Its compact, low-profile design allows it to blend seamlessly into landscaping, shrubbery and garden areas whilst its distinctive 360° horizontal and 160° vertical coverage pattern ensures even, consistent sound distribution across the entire surrounding listening space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSuitable for hotels, casinos, pool areas, shopping malls, theme parks, sports venues, resorts, restaurants, hospitality and leisure venues, entranceways and any outdoor environment where high-quality background music or paging capability is required, the Control 85M combines premium JBL acoustic performance with the rugged weather resistance and practical installation features demanded by professional outdoor AV installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExceptional Weather Resistance \u0026amp; Durable Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Control 85M is built to withstand the most demanding outdoor environments with confidence. The tough hunter green Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) enclosure — rated UL94V-0 for fire resistance — resists damage from lawn care equipment and the elements, with the green colour extending throughout the material so the speaker maintains its appearance even when scraped or scratched. The powder-coated stainless steel grille resists rusting, and all external hardware is stainless steel for long-term corrosion resistance. The speaker carries an IP56 rating per IEC529 — dust protected and protected against strong jets of water — and exceeds MilSpec 810 for humidity, salt spray, temperature and UV resistance, as well as passing Mil-Std-202F for salt spray. The two-part enclosure opens with a twist for wiring access and closes securely, with the bottom base section forming a fully isolated chamber that keeps both the speaker drivers and transformer highly isolated from moisture ingress. Two stages of gland nuts — one mounted on the outside of the enclosure and one positioned between the base and speaker sections — maintain a water-tight seal when used with round-jacketed cable between 4.0mm and 9.0mm outside diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePremium 2-Way Driver Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Control 85M features a 135mm (5.25\") low-frequency driver with a Kapton former, 35.5mm (1.4\") voice coil, polypropylene cone and polyurethane surround — all materials chosen specifically for high power handling, superior moisture resistance and long-term reliability in outdoor environments. The 19mm (0.75\") high-frequency driver utilises a Polyetherimide (PEI) dome for high rigidity, strength and high-temperature resistance, with a SonicGuard protected HF driver for long-term reliability during occasional overdriving. A high-slope 2nd order crossover on both the low and high frequency sections provides natural sonic character and smooth driver integration across the 55Hz to 18kHz frequency range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100V Line \u0026amp; Low Impedance Flexibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Control 85M incorporates a high-quality 30W multi-tap transformer for use on 70V or 100V distributed loudspeaker lines, with tappings at 30W, 15W, 7.5W and 3.8W at 70V, and 30W, 15W and 7.5W at 100V — providing comprehensive flexibility for integration into large-scale distributed audio systems. A switchable 8 Ohm direct voice-coil setting provides 80W continuous pink noise (160W program, 320W peak) power handling for direct amplifier connection in smaller systems. Insertion loss is less than 1.0dB at any tap setting for clean, accurate audio across the distributed system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical Installation Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Control 85M's two-part twist-open enclosure allows the bottom base section to be pre-installed and wired before the top speaker section is attached — simplifying installation significantly. Multiple locations on the bottom and sides of the enclosure accommodate the installer-supplied gland nut, installed via a 22mm diameter hole drilled in the chosen location. Three attachment points on the bottom section allow the speaker to be secured to the ground via third-party ground stakes. The speaker is UL certified per UL1480 for outdoor wet locations and carries CSA certification. Wire nuts, gland nuts and a security screwdriver are included in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1900\" data-start=\"1681\"\u003eJBL Control 85M Key Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5.25\" 2-Way Weather-Resistant Landscape Speaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professional-grade mushroom-style landscape speaker for outdoor music and paging applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e360° Horizontal \/ 160° Vertical Coverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnidirectional coverage pattern for even, consistent sound distribution across the entire surrounding listening space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP56 Rated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dust protected and protected against strong jets of water for reliable outdoor installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExceeds MilSpec 810:\u003c\/strong\u003e Humidity, salt spray, temperature and UV resistance for the most demanding outdoor environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e80W Continuous Pink Noise \/ 160W Program (8 Ohm):\u003c\/strong\u003e Robust power handling for professional outdoor audio applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e30W 70V\/100V Multi-Tap Transformer:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70V tappings at 30W, 15W, 7.5W and 3.8W \/ 100V tappings at 30W, 15W and 7.5W for large-scale distributed system integration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitchable 8 Ohm Direct Operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flexible low-impedance operation for direct amplifier connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSonicGuard HF Driver Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long-term HF driver reliability from occasional overdriving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e55Hz–18kHz Frequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wide, full-range frequency response for high-quality music and speech reproduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHighlighted Mid-Range Presence:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cuts through high ambient noise environments for especially clear paging and voice content.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTough LDPE Polyethylene Enclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Impact-resistant, colour-through construction that maintains appearance even when scratched — rated UL94V-0.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowder-Coated Stainless Steel Grille:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rust-resistant grille and all-stainless hardware for long-term outdoor durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-Stage Gland Nut Water Sealing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double water ingress protection for highly weather-tight cable entry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwist-Open Two-Part Enclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-install base section before attaching speaker section for simplified installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGround Stake Attachment Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three attachment points for securing to the ground via third-party ground stakes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUL1480 Certified:\u003c\/strong\u003e For outdoor wet locations, fire alarm, emergency and commercial use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHunter Green Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blends naturally into landscaping, shrubbery and garden environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWire Nuts, Gland Nuts \u0026amp;
