Introduction

From a tiny loudspeaker, the JBL Professional Control 29AV-1 delivers increased voicing for very flat, high-fidelity performance, extended bandwidth, and well-controlled defined coverage. The speaker may be used vertically or horizontally thanks to the adjustable high-frequency horn. Excellent sound character is ensured by consistent coverage across the listening area. Because of the speaker’s moderate magnetic shielding, it can be placed as close as 230 mm (9) to TV monitors. The high-quality line distribution transformer enables the use of either 70V or 100V distributed speaker lines, with little insertion loss and reduced saturation. The 8 impedance allows several speakers on a loudspeaker line to be used in bypass mode. The integrated InvisiBall mounting system is simple to set up, easy to aim, and provides excellent theft protection. Up to 180 degrees of horizontal rotation is possible with invisible.

Off-axis rotation up to 41° and vertical rotation up to 36° (horn end inward) or 23° (woofer end inward). Compact installation is possible thanks to attachment points for the optional MTC-29UB U-bracket.

Key Features

• Extended bandwidth, extremely smooth frequency response.
• 110° x 85° HF coverage, rotatable horn.
• 110 Watt transformer for 70V or 100V lines, with 8Ω thru.
• SonicGuard™ overload protection.
• 200 mm (8”) Kevlar cone woofer, 25 mm (1”) titanium diaphragm compression driver.
• Includes InvisiBall™ mounting hardware, plus ten 6 mm attachment points for suspension and an optional U-bracket.
• Sealed input panel cover and screw-down input terminals.
• The Control® 29AV utilizes high-power components, a computer-optimized horn, and cabinet design, and a complex network to achieve smooth high fidelity performance, extended bandwidth, and well-controlled defined coverage from a compact loudspeaker.
• A rotatable high-frequency horn allows the use of the speaker in either vertical or horizontal orientation. Smooth frequency response and even coverage ensure excellent sound character throughout the listening area. Partial magnetic shielding allows the use of the speaker as close as 230 mm (9”) to video monitors.
• The top-quality line distribution transformer, designed for minimal insertion loss and reduced saturation, allows use of either 70V or 100V distributed speaker lines. In bypass position, the high 8Ω impedance allows the use of multiple speakers on a loudspeaker line.
• The included InvisiBall mounting method is simple to install, aims easily, and provides a high degree of theft deterrence. invisible allows horizontal rotation of up to 41° off-axis and vertical rotation of up to 36° (horn end inward) or 23° (woofer end inward). Attachment points for the optional MTC-29UB U-bracket allows for compact installation and is particularly useful for low-profile under-balcony applications.
• Weather resistance has been maximized. The woofer’s cone is made of kevlar, surround is pure butyl rubber, and the driver basket is rear loaded to minimize direct exposure. The compression driver’s diaphragm is pure titanium. The grille is thermoset composite coated and comes with foam to minimize incursion of water. Nickel/zinc rust-resistant terminals ensure a secure input connection. An MTC-PC2 sealed-entrance cover is included to further protect the speaker’s terminals. JBL’s exclusive SonicGuard overload protection is virtually inaudible to the listener, ensuring reliability while providing full fidelity sound.

Architectural Specifications

The loudspeaker shall consist of a 200 mm (8 in) low-frequency transducer, 25 mm (1 in) compression driver, and frequency dividing network. The low- frequency driver’s voice coil shall be 50 mm (2 in) in diameter.

Performance specifications of a typical unit shall be as follows: Usable frequency response shall extend from 40 Hz to 18 kHz (10 dB below rated sensitivity, half-space, no external equalization). Rated power shall be at least 300 watts continuous program power for 100 continuous hours duration (defined as 3 dB above a test signal of filtered random pink noise conforming to IEC268-5). Measured sensitivity shall be at least 91 dB-SPL (at 1 m [3.3 ft] with 2.83 V input, ave. 100 Hz to 10 kHz). The input shall be switchable for use either at nominal 8 ohms, or on a 70.7V or 100V distributed speaker line via a built-in transformer. Selectable taps shall nominally be 110W, 55W, or 28W on either a 70.7V or 100V distributed speaker line, plus 14W on 70.7V line only.

The system shall be protected against damage from occasional overpowering via full range limiting, which shall be inaudible during activation. The compression driver shall be horn-loaded to cover 110 degrees by 85 degrees with a high degree of accuracy and the horn shall be rotatable to achieve these coverages either in the horizontal or vertical planes, regardless of cabinet orientation. The cabinet and grille shall be paintable. The grille shall be secured via screws to keep it in place when facing downward.

