Architectural Speciﬁcations | JBL Professional Control 28 specs

Horizontal 1/3 Octave Polars

Architectural Speciﬁcations:

The loudspeaker shall consist of a 200mm (8 in) low frequency trans- ducer, 25mm (1 in) high frequency transducer, and frequency dividing network installed in a ported enclosure. The low frequency voice coil shall be 32 mm (1-1/4 in) in diameter.

Performance speciﬁcations of a typical production unit shall be as fol- lows: Measured sensitivity (SPL at 1 m [3.3ft] with 2.83V input, averaged from 500 Hz to 1.5 kHz) shall be at least 92 dB-SPL. Usable frequency response shall extend from 60 Hz to 16 kHz (10 dB below rated sensitiv- ity, in half-space, with no external equalization). Nominal impedance shall be 8 ohms. The frequency dividing network shall have a crossover frequency of 2.8 kHz. Rated power capacity shall be at least 175 watts continuous program power, deﬁned as 3dB above a test signal of ﬁltered random noise conforming to international standard IEC268-5 (shaped pink noise with a peak-to-average ratio of 6dB), for 100 continuous hours duration.

The system shall be protected against damage from occassional over- powering via full range series lamps that limits the power to the net- work and transducers. The high frequency transducer shall be horn- loaded to more evenly cover a nominal 90° horizontal by 90° vertical area.

The enclosure shall be constructed of high-impact polystyrene for pro- tection against the elements in outdoor applications, and for paintability. The grille shall be completely zinc-coated for resistance against rusting, shall be bake-painted black, and shall be secured via screws to keep it in place when facing downward.

The low frequency transducer shall have a polypropelene cone and a butyl rubber surround which shall extend seamlessly over the edge of the speaker frame for protection against the elements. The high frequen- cy transducer shall be constructed of polycarbonate, reinforced with a titanium ﬁlm for additional weather resistance. The system shall with- stand Mil Spec 810 testing with speciﬁed time durations for exposure to the following environments with no effect on its acoustical performance or structural integrity: salt spray (method 509.3), temperature -19°C to 49°C (method 501.3 and 502.3), 95% humidity (method 507.3) and ultra- violet (method 505.3). The system shall have a IEC 529 splashproof rat- ing of IP-X4.

For theft deterrence, the installation access area shall be hidden behind a snap-out cover, and the access area shall be on the front of the loudspeaker for ease of installation and adjustment. The loudspeaker shall be rotatable over a minimum of ±35° in all directions via a ball- type mounting system. The ball mechanism shall be internal to the cabi- net to allow low-proﬁle mounting and better stability via a short moment arm. The logo shall be rotatable for proper orientation when the loud- speaker is mounted horizontally or vertically.

The external wiring connectors shall be spring loaded and gold plat- ed, and shall accept bare wire, single or dual banana-type connectors with 19 mm (3/4 in) spacing. Overall cabinet dimensions shall be no greater than 380 mm (15.0 in) high by 280 mm (11.0 in) wide by 220

mm(8.6 in) deep and shall weigh no more than 5.5 kg (12 lbs). The ﬁnish shall be a paintable lighly textured black.

The system shall be the JBL Model Control 28 with included

InvisiballTM mounting system.
