Offering broad and targeted coverage choices for a range of indoor and outdoor commercial applications, the new speakers and subs give installers options for building new systems or augmenting existing systems. All products feature multitap transformers for use in distributed systems, and are switchable for direct operation.
“JBL’s new loudspeakers and subwoofers really check all the boxes for integrators,” says Rick Kamlet, Senior Manager, Installed Loudspeakers, HARMAN Professional Solutions. “They provide power and clarity in a range of challenging acoustic environments, and they don’t just sound great, they’re incredibly versatile. And they’re absolutely gorgeous.”
Control 68HP two-way pendant loudspeaker
The Control 68HP reportedly provides superior clarity in rooms with open-architecture ceilings, spaces with challenging acoustics and other locations requiring especially high SPL capability from a pendant loudspeaker. Its driver complement features a 200mm (8-inch) Kevlar-reinforced low-frequency driver with a high-powered 50mm (2-inch) voice coil.
SLP12/T and SLP14/T very low-profile on-wall loudspeakers
The SLP12/T and SLP14/T loudspeakers provide broad coverage for boardrooms, restaurants, retail and hospitality spaces, museums and any installation application calling for sound in a discreet, close-to-the-wall form factor. Installation uses an included slide-in wall bracket and both models are available in black or white finishes.
GSF3 and GSF6 ground-stake landscape loudspeakers
Compact, weather-resistant GSF3 (two-way coaxial 3-inch) and GFS6 (two-way coaxial 6-inch) aimable landscape loudspeakers provide ediscreet sound solutions for diverse outdoor applications, including shopping malls, theme parks, sports venues and more. Both models deliver full-range sound and can be extended further with JBL’s new GSB8 and GSB12 landscape subwoofers.
GSB8 and GSB12 in-ground landscape subwoofers
GSB8 (8-inch) and GSB12 (12-inch) in-ground (the product is actually buried in the ground, with only the port sticking out!) landscape subwoofers augment GSF landscape speakers in lawn and garden areas of hotels, shopping complexes, restaurants, public spaces, theme parks or any application that demands deeper bass. Both models extend down to 35 Hz, with a steep, multiple-slope lowpass filter.
Control 89MS above-ground landscape subwoofer
The Control 89MS is an IP56-rated subwoofer that features a long-throw 8-inch driver and augments the low-frequency performance of the JBL Control 80 Series landscape speaker line to provide full-range sound in lawn areas of hotels, restaurants and other hospitality and retail complexes.
