Jbl Professional Control 28-1L All-weather Speaker 8 Ohm

Product Description

The JBL PROFESSIONAL CONTROL 28-1L is an all-weather loudspeaker designed for both indoor and outdoor installations where reliable, consistent audio coverage is required. Rated at 8 ohms, this unit is suited for background and foreground sound distribution in commercial and light commercial environments. Licensed audio installers and AV integrators are the primary trades who specify and install this type of speaker. Its all-weather construction makes it appropriate for locations where humidity, temperature swings, and exposure to the elements are a factor in equipment selection.

The CONTROL 28-1L is used in applications such as retail spaces, restaurants, covered outdoor patios, building lobbies, and light commercial venues where distributed audio systems require dependable point-source coverage. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both background music and foreground announcement or paging applications. Its 8-ohm nominal impedance makes it compatible with standard low-impedance amplifier outputs as well as distributed audio systems when configured appropriately.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified audio-visual or low-voltage systems integrator familiar with distributed audio wiring practices. Disconnect and de-energize the amplifier or distribution system before making any speaker connections. Follow NEC guidelines for low-voltage wiring routing and enclosure requirements, particularly in outdoor or wet-location installations. Ensure the mounting surface and hardware are appropriate for the environmental conditions at the install location.
