A symmetrical mid-high frequency horn allows  
use of the speaker in either vertical or horizontal  
orientation. Smooth frequency response and  
cone-midrange performance ensures excellent  
sound character throughout the frequency band,  
over the entire listening area.  
The top-quality line distribution transformer,  
designed for minimal insertion loss and reduced  
saturation, allows use of either 70V or 100V dis-  
tributed speaker lines. In bypass position, the  
8 ohm impedance allows use of multiple speak-  
ers on a loudspeaker line.  
The included InvisiBall mounting method is  
simple to install, aims easily and provides a high  
degree of theft deterrence. InvisiBall allows hori-  
zontal rotation of up to 41° off-axis and vertical  
rotation of up to 36° (horn end inward) or 23°  
(woofer end inward). Attachment points for the  
optional MTC-30UB (-WH) U-bracket allows for  
compact installation and is particularly useful for  
low profile underbalcony applications.

Weather resistance has been maximized. The  
neodymium magnet LF woofer has a fiberglass  
and Kevlar composite cone, the surround is pure  
butyl rubber, and the basket is rear loaded to  
minimize exposure. The MR cone of the coaxial  
mid-high driver is anodized aluminum with a for-  
mulation EPDM rubber surround, and the HF  
compression driver’s diaphragm is pure titanium.  
The coaxial component is protected by an  
acoustically transparent screen. The grille is ther-  
moset composite coated and stands up very well  
to UV as well as humidity. The grille is backed  
with our WeatherMax multi-layer foam, which  
prevents the direct incursion of water. Nickel/zinc  
rust-resistant terminals ensure a secure input con-  
nection. An MTC-PC2 sealed-entrance cover is  
included to further protect the speaker’s termi-  
nals.  
Environmental: IEC 529 IP-X5 rating. Exceeds Mil Spec 810 for humidity, salt spray,  
temperature & UV. Passes Mil-Std-202F for salt spray.  
Termination: Screw-down terminal strip, zinc plated copper base, nickel plated  
metal screws/washers. Accepts up to 9 mm outside 4 mm inside open

Continuous Pink Noise rating is IEC-shaped pink noise with a 6 dB crest factor for 100 hours continuously. Continuous  
Program Power is defined as 3 dB above the Continuous Pink Noise Rating and is a conservative expression of the system’s  
ability to handle normal speech and music program material.  
Calculated from sensitivity and power handling, exclusive of power compression.  
Half-space, averaged 100 Hz to 10 kHz

JBL’s exclusive SonicGuard overload protection  
is virtually inaudible to the listener, ensuring reli-  
ability while providing full fidelity sound.  
Available in black or white (-WH), the cabinet  
will accept a variety of paints to match any  
décor.

Architectural Specifications:  
The loudspeaker shall consist of a 250 mm (10 in) low frequency  
transducer, a coaxial 125 mm (5 in) mid frequency transducer with a  
25 mm (1 in) compression driver, and frequency dividing network. The  
low frequency driver’s voice coil shall be 50 mm (2 in) in diameter and  
the mid frequency driver’s voice coil shall be 25 mm (1 in) in diameter.

below rated sensitivity, half-space, no external equalization). Rated  
power shall be at least 500 watts continuous program power for 100  
continuous hours duration (defined as 3 dB above a test signal of fil-  
tered random pink noise conforming to IEC268-5). Measured sensitivity  
shall be at least 93 dB-SPL (at 1m [3.3 ft] with 2.83V input, avg. 100 Hz  
to 10 kHz).

High-Pass Frequency Recommendations  
The line-matching transformer in the Control 30 has  
been designed to minimize saturation; however, it is rec-  
ommended that the system be high-passed to prevent  
very low-frequency content from overloading the trans-  
former and/or the driving amplifier at high signal levels.  
The high-pass requirements vary according to the tap  
settings and number of speakers connected in parallel.  
The following chart will eliminate risk of saturation,  
even at full voltage (70V or 100V) peaks. Reducing the  
drive voltage will enable a corresponding reduction of  
high-pass frequency (24 dB/octave high-pass slope).
