Product Overview

JBL Control 29AV-1 Overview

The white JBL Control 29AV-1 is a passive 8" shielded loudspeaker with a low-saturation transformer designed for voice amplification and foreground music reproduction in a variety of indoor and outdoor venues. The 110W transformer allows the Control 29AV-1 to be driven by 70V, 100V, or 8-Ohm power amplifiers (available separately). Each Control 29AV-1 is equipped with a durable 8" Kevlar-cone woofer and a 1" titanium-diaphragm compression driver, yielding a frequency response of 43 Hz to 15 kHz, and a continuous program power capacity of 300W. With a rotatable horn, the loudspeaker supports positioning for horizontal or vertical orientation.

The built-in crossover network ensures proper frequency distribution to the speaker components as well as smooth tone. SonicGuard circuitry protects against damage incurred through overloading without compromising sound quality. The screw-down terminal strip enables simple wiring, and utilizes nickel/zinc terminals for enhanced resistance to rust. The supplied InvisiBall mounting system and input panel cover contributes to ease of installation. Thanks to judicious magnetic shielding, the Control 29AV-1 may be placed as close as 9" to video monitors.

High-impact polystyrene enclosure with moderate magnetic shielding for positioning as close as 9" to video monitors

Included InvisiBall mounting system is simple to install, aims easily, and provides a high degree of theft deterrence

110° x 85° high-frequency coverage with a rotatable horn

Low-saturation 110W transformer with low insertion loss enables use with 70V/100V constant-voltage systems, and offers a bypass position for use in an 8-Ohm setup

300W continuous program power handling

Durable 8" woofer with Kevlar cone and pure butyl surround

1" compression driver with pure titanium diaphragm and diamond surround

43 Hz to 15 kHz frequency response (± 3 dB), 37 Hz to 18 kHz frequency range (-10 dB)

Crossover network with 18 dB/octave high-pass filter and 12 dB/octave low-pass filter

Screw-down terminal strip—with zinc-plated copper base and nickel-plated metal screws/washers—accepts up to 9mm outside and 4mm inside open lug (#6, #8 or #10), plus bare wire (up to 12 AWG)

Aurally transparent SonicGuard circuitry features full-range power limiting to protect network and transducers, plus an internal fuse to protect during exceptional overload conditions

Includes MTC-PC2 input panel cover to further protect speaker terminals
