Choosing between JBL families

Installed ceiling and column speakers

For offices, retail and hotels, JBL Control ceiling speakers range from the compact Control 24CT MicroPlus, with 150° coverage and a 25 W 70 V / 100 V transformer, to the Control 328CT 8-inch coaxial rated at 250 W. For halls and worship spaces, JBL CBT columns control vertical coverage: the CBT 70J-1 switches between 45° and 25°, and the CBT 1000 adds tapered horizontal coverage with bass below 40 Hz.

Weather-resistant and AE Series

For outdoor and demanding installations, the JBL AWC129 all-weather speaker is rated IP56, with 90° × 90° coverage, 400 W handling and a 200 W 70 V / 100 V transformer. The AE (Application Engineered) Series covers fixed installations with rotatable horns, for example the AC28/95, a compact dual 8-inch 2-way speaker with a 90° × 60° horn and 750 W programme rating.

Portable and touring

For events, JBL powered speakers include the amplifier and DSP. The IRX112BT is a 12-inch portable speaker with Bluetooth streaming, dbx automatic feedback suppression and a 53 Hz to 20 kHz response. The PRX915 delivers 1,000 W RMS and 133 dB, and the SRX800 Series adds Crown DriveCore amplification and network control. Large venues and tours use VTX line arrays such as the dual 12-inch VTX A12.

Subwoofers and amplification

JBL subwoofers extend the bass of each family: the PRX918XLF reaches 30 Hz at -10 dB with 1,000 W RMS, and the dual 18-inch SRX828SP has a 2,000 W Crown DriveCore amplifier. For passive installed speakers, the JBL CSA-2120 amplifier delivers 2 × 120 W at 4 or 8 Ω, convection-cooled for quiet rooms. More options are in Subwoofers and Power Amplifiers.

Rigging and accessories

The collection also lists JBL's own flying hardware, array frames, yoke mounts, covers and transport carts, such as VTX array frames and EON700 yoke mounts. Use JBL rigging for JBL arrays and speakers; VSYS, CorporateAV.ae's own mounting brand, makes no speaker brackets.

Where JBL is used

JBL installed speakers serve offices, retail, restaurants, hotels and places of worship; CBT columns and AE Series speakers serve conference halls, ballrooms and auditoriums; VTX line arrays serve concerts and large venues; and PRX, EON and IRX speakers serve corporate events, rental and mobile DJs. The JBL 104-BT monitors suit edit suites and small studios, with a 60 W Class D amplifier and Bluetooth 5.0. In the UAE, outdoor terraces, pools and beach venues call for the IP56-rated JBL AWC range.

Installation and planning

A JBL system is chosen around the space and the programme. Before ordering, check:

  • Coverage: the audience area, ceiling height and distance, to choose between ceiling speakers, columns and arrays.
  • Wiring: 70 V / 100 V lines with transformer models (such as Control CT and AWC), or low impedance with amplifier presets.
  • Environment: indoor, covered outdoor or exposed, and the rigging points or wall structure available.

Several JBL Control models are sold with and without a transformer, such as the Control 322C and 322CT, so check the version against the wiring plan.

JBL families in this collection

The JBL range falls into three groups.

  • Installed: JBL Control 24CT MicroPlus and Control ceiling speakers, CBT 1000 and CBT columns, AWC129 all-weather and AE Series.
  • Portable and touring: IRX112BT, PRX915, EON700, SRX800 and VRX speakers, and VTX A12 line arrays.

Applications and technical planning

Does a JBL Control speaker need a transformer?

Only for 70 V or 100 V systems. JBL sells several Control models in two versions: with a built-in transformer (CT) for distributed lines, or without one (C) for low-impedance amplifiers. For example, the Control 322C and 322CT, or the 227C and 227CT.

The Control 24CT MicroPlus includes a 25 W multi-tap transformer for 70 V and 100 V systems. Check the version against the wiring plan before ordering.

What amplifier suits passive JBL installed speakers?

For small passive systems, the JBL CSA-2120 delivers 2 × 120 W at 4 or 8 Ω, is convection-cooled and plenum-rated (UL2043), with summing RCA inputs on each channel.

For larger systems with 70 V / 100 V lines or many zones, multichannel DSP amplifiers from the Power Amplifiers collection can drive JBL Control and CBT speakers; match each channel to the total speaker load.
