Superb sound quality

Overview:

The Control CRV brings high design and
versatility to commercial applications such
as restaurants, retail stores, lounges, theme
bars, music cafes, hotels, boardrooms,
boutiques, museums, leisure venues,
outdoors, upscale lobbies, and other
foreground and background music and
paging applications that require a
fashionable look with superb sound quality.

Dual 100 mm (4 in) woofers feature
Polyplas™ cones for durability, large 32 mm
(1½ in) voice coils wound on vented
aluminum formers for high power handling,
and dual neodymium magnets for high
output with low harmonic distortion. The 19
mm (¾ in) tweeter features a titanium­laminate dome tweeter, a shielded
neodymium magnet, and Ferrofluid
for maximum power handling and reduced
thermal compression. A bi-radial waveguide
reduces high frequency variations in the
frequency response across the listening area.
The advanced high-slope crossover network
(36 dB per octave high-pass to the tweeter
and 18 dB per octave low-pass to the
woofers) provides natural midrange sound
quality along with smooth pattern coverage
in the crossover region.

JBL Control CRV speakers are exceedingly
versatile, with multiple installation
possibilities. The JBL Control CRV speaker
can be wall-mounted aimed straight out
from the wall, angled down at a 45° aiming
axis, mounted spanning the junction of a
wall and ceiling, or spanning the junction of
a wall and another wall. At a junction, the
unique curved shape of the speaker couples
well with both boundary surfaces, forming a
dual ground plane configuration which
increases the acoustic length of the speaker,
providing additional spaciousness to the
sound character and increased bass output.
In addition, two or three Control CRV
speakers can be joined together to create
loudspeaker solutions for a wide variety of
coverage, appearance and mounting
requirements. Using the optional PMB pole­mount bracket, four speakers can be joined
together and suspended by a ceiling fan
pole to form a cluster module with 360°
horizontal coverage.