The low-frequency transducer shall have a woven Kevlar cone and butyl rubber surround, with the frame protected from direct weather exposure. The compression driver shall be constructed with a titanium diaphragm for weather resistance. The system shall withstand Mil-Spec 810 testing with specified durations with no effect on its acoustical performance or structural integrity: salt spray (method 509.3), temperature (method 501.3 and 502.3), humidity (method 507.3), and ultraviolet (method 505.3). Further, it shall pass Mil-Std-202F (method 101D) for salt spray. The system shall have an IEC 529 splashproof rating of IP-X4. For theft deterrence, the installation access area shall be hidden behind a snap-out cover on the front grille. The included ball mechanism shall be internal to the cabinet. The cabinet shall have ten (10) 6 mm mounting points, including 2 on each side and 3 on top and bottom and an accessory U-bracket shall be available. The grille logo shall be rotatable for proper orientation with a loudspeaker mounted horizontally or vertically.

The external wiring connectors shall be screw-down terminals. Overall cabinet dimensions shall be no greater than 520 mm high x 306 mm wide x 277 mm deep (20.5 x 12.0 x 10.9 in) and shall weigh no more than 12.2 kg (26.8 lb). The finish shall be lightly textured black or white. The system shall be the JBL Model Control 29AV (or Control 29AV-WH) with included InvisiBall® (mounting system).

High-Pass Frequency Recommendations

The transformer in Control 29AV has been designed to minimize transformer saturation, however, it is recommended that when driving the transformer settings with very high signal levels, the system be high-passed to prevent excessive low-frequency content from overloading the transformer and stressing the driving amplifier. The high-pass frequency requirements vary according to the tap setting and how many speakers are connected in parallel. The following chart assumes the goal of totally eliminating all saturation, even at full- voltage (70V or 100V) peaks. You may be able to lower the high-pass frequency when operating at lower volumes. (High-pass slope is 24 dB/oct)

High-Pass Recommendations for Control 29AV

Frequently Asked Questions

• How many watts does this speaker sound loud and smooth?
  There are other factors besides how many watts will determine how loud and smooth a speaker will be. And this speaker is 70V as well as 8 Ohm. So it would depend on which way you would be running it. If you are running it at 8 Ohm, then it has a maximum capacity of 300W. If you are running it at 70V, then it’s max is 110W.

• What setting do you use?? There is a little hole on the back of the speakers to select multiple voltages or “thru”. I just want to hook up 2 speakers.?
  Depends on the amp but Most likely with just 2 speakers, you’re using a standard amp. Use the “thru” setting for a standard 8ohm load. The voltage settings are for amps that drive a high voltage signal, common for large venues that use multiple speakers.

• How outdoor proof are these speakers? I’m looking to get these for our hs baseball field. will they be to be left outside during the season?
  They will survive outdoor use. But may not be the best thing for your field. These are not meant for long throws. You might be better off with something like the Community R series, or the JBL AWC series. They are more money but will throw much farther.

• I don’t have the JVC hex wrench to tighten the invisible mount. using my own long hex wrench but can’t tighten it. is JVC’s wrench ‘special’? any ideas?

you probably can order an extra wrench but I do believe it is a special wrench and it helps with security that anyone can’t take them down.

• Can it work with a regular amplifier? I have an old Marantz 2230, 30watt rm
  You need a more powerful amplifier if you want to get the best out of these speakers. My amplifier is also old but it’s 500 watt.

• I have 4 speakers of these, I want to connect to one of the channels on my amplifier ( xl 2500 two-channel, 500w @ 4ω power amplifier) any idea how?
  Your Crown XLC2500 is actually rated down to 2 Ohms. That means that you can hook all 4 up to a single channel in parallel. But be aware that whenever you run an amp at a 2 ohm load, it will run hotter. So be sure that the airflow around the amp is very good.

• Is JBL a decent brand?
  JBL is a stalwart of the speaker industry, having been around for decades. Wireless JBL speakers have established themselves as the indisputable kings of Bluetooth speakers for the mainstream market, thanks to their continuous level of quality, waterproofing, good features, and dependable performance.

• Is JBL a noise-canceling speaker?
  With the JBL Live FREE NC+ earbuds, you can live a life free of interruptions. These earbuds are designed for life on the go, with Active Noise Cancellation and up to 21 hours of combined usage. Even when charging with the Qi- compatible wireless charging case, no wires are required
