DETAILS
JBL Control 23-1 compact 3" wall speakers with InvisiBall® mounting system for high-quality indoor & outdoor applications.
The JBL Control 23-1 is a high-performance, compact two-way surface-mount loudspeaker designed for indoor and outdoor installations where high-quality sound and discreet aesthetics are essential.
Supplied in pairs and available in black or white, these speakers deliver rich, natural audio with wide 100° x 100° coverage, making them an ideal choice for background and foreground music, paging, and AV applications.
Thanks to JBL’s InvisiBall® mounting hardware, the Control 23-1 is quick and simple to install. This unique bracket system allows precise vertical and horizontal adjustment without removing the grille, keeping installation neat while providing theft deterrence. The speaker also includes integrated M6 mounting points for use with an optional U-bracket where required.
Engineered for reliability, the Control 23-1 features a weather-resistant enclosure, woven fiberglass cone woofer, and JBL’s WeatherEdge™ protection for outdoor durability. The zinc-plated, powder-coated grille is built to resist rust, and optional WeatherMax™ grilles and panel covers are available for more extreme environments. A built-in multi-tap transformer makes the speaker compatible with 70V/100V distributed audio systems, or it can be run in low-impedance (8Ω) mode for direct connection to an amplifier.
Compact yet powerful, the Control 23-1 is suitable for a wide range of commercial installations including retail stores, restaurants, cafes, hotels, health clubs, theme parks, education facilities, and leisure venues.
