JBL Control 28-1L Pair – 8-Inch Indoor/Outdoor Speaker, Weather-Resistant, 120W, 100° x 100° Coverage

Overview

The JBL Control 28-1L is a high-output, weather‑resistant speaker designed for indoor and outdoor use. Its 8" woofer with a woven fiberglass cone and a 1" PEI diaphragm tweeter deliver clear mids and extended highs, all while maintaining a robust bass presence. This pair is engineered for foreground music, ambient sound, or paging in varied spaces, with a broad frequency range that helps voices and music feel natural whether you’re entertaining guests on a patio or guiding visitors in a venue.

Sound and coverage

With a 45 Hz to 20 kHz response and a consistent 100° x 100° dispersion, the Control 28-1L helps listeners across seating areas enjoy a balanced sound field. The 120-watt nominal (240-watt program) rating provides headroom for lively environments without sacrificing clarity, making it suitable for both residential and commercial installations.

Durability and design

The enclosure and transducers are built to withstand varied weather conditions, allowing use near pools, patios, or outdoor dining areas. A contemporary aesthetic helps the unit blend with diverse décor, from modern interiors to hospitality environments.

Mounting and installation

InvisiBall mounting hardware is built in for quick, precise aiming. An optional U-bracket (sold separately) adds mounting flexibility for walls, ceilings, or posts, enabling discreet placement while maintaining strong sound coverage.
