JBL Professional Offers Unique Combination of High Design, 70V/100V Transformer And Weather Resistance In Control® CRV Loudspeaker

Providing remarkable versatility for a broad scope of applications, JBL Professional is introducing the Control® CRV loudspeaker at InfoComm 09. The Control CRV offers numerous mounting options and a wide range of configurations, providing an endless variety of solutions in terms of coverage, appearance and mounting.

Immediately noticeable is the Control CRV's unique, contemporary, quarter-round design that makes a modern design statement, adding to any venue's visual aesthetics in either a wall-mounted or corner-mounted configuration. In addition, this sleek appearance serves a notable functional purpose, as the Control CRV is combinable into half-round, three-quarter-round or a full, 360-degree round arc cluster that is suspendable from the ceiling via a fan pole assembly. A single Control CRV mounted at a wall-wall or wall-ceiling junction physically curves across the junction, acoustically coupling with the adjacent surfaces, widening the sound field, and producing an increased sense of sonic spaciousness.

A multi-tap, 30-Watt transformer allows for use on 70V or 100V distributed speaker lines, providing the capability to run multiple speakers on a single amplifier channel as well as individual level taps for each speaker and the ability to be connected via long jbl_crv.jpgcable runs. Available in either black or white, both models have a high level of weather resistance, allowing the speakers to be located either indoors or outdoors. The Control CRV is ideal for a wide variety of professional applications such as retail stores, restaurants, music cafes, outdoor patios, hotels, and anywhere that a high design loudspeaker with a 70V/100V transformer and indoor/outdoor capability is required.

The 75 Watts continuous pink noise power handling (300 Watts peak) and dual 4-inch Polyplasâ„¢ woofers provide superb sound quality, offering a frequency range of 80 Hz-20 kHz.

“With the Control CRV, the contemporary design, configurability — and of course, excellent sound quality — give designers and integrators a great range of versatility from one loudspeaker,” said Rick Kamlet, Senior Director, Commercial Installed Sound, JBL Professional.
