JBL Control 29AV-1 8" 2-Way 300W Indoor/Outdoor Loudspeaker (Single, Black)
Key Features
  • Passive Design, Magnetic Shielding
  • 8" Woofer, 1" HF Driver, Rotatable Horn
  • 300W Continuous Program Power Capacity
  • For 70V/100V or 8-Ohm Power Amplifiers
The black 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.

Great speaker for my house terrace... Planning on driving the neighbors berserk. Speakers sound fairly lively with decent bass. Will do the trick.
