
paging are required.
The patented
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° off-axis and
horizontal rotation of up to 44° off-
axis. Because
InvisiBall
adjustments
are made through a hidden access
behind the logo badge, the grill
never needs to be removed and there
exists a high degree of theft
deterrence as well.
The Control
®
28 readily accepts a
variety of paints and finishes to
match any decor.
Weather resistance is maximized by
coating the woofer cone in
polypropylene and terminating its
circumference in JBL’s
WeatherEdge
™, a seamless,
rubberized extension of the woofer
surround that provides added
protection to critical transducer
elements. The polycarbonate tweeter
diaphragm is reinforced with a thin
film of titanium for added rigidity and
endurance against sun, salt and
moisture. Zinc plated grilles resist
rusting in the harshest conditions.
Available in black (Control 28) and
white (Control 28-WH).
