Description
JBL Control HST-WH 5.25" Wide Coverage On-wall Speaker, White
The Control HST-WH is a compact, professional-grade on-wall speaker built for installation in commercial spaces, retail environments, and distributed audio systems where even coverage and mounting simplicity matter. Its shallow profile and included color-matched U-bracket make it straightforward to integrate into any interior without requiring extensive engineering. The wide horizontal and vertical coverage pattern delivers consistent output across large listening areas, making it reliable for venues that need dependable background and foreground audio without fuss.
Design & Installation
This speaker mounts flush to any wall with the included U-bracket, and its compact footprint (14.25 x 10.1 x 7.2 inches) fits cleanly into tight spaces without bulk. The IP54 and Mil-Std-810 ratings provide protection against moisture, humidity, and environmental stress—essential for retail, hospitality, and semi-outdoor applications where gear lives through real-world conditions night after night.
Audio Performance & Power
Built with a 5.25" CMMD woofer and dual fluid-cooled ¾" tweeters, the HST-WH delivers clean midrange and articulate highs across a 50 Hz–20 kHz frequency response with 88 dB sensitivity. The integrated 60-watt 70V/100V multi-tap transformer and 100W system power rating (400W peak) handle both line-level and high-impedance installations, while 108 dB maximum SPL with peaks to 114 dB ensures adequate output for medium to large rooms without breaking a sweat during performances and events.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does IP54 and Mil-Std-810 rating mean for this speaker?
IP54 protects against dust and water splash, while Mil-Std-810 certification ensures the speaker withstands environmental stress including humidity and temperature swings. These ratings make the HST-WH suitable for retail, hospitality, and semi-outdoor installations where standard speakers would fail.
Does this speaker work with both 70V and 100V systems?
Yes. The built-in 60-watt multi-tap transformer supports both 70V and 100V line-level installations, making it flexible for different distributed audio system designs.
What is the coverage pattern and how does it work in large rooms?
The 160 x 150° wide horizontal and vertical coverage pattern delivers consistent output across large listening areas. The speaker reaches 108 dB SPL (peaks to 114 dB) and handles up to 100W system power, suitable for medium to large commercial spaces.
