Jbl Professional Control 85M 2-way Landscape Speaker

Product Description

The JBL PROFESSIONAL CONTROL 85M is a 2-way all-weather landscape speaker designed for permanent outdoor audio installations. Built around a 5.25-inch driver configuration, this unit delivers full-range sound reproduction in environments where moisture, temperature swings, and UV exposure would degrade lesser enclosures. It is sold as a single unit and is intended for installation by audio system integrators, low-voltage contractors, and experienced A/V technicians working on commercial or residential exterior sound systems.

This speaker is suited for outdoor landscape audio applications including garden zones, pool decks, patio areas, and commercial exterior spaces requiring distributed audio coverage. Its all-weather construction makes it appropriate for installations where the enclosure will be exposed to the elements year-round. It fits within multi-zone landscape audio systems where individual speaker placement and coverage pattern are critical to system design.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or qualified A/V integrator familiar with outdoor speaker placement and weatherproof wiring practices. Disconnect and de-energize the amplifier or audio source before making any speaker connections. Follow local electrical codes and manufacturer guidelines for burial-rated or weatherproof cable selection when routing wiring to exterior locations. Ensure mounting surfaces and hardware are appropriate for long-term outdoor exposure.
