About the JBL CONTROL 30 Three-Way High Output Indoor / Outdoor Monitor Speaker

The JBL CONTROL 30 is a high-output, three-way monitor speaker engineered for professional sound reinforcement in demanding indoor and outdoor applications. This robust system distinguishes itself with a three-way transducer design, incorporating an 8-inch low-frequency driver, a 5-inch midrange cone, and a 1-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver, each dedicated to a specific portion of the audio spectrum. This configuration allows for exceptional power handling, reduced intermodulation distortion, and superior sonic clarity compared to typical two-way designs, making it suitable for use as a stage monitor, a primary loudspeaker in small to medium venues, or a high-fidelity source for foreground music in challenging environments like outdoor stages, athletic facilities, and transportation terminals.

The speaker's performance is anchored by its controlled directivity and high sensitivity. The 1-inch compression driver is mounted on a wide-dispersion horn, ensuring clear, detailed high-frequency projection, while the dedicated midrange driver delivers exceptional vocal intelligibility and mid-band presence critical for monitoring and speech. The 8-inch woofer provides substantial low-end punch and extension. Built to endure rigorous use, the enclosure is constructed from UV-stabilized, high-impact polypropylene and features a corrosion-resistant, powder-coated steel grille, offering reliable protection against moisture, temperature extremes, and physical impact. This durable construction qualifies it for permanent outdoor installation where weather resistance is paramount.

Designed for versatile deployment, the CONTROL 30 includes multiple integrated mounting points, allowing it to be positioned as a stage wedge, mounted on a pole, or installed on a wall or ceiling. Its balanced sonic output and high maximum SPL make it a powerful tool for performers to hear themselves clearly on stage, while its weather-resistant design ensures reliability for permanent outdoor installations. By combining the sonic advantages of a three-way design with a rugged, all-weather build, the JBL CONTROL 30 provides audio professionals with a versatile and powerful speaker solution capable of delivering pristine, high-impact sound in the most demanding indoor and outdoor settings.
