The Control®25T is perhaps the most
versatile of JBL Professional’s Control
Contractor Series indoor/outdoor loudspeakers. Its robust nature makes the
Control®25T a perfect choice for restaurants, health clubs, outdoor theme and
water parks or other applications where
foreground/background music and paging
are required. The Control 25T can be
used in either 70.7V or 100V distributedline sound systems. Taps are provided at
30W, 15W and 7.5W (plus a 3.7W tap for
use on 70.7V systems only).
The unique and global patent pending
InvisiBall®mounting hardware is includ-
ed 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®25T 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 25T) and
white (Control 25T-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).
