Jbl Professional Control 23-1 2-way All Weather Speaker

Product Description

The JBL PROFESSIONAL CONTROL 23-1 is a 3-inch, two-way all-weather loudspeaker designed for commercial and installed-sound applications. It operates at 8 ohms for standard low-impedance configurations and also supports 70-volt and 100-volt distributed audio systems, making it a versatile choice for a single installation type. The speaker delivers full-range sound reproduction in environments where exposure to moisture, dust, or temperature variation is a concern. It is typically installed by commercial audio contractors, low-voltage technicians, or licensed electricians working on distributed sound systems.

The CONTROL 23-1 is suited for indoor and outdoor installed-sound environments including retail spaces, restaurants, hospitality venues, schools, and covered outdoor areas. Its all-weather construction allows deployment in locations where standard speakers would be inappropriate. The dual-impedance design — supporting both 8-ohm direct and 70V/100V transformer-coupled distribution — gives installers flexibility across a wide range of system architectures without requiring a separate speaker model for each application type.

Key Features

• Dual-mode operation: 8-ohm direct or 70V/100V distributed system compatible
• All-weather construction rated for challenging indoor and outdoor environments
• 3-inch two-way driver configuration for broadband frequency coverage
• Compact form factor suitable for surface-mount installed-sound applications
• Black finish for low-profile visual integration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style installed-sound speaker compatible with 8-ohm low-impedance amplifier outputs and 70-volt or 100-volt constant-voltage distributed audio systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 640 governing audio signal distribution. De-energize the amplifier and distribution system before making any speaker wiring connections. When wiring to a 70V or 100V system, verify the transformer tap setting matches the desired power level for the zone. Ensure all outdoor or semi-outdoor mounting locations provide adequate drainage and ventilation around the enclosure.
