Jbl Professional Control 23-1L 3 in 2-way Surface Mount Speaker

Product Description

The JBL PROFESSIONAL CONTROL 23-1L is a 3-inch, 2-way surface mount loudspeaker rated at 8 ohms. Designed for on-wall installation in commercial and residential audio applications, it delivers full-range sound reproduction from a compact enclosure. The speaker mounts directly to a wall or ceiling surface without requiring in-wall cutouts, making it well suited for spaces where recessed installation is not practical. Audio contractors, AV integrators, and commercial sound installers are the primary trades working with this unit.

The CONTROL 23-1L fits distributed audio systems in retail environments, hospitality venues, offices, houses of worship, and similar commercial spaces. Its compact 3-inch driver configuration is appropriate for near-field listening zones, background music systems, and paging applications where a low-profile speaker is required. The surface-mount design allows installation on most finished wall and ceiling surfaces without structural modification.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed AV integrator or low-voltage contractor. Disconnect and de-energize the amplifier or audio distribution system before making speaker connections. Secure the enclosure to a structurally sound wall or ceiling surface using fasteners appropriate for the substrate material. Wiring practices should follow NEC Article 640 for audio signal cable in commercial installations.
