The Control 18S is designed to augment
the low frequency output of any of the
Control Contractor loudspeakers, and is ideal
for foreground music and music/paging
systems in a wide variety of applications such
as restaurants, retail establishments, theme
bars, music cafes, outdoor theme and water
parks and health clubs.
Sharing the same cabinet enclosure
dimensions as the Control 28, the Control 18S
is an excellent visual and acoustic match with
the Control Contractor surface-mount
speakers.
The unique globally-patented InvisiBall
mounting hardware is included in each
system and makes short work of permanent
installation. The InvisiBall mounting method
has the additional benefit of allowing vertical
rotation of up to 37° off-axis and horizontal
rotation of up to 44° off-axis. Because
InvisiBall adjustments are made through a
hidden access behind the logo badge, the
grille never needs to be removed and there
exists a high degree of theft deterrence.
The Control 18S is available in black
(Control 18S) and white (Control 18S-WH)
and the cabinet accepts a variety of paints
and finishes to match any decor.
The Control 18S is protected from overload
damage by JBL's exclusive SonicGuard
circuitry, a protection system that is inaudible
to the listener, ensuring reliability while
providing full fidelity sound. The premium
performance capability ensures excellent
sound character, providing pleasant,
enveloping sound throughout the listening
area.
