The Control
29AV-1 provides improved
voicing for extremely fl at, high fi delity
performance, extended bandwidth and
well-controlled defi ned coverage from a
compact loudspeaker.
The rotatable high-frequency horn
allows use of the speaker in either vertical
or horizontal orientation. Consistent
coverage ensures excellent sound
character throughout the listening area.
Moderate magnetic shielding allows 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 8Ω
impedance allows 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.
InvisiBall 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.
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 fi delity sound.
Available in black or white (-WH). The
cabinet will accept a variety of paints to
match any décor.
