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/background 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 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 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 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 25) and
white (Control 25-WH).

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

Architectural Specifications:
The loudspeaker shall consist of a 135 mm (5-1/4 in) low frequency
transducer, 19 mm (3/4 in) high frequency transducer, and frequency
dividing network installed in a ported enclosure. The low frequency
voice coil shall be 25 mm (1 in) in diameter.
Performance specifications of a typical production unit shall be as follows: Measured sensitivity (SPL at 1 m [3.3ft] with 2.83V input, averaged
from 500 Hz to 1.5 kHz) shall be at least 88 dB-SPL. Usable frequency
response shall extend from 80 Hz to 16 kHz (10 dB below rated sensitivity, in half-space, with no external equalization). Nominal impedance
shall be 8 ohms. The frequency dividing network shall have a crossover
frequency of 3.0 kHz. Rated power capacity shall be at least 150 watts
continuous program power, defined as 3 dB above a test signal of filtered random noise conforming to international standard IEC268-5
(shaped pink noise with a peak-to-average ratio of 6 dB), for 100 continuous hours duration.
The system shall be protected against damage from occassional overpowering via full range series lamps that limits the power to the network
and transducers. The high frequency transducer shall be horn-loaded to
more evenly cover a nominal 90° horizontal by 90° vertical area.
The enclosure shall be constructed of high-impact polystyrene for protection against the elements in outdoor applications, and for paintability.
The grille shall be completely zinc-coated for resistance against rusting,
shall be bake-painted black, and shall be secured via screws to keep it
in place when facing downward.
The low frequency transducer shall have a polypropelene-coated cone
and a butyl rubber surround which shall extend seamlessly over the
edge of the speaker frame for protection against the elements. The high
frequency transducer shall be constructed of polycarbonate, reinforced
with a titanium film for additional weather resistance. The system shall
withstand Mil Spec 810 testing with specified time durations for exposure to the following environments with no effect on its acoustical performance or structural integrity: salt spray (method 509.3), temperature 19°C to 49°C (method 501.3 and 502.3), 95% humidity (method 507.3)
and ultra-violet (method 505.3). The system shall have a IEC 529 splashproof rating of IP-X4.
For theft deterrence, the installation access area shall be hidden
behind a snap-out cover, and the access area shall be on the front of the
loudspeaker for ease of installation and adjustment. The loudspeaker
shall be rotatable over a minimum of ±35° in all directions via a balltype mounting system. The ball mechanism shall be internal to the cabinet to allow low-profile mounting and better stability via a short moment
arm. The logo shall be rotatable for proper orientation when the loudspeaker is mounted horizontally or vertically.
The external wiring connectors shall be spring loaded and gold plated, and shall accept bare wire, single or dual banana-type connectors
with 19 mm (3/4 in) spacing. Overall cabinet dimensions shall be no
greater than 236 mm (9.3 in) high by 188 mm (7.4 in) wide by 148 mm
(5.8 in) deep and shall weigh no more than 2.3 kg (5 lbs).
The finish shall be a paintable lighly textured black.
The system shall be the JBL Model Control 25 with included
Invisiball
®
mounting system.
