The Control

®

28 is the largest of

JBL Professional’s Control Contractor

Series indoor/outdoor loudspeakers.

Its rich sonic character makes the

Control

®

28 a perfect choice for

restaurants, health clubs, under bal-

cony, outdoor theme & water parks,

or other applications where fore-

ground/background music and pag-

ing are required.

The unique and global patent

pending InvisiBall ™ mounting hard-

ware is included in each system and

makes short work of permanent

installation. The InvisiBall™ mounting

method adds the benefit of vertical

rotation of up to 37° off-axis and hor-

izontal rotation of up to 44° off-axis.

Because InvisiBall ™ adjustments are

made through a hidden access

behind the logo badge, the grill

never needs to be removed and there

exists a high degree of theft deter-

rence as well.

The Control

®

28 readily accepts a

variety of paints and finishes to

match any decor.

Weather resistance is maximized by

coating the woofer cone in

polypropylene and terminating its cir-

cumference in JBL’s WeatherEdge™, a

seamless, rubberized extension of the

woofer surround that provides added

protection to critical transducer ele-

ments. The polycarbonate tweeter

diaphragm is reinforced with a thin

film of titanium for added rigidity and

endurance against sun, salt and mois-

ture. Zinc plated grilles resist rusting

in the harshest conditions.

Available in black (Control 28) and

white (Control 28-WH).
