Applications
The Control 30 utilizes high power components, computer optimized horn and coaxial
component design, patent-pending cabinet manufacturing techniques, and a complex network to
achieve smooth high fidelity performance,
extended bandwidth and well-controlled, defined
coverage from a compact loudspeaker.
A symmetrical mid-high frequency horn allows
use of the speaker in either vertical or horizontal
orientation. Smooth frequency response and
cone-midrange performance ensures excellent
sound character throughout the frequency band,
over the entire listening area.
The top-quality line distribution transformer,
designed for minimal insertion loss and reduced
saturation, allows use of either 70V or 100V distributed speaker lines. In bypass position, the
8 ohm impedance allows use of multiple speakers on a loudspeaker line.
The included InvisiBall mounting method is
simple to install, aims easily and provides a high
degree of theft deterrence. InvisiBall allows horizontal rotation of up to 41° off-axis and vertical
rotation of up to 36° (horn end inward) or 23°
(woofer end inward). Attachment points for the
optional MTC-30UB (-WH) U-bracket allows for
compact installation and is particularly useful for
low profile underbalcony applications.
Weather resistance has been maximized. The
neodymium magnet LF woofer has a fiberglass
and Kevlar composite cone, the surround is pure
butyl rubber, and the basket is rear loaded to
minimize exposure. The MR cone of the coaxial
mid-high driver is anodized aluminum with a formulation EPDM rubber surround, and the HF
compression driver’s diaphragm is pure titanium.
The coaxial component is protected by an
acoustically transparent screen. The grille is thermoset composite coated and stands up very well
to UV as well as humidity. The grille is backed
with our WeatherMax multi-layer foam, which
prevents the direct incursion of water. Nickel/zinc
rust-resistant terminals ensure a secure input connection. An MTC-PC2 sealed-entrance cover is
included to further protect the speaker’s terminals.
JBL’s exclusive SonicGuard overload protection
is virtually inaudible to the listener, ensuring reliability while providing full fidelity sound.
Available in black or white (-WH), the cabinet
will accept a variety of paints to match any
décor.

Continuous Pink Noise rating is IEC-shaped pink noise with a 6 dB crest factor for 100 hours continuously. Continuous
Program Power is defined as 3 dB above the Continuous Pink Noise Rating and is a conservative expression of the system’s
ability to handle normal speech and music program material.
