JBL Control 23-1 Ultra-Compact Indoor/Outdoor Background/Foreground Speaker – Black

JBL Control 23-1 Ultra-Compact Indoor/Outdoor Speaker

The JBL Control 23-1 Ultra-Compact Indoor/Outdoor Speaker delivers high-quality audio performance in a small, unobtrusive form factor, making it ideal for spaces that require premium sound without dominating the visual environment. Part of the JBL Professional Control® Contractor series, this two-way speaker provides rich sonic character, broad frequency response, and consistent dispersion across multiple indoor and outdoor applications.

Equipped with a 3-inch woven fiberglass cone woofer, the Control 23-1 produces clear, natural midrange and controlled low-frequency output, while a 0.5-inch PEI diaphragm tweeter with fluid cooling ensures crisp and accurate high-frequency reproduction. The combination of these drivers enables a broad frequency range from 70 Hz to 20 kHz, delivering clear music and intelligible speech for foreground or background applications.

The Control 23-1 features integrated InvisiBall® mounting hardware for easy installation, with optional U-bracket and ceiling-mount adapters for flexible positioning. Its high-quality, weather-resistant enclosure and transducers allow operation in demanding environments, with IP-44 splashproof rating and compliance with MilSpec 810 for humidity, UV, and salt-spray resistance. The 100° horizontal and 100° vertical coverage ensures even sound distribution, making fewer speakers sufficient to cover a space without sacrificing performance.

This speaker is perfectly suited for retail, restaurants, fitness clubs, theme parks, educational facilities, hospitality venues, music cafes, and leisure locations requiring compact, professional-grade loudspeakers. Its high-fidelity output, reliable performance, and sleek modern design make it an ideal solution for background or foreground music and paging applications.
