Built-In Low-Pass Crossover

The built-in low-pass crossover features a dual-slope filter that begins with a gentle slope at the crossover frequency and transitions to a steeper slope at higher frequencies. This creates a balanced subwoofer transition whether the speaker is driven from a full-range amplifier channel or a dedicated subwoofer amplifier channel.

Flexible 70V/100V & 8-Ohm Operation

The premium-grade dedicated subwoofer-band multi-tap transformer, with tap selector and 8-ohm bypass, allows the JBL Control 89MS to be used in 70V and 100V distributed systems or driven directly at low impedance for maximum versatility.

IP56-Rated Weather Resistance

The JBL Control 89MS is IP56-rated to withstand the elements, with a tough polyethylene enclosure and a fully sealed center wiring chamber. The enclosure color extends throughout the cabinet, helping the speaker maintain its color even when scraped or scratched.

Stainless Steel Hardware & Grille

All external hardware is stainless steel, and the powder-coated stainless steel grille resists rusting for long-term outdoor durability.

Twist-Open Two-Part Enclosure

The two-part enclosure is designed to open with a twist for wiring and then close securely with the included security screw. The bottom base section can be preinstalled and wired before the top speaker section is installed.

Weather-Tight Isolated Base Chamber

When assembled, the bottom base section becomes a fully isolated chamber, and the wiring/speaker chamber is further sealed by a water-tight bulkhead. This helps keep the speaker and transformer highly isolated from the possibility of intruding moisture.

Water-Tight Cable Sealing

Multiple locations on the bottom and sides are provided for mounting the exterior gland nut, installed by drilling a 22 mm / 0.875 in / 7/8 in diameter hole in the chosen location. A second interior gland nut is positioned in the bulkhead between the bottom base and top speaker sections to keep the speaker system highly weather tight.

Round-Jacketed Cable Compatibility

Included gland nuts maintain a water-tight seal only when used with round-jacketed cable with an outside diameter between 4.0 and 9.0 mm / 0.16 and 0.35 in.

Ground-Stake Mounting Capability

The Control 89MS can be secured to the ground via third-party ground stakes using the three attachment points that extend out from the bottom section of the speaker.

Long-Throw 8-Inch Subwoofer Driver

The 200 mm / 8-inch long-throw subwoofer driver features a waterproof, highly corrosion-resistant polypropylene cone and a long-excursion, corrosion-resistant TPV surround.

High-Power Voice Coil Construction

A large 50 mm / 2-inch voice coil on a glass fiber coil former provides high power handling and superior long-term reliability.
