The Control 25 is perhaps the most
versatile of JBL Professional’s Control
Contractor Series indoor/outdoor
loudspeakers. Its robust nature makes
the Control 25 a perfect choice for
restaurants, health clubs, outdoor
theme and water parks or other
applications where foreground/back-
ground music and paging are
required.
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° off-axis and hor-
izontal 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 deter-
rence as well.
The Control 25 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 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 25) and
white (Control 25-WH).
