JBL Control 25T - ranked #13 of 13 Outdoor Speakers · Editor's rating 2.2/5

#13 JBL Control 25T: $350 per pair Discontinued eBay

Newer model: the JBL Control 25-1, ranked higher, estimated 2.4/5.

Pros: Durable commercial outdoor construction with included InvisiBall multi-angle mounting system and built-in multi-tap 70V/100V transformer (30W, 15W, 7.5W taps). High durability and weather resistance against humidity and salt air. Measured bass extension of 150.0Hz (-3dB).

Cons: Vendor spinorama measurements show a sharply band-limited frequency response optimized for commercial voice paging rather than music, yielding a low 0.32 preference score. Bass roll-off begins early at 128Hz (-6dB), and the model is superseded by the Control 25-1. Discontinued.

How it compares: Just above it: JBL Control 25-1 - $120 more, 2Hz higher bass extension (-3dB).
