Add a pair of JBL Control 1 Pro loudspeakers to your room and you get a high-performance, compact sound system that's wonderfully powerful, punchy, and perfect for home theaters, video games, DAW editing, audio-visual applications, and more. Providing pure JBL performance in a space-saving form factor, the two-way Control 1 Pro is lightweight yet rugged, and it's easy to mount in corners, against a wall, or any other flat surface. Especially suitable for near-field applications in cramped spaces like offices and budget studios, JBL's Control Pro 1 is there to deliver high-end sound wherever you need it.

Professional Drivers to Drive Any Audio

The 150-Watt Control 1 Pro features an updated crossover network coupled with professional drivers -- a 5.25-inch woofer and a 0.75-inch polycarbonate dome tweeter -- a design that provides a wide frequency response for consistently excellent performance throughout the listening area.

Thanks to JBL's SonicGuard overload protection, massive overloads or clipping won't affect the sound quality of these Control 1 Pro loudspeakers. Turn up the volume and rest easy knowing that SonicGuard offers full-range power limiting to protect the network and transducers.

OK to Use Near Video Monitors

The two-way loudspeaker's molded enclosure houses magnetically shielded transducers, which allow you to use the Control 1 Pro with video and computer monitors, or other magnetically sensitive equipment, without getting visual distortion or read more damage resulting from prolonged exposure. Whether you're editing videos, working with your DAW, or playing games instead of working, both your video and audio will come through as they should.

Quick Installation

The Control 1 Pro comes with a wallmount ball-and-socket bracket that makes it easy to secure the speaker against a wall or other flat surface. If you don't feel like mounting it, no problem -- these JBL speakers are compact enough to sit on their own without taking up too much desk or shelf real estate.

Sound
For a small speaker, the response curve and range is pretty good.
Features
The range of brackets available to mount these is exceptional.
Ease of Use
Plug and play.
Quality
Solid and reliable. I've owned 2 pair for 25 years and I've blown 3 speaker cones in that entire time. And it was due to crappy movie audio. You know the type... whisper quiet dialog causing you to turn the volume way up followed by some massively loud, speaker killing sound. Even so, they handled t hat well for years, but the cones get dry and brittle with age, which is to be expected. I'd buy more in a heart beat.
Value
sound quality per dollar is great.
Manufacturer Support
Never had any problems other than blowing some cones after 20 years. Cost about $35 a speaker to fix.
