Description
JBL Control 52 2.5" Surface-mount Satellite Speaker, Black
The JBL Control 52 is a compact surface-mount satellite speaker built for distributed audio systems in venues, installed environments, and commercial spaces. Its small footprint and adjustable wall-mount bracket stay out of sight while delivering articulate, consistent coverage across a wide listening area. Built on JBL's professional-grade design principles, this speaker handles both conventional and high-voltage line inputs with straightforward reliability—the kind of dependable performance you need when sound is mission-critical.
Design & Build
The speaker measures just 115 x 84 x 96 mm (4.5 x 3.3 x 3.75 in), making it ideal for tight mounting situations. Its included wall-mount bracket allows up to 45° off-axis angling to direct coverage precisely where needed, and the black finish blends seamlessly into any installed space without drawing attention.
Audio Performance
The 60 mm (2.5 in) driver features a secondary bucking magnet, polypropylene cone, and vented Nomex former for controlled, distortion-free output. With 150° x 150° omnidirectional coverage and a nominal sensitivity of 85 dB (4.0V/1m = 1W), this satellite delivers clear midrange and treble across a wide listening area. The speaker operates at 16 ohms impedance and accepts both low-impedance and 70V/100V distributed line inputs, adapting to whatever system configuration your venue demands.
