JBL Control 29AV-1 High Output 8" Indoor/Outdoor Monitor Speaker
for Background and Foreground Commercial Sound Applications 300 Watts with 70V 100V 8 Ohm Inputs
The JBL Control 29AV-1 is an 8" two-way indoor/outdoor monitor speaker with a rotatable high-frequency horn that allows for use of the speaker in either vertical or horizontal orientation. Consistent coverage ensures excellent sound character throughout the listening area. Moderate magnetic shielding allows use of the speaker as close as 9 inches to video monitors.
The Control 29AV-1's top-quality line distribution transformer, designed for minimal insertion loss and reduced saturation, allows use of either 70V or 100V distributed speaker lines. In bypass position, the 8Ω impedance allows use of multiple speakers on a loudspeaker line.
The included InvisiBall mounting method is simple to install, aims easily and provides a high degree of theft deterrence. InvisiBall allows horizontal rotation of up to 41° off-axis and vertical rotation of up to 36° (horn end inward) or 23° (woofer end inward). Attachment points for the optional MTC-29UB U-bracket allows for compact installation.
Weather resistance has been maximized. The woofer's cone is made of Kevlar, surround is pure butyl rubber, and the driver basket is rear loaded to minimize direct exposure. The compression driver's diaphragm is pure titanium. The grille is thermoset composite coated and comes with foam to minimize incursion of water. Nickel/zinc rust-resistant terminals ensure a secure input connection. An MTC-PC2 sealed-entrance cover is included to further protect the speaker's terminals. The Control 29AV-1 carries an IEC 529 IP-X4 splashproof rating, exceeds MilSpec 810 for humidity, temperature, and UV, and passes Mil-Std-202F for salt spray.
Marine and Salt-Air Environments: While the Control 29AV-1 is weather-resistant as supplied, it is not marine-grade in its standard configuration. For marine, coastal, oceanfront, poolside, or other salt-air installations, add the optional MTC-29MK Marine Grille Kit (MTC-29MK in black, MTC-29MK-WH in white). The kit replaces the standard steel grille with a corrosion-resistant aluminum grille with WeatherMax™ backing and includes stainless steel hardware, preventing rust and protecting the speaker against moisture and salt exposure in marine environments.
JBL's exclusive SonicGuard overload protection is virtually inaudible to the listener, ensuring reliability while providing full fidelity sound.
