Applications:

The Control® 25AV-LS is built on the
same platform as our popular Control 25AV
and is UL 1480 UUMW Listed for use in fire
alarm and/or emergency communication
systems. The Control 25AV-LS 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.

A top-quality, low saturation transformer,
enables the loudspeaker to be used on
either 70 volt or 100 volt distributed speaker
lines, with similar fidelity performance to the
8 ohm bypass position.

The patented InvisiBall
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 utilizing an aluminum grille featuring
polyester powder coating and liquid-tight
MTC-PC2 terminal covers.

Coating the woofer cone in polypropylene
and terminating its circumference in
JBL’s WeatherEdge
rubber extension of the woofer surround,
protects critical transducer elements.
The polycarbonate tweeter diaphragm is
reinforced with a thin film of titanium for
added rigidity and endurance. Nickel/zinc
rust-resistant terminals ensure a secure
input connection.

Continuous Pink Noise rating is IEC-shaped pink noise with a 6 dB crest factor for 100 hours continuously. Continuous Program power is aconservative expression of the system’s ability

to handle normal speech and music program material, and is defined as 3 dB above the Continous Pink Noise Rating. JBL continually engages in research related to product improvement.
Changes introduced into existing products without notice are an expression of that philosophy.
