Frequently asked questions
Which grille fits my JBL Control 300 speaker?
It depends on the driver size. If your Control 300 has a 12-inch driver, use the MTC-300SG12 (414×414 mm). If it has a 6- or 8-inch driver, the MTC-SG6/8 (340×340 mm) is the correct choice. Check your speaker specification to confirm driver diameter.
