Applications:
e Control® 23-1 is a two-way 3” speaker with rich sonic character, wide
coverage, consistent dispersion, versatile mounting, and a contemporary high-
design look that ts into a wide range of decors. is makes Control 23-1
an excellent choice for a wide variety of applications, including retail stores,
restaurants, health clubs, theme parks, educational facilities, hospitality, music
cafes, leisure venues, and anywhere where a top quality compact indoor/
outdoor foreground/background music (and/or paging) speaker is required.
e unique InvisiBall mounting hardware is included with each system,
making short work of permanent installation. e InvisiBall mounting method
provides a high degree of both vertical and horizontal rotation, and because
InvisiBall adjustments are made through a hidden access behind the logo badge,
the grille never needs to be removed. In addition, that provides a high degree
of the deterrence. Integrated M6 mounting points for an optional U-bracket
adds to the installation versatility.
e LF driver’s woven berglass cone provides durability and weather capable
performance. e light weight high-temperature Kapton™ voice coil former and
high-temperature voice coil wire ensure excellent sensitivity and high power
handling, while also providing stable performance under long-term high-power
working conditions. e pure butyl rubber surround delivers clean sound and
robust operation. JBL’s WeatherEdge™ is a seamless, rubberized extension
of the woofer surround that provides added protection to critical transducer
elements. Cone geometry is optimized for smooth frequency response and
consistent o-axis performance, while an FEA-optimized motor construction
and linear suspension spider helps to lower harmonic distortion.
e HF driver’s low viscosity ferro-magnetic uid increases voice coil cooling
for higher long-term power handling. e soened PEI diaphragm delivers a
smooth and pure high frequency sound quality. e light weight Kapton™ voice
coil former increases durability while providing better high frequency response
extension. All these factors also contribute toward making the driver especially
rugged for outdoors and other stressful applications.
In addition to the driver designs contributing toward a high degree of
weather resistance, the cabinet provides excellent endurance against sun, salt
and moisture. Grilles are heavily zinc-plated and nished in a tough, high-
grade powder coating for rust resistance. e optional MTC-23WMG-1
WeatherMax™ grilles are available for especially dicult environments and to
break up driving rain. Connection is made via weather-capable screw-down
terminals. e optional MTC-PC2 and MTC-PC3 panel covers are available
to further protect the terminal compartment, providing a water-tight sealed
gland-nut entrance (when used with round-jacketed cable within the specied
diameter range).
e speaker provides a very natural sound character. e system is capable of
handling 50 Watts continuous pink noise (100 Watts program) at its 8 ohm
setting and is also equipped with a built-in 15 Watt 70V/100V multi-tap
transformer for operation on distributed speaker lines. e combination of
high sensitivity and power handling provides high Max SPL of 103 dB.
e Control 23-1 readily accepts a variety of paints and nishes to match any
décor. Available in black or white (-WH).
