JBL Control 31-WH 10" 2-Way Premium High-Output Monitor Speaker
The Control 31-WH is a professional-grade surface-mount loudspeaker built for live sound operators and venue managers who need dependable high output across diverse spaces. Its compact footprint and symmetrical coverage pattern deliver consistent reinforcement whether you're covering a small performance venue, retail or hospitality space, or outdoor installation—all without demanding excessive cabinet real estate or complex rigging.
Audio Performance
This speaker handles 250W of passive power with a maximum SPL of 123 dB peak and 116 dB continuous at 1 meter, making it suitable for medium-to-large coverage areas. The 92 dB sensitivity means you get efficient output without pushing your amplifier hard, while the frequency response of 42Hz–14kHz (±3 dB) covers the critical midrange and vocal clarity essential for speech, music, and general program material on a live stage or in a fixed installation.
Design & Build
The speaker features a 10-inch woven fiberglass cone low-frequency driver with a 2-inch high-temperature fiberglass voice coil and pure butyl rubber surround built to survive road use and repeated cycling. The 1-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver with patented design and fluid cooling ensures consistent high-frequency reproduction without distortion across long-running events, while the UV-resistant white finish resists yellowing and stands up to outdoor weathering and touring conditions.
