Description
JBL C1PRO-WH Control 1 Pro White
The JBL Control 1 Pro is a compact, magnetically shielded nearfield monitor built for control rooms, studios, and professional installations where space and accuracy matter equally. These speakers deliver professional-grade monitoring in a footprint small enough to fit tight mixing environments without sacrificing sonic integrity. The included mounting bracket assembly makes placement flexible and secure.
Audio Performance
With a 5" woofer and 0.75" dome tweeter separated by a 4.2 kHz crossover, the Control 1 Pro maintains a flat response of 100 Hz – 18 kHz (±3 dB) that extends down to 80 Hz at -10 dB, offering surprising low-end reach for its size. The 150 W power capacity and 108 dB continuous / 114 dB peak maximum SPL provide headroom for accurate mixing at professional monitoring levels, while 87 dB SPL sensitivity at 1 W ensures efficient operation across a wide range of input levels.
Design & Build
Housed in a compact white enclosure measuring 235 × 159 × 143 mm and weighing just 1.8 kg per unit, the Control 1 Pro integrates into tight control room setups without taking up real estate. The professional crossover network with full-range SonicGuard overload protection guards against clipping and transient damage, while magnetic shielding prevents interference with nearby video monitors or sensitive equipment—essential for broadcast and post-production facilities where equipment density is high.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size room is the Control 1 Pro designed for?
The Control 1 Pro is optimized for compact control rooms, project studios, and small mixing environments. Its nearfield design is meant to be placed close to the listening position—typically 3 to 5 feet away—so it works well in tight spaces and doesn't require a large room to perform accurately.
Can I use these for live sound or larger venues?
No; the Control 1 Pro is designed for studio monitoring, broadcast, and post-production work. It is not suited for live performance or large venue PA applications, where you would need speakers with higher SPL output and different acoustic characteristics.
What's included with the Control 1 Pro?
Each unit comes with a professional mounting bracket assembly for flexible placement on stands, shelves, or wall installation. You will need to provide audio cables and a power source compatible with the speaker's input connections.
How does the magnetic shielding benefit my setup?
Magnetic shielding prevents the speaker from interfering with nearby video monitors, broadcast equipment, and other sensitive electronics—a critical feature in broadcast facilities and professional post-production control rooms where multiple pieces of gear operate in close proximity.
Will the Control 1 Pro have enough low-end response for accurate mixing?
Yes; the speaker delivers a flat response down to 100 Hz and extends to 80 Hz at -10 dB, giving you solid low-frequency information for mixing. For sub-bass work below 80 Hz, pairing it with a dedicated subwoofer is recommended.
