JBL CONTROL HST Datasheet

Wide-Coverage Speaker with 5-1/4" LF, Dual Tweeters and

Control HST

Professional Series

Key Features:

c HST Hemispherical Soundﬁeld Technology™

(patent-pending):

• Provides extremely wide horizontal coverage that approaches 180°, covering a greater area with fewer speakers.

c • Reduces the primary wall reﬂection, resulting in

a ﬂat frequency response and consistent sound character at all listening positions.

c Components: 5-1/4" CMMD woofer and two

splayed ¾" ﬂuid-cooled tweeters.

c 100 Watt power handling in direct 8Ω setting, plus

built-in 60 Watt 70V/100V multi-tap transformer.

c High ﬁdelity sound character with broad

frequency response of 50 Hz – 20 kHz.

c Indoor/outdoor; black or white (-WH) color.

Applications:

The Control HST utilizes JBL’s patent-pending Hemispherical Soundﬁeld Technology™ to achieve extremely wide coverage of the listening space along with eliminating the primary wall reﬂection that tends to cause inconsistent sound when speakers are attached to a wall. The wide hemispherical soundﬁeld covers from wall to wall, allowing a single speaker to provide high-ﬁdelity full-range sound to a large listening area. This can reduce the number of speakers needed for covering a space, lowering the overall cost for a sound system.

The patent-pending design includes a wall-facing woofer, two horizontally splayed tweeters, a wall bracket that spaces the speaker the required distance from the wall, and a tapered cabinet that provides proper loading and dispersion of the sound. With most on-wall (surface-mount) speakers, the bafﬂe of the speaker is some distance from the wall. It is the nature of low and low-mid frequency sound waves to wrap around the speaker, where they reﬂect back out from the wall, recombining with the original sound. When this occurs, some frequencies add coherently to the original sound and other frequencies cancel, causing peaks and dips in the resulting frequency response and inconsistencies from location to location within the listening space. By substantially reducing this occurrence, Control HST is able to provide a ﬂatter resulting frequency response along with a more consistent sound character throughout the room.

Control HST is ideal for a wide variety of applications, including retail stores, restaurants, corridors, educational facilities, hospitality, music cafes, leisure venues, upscale lobbies, and other background/foreground music and paging applications. The IP-54 outdoor capability also makes it suitable for applications where an outdoor capable speaker is required.

The well-damped woofer incorporates a CMMD ceramic metal matrix diaphragm for a very high stiffness-to-weight ratio, high output, resistance to humidity and long-term durability. The dual tweeters feature aluminum diaphragms with a CMMD treat, polyurethane surround, a neodymium magnet, and ﬂuid-cooling for high output, low distortion and humidity resistance.

The system is capable of handling 100 Watts, and is equipped with a 60W 70V/100V multitap transformer. Connection is made via a 4-pin phoenix-type removable locking connector which also includes loop-thru terminals for connecting in parallel to another speaker.

A heavy-duty weather-capable zinc-rich, thick powder coated U-bracket is included. The speaker must be installed on its U-bracket for proper spacing to the wall. Do not mount the speaker directly in the corner of a room or onto a pole. It requires a wall surface in order to work properly.

Outdoor capability is enhanced by the painted aluminum grille that eliminates rusting, ABS with 10% Glass Fill cabinet, and weather-resistant drivers. The speaker is sealed-type (non-ported).
