JBL Control 1Pro Pair Reviews

GREAT STUFF

I had these in my home studio and found them so-so compared to my Yamaha NS10M monitors which I let go due to downsizing. I must tell this 2-way speakers that are absolutely amazing, in a small room, they have it all you need. BEST FOR THE PRICE !

Little Beasts

I installed these at a hostel as undercover outdoor speakers and their sound quality was astonishing for such a small speaker. highly recommend

Nice pair of speakers!

The wall mount is very durable and they wont move an inch from where they're put. The sound is more that decent quality-wise and the volume they can reach without having distortion is way more than anticipated.

Very easy to hook up to any appliance. Very satisfied!

The best, using it everyday for a year now in coffee shop

I love them, very powerfull, very clean sound.

Planning to add 2 more for more power.

Excellent choice for low budget passive monitor

I prefer passive speaker due to I can use with different power amp I like. So far I use this with SMSL SA300 power amp with bluetooth feature then it works well with my ipad. it sounds nice especially mid range. Sound of guitar or saxophone...etc is pretty clear.

150W rating is big number for such small dimension speakers. I have not tried. but it is highly possible to be suitable in band rehearsal; PA in smaller field.

I've seen lack of bass issue from other reviews. It's true but I have method to improve it. It does lacks bass frequency especially sub-bass (frequency band around bass drum). if you also place it on desk or some plane rather than installing with wall mount, try spike stand. I get much stronger bass (the standard monitor speaker should have) after place 3 mobile ring stands between desk and speaker. Can't wait to try some real spike material ebony cone.

For the price great.

JBL sticker doesn't sit well on the grill.

Excelent

Excellent speakers for the price.

I had compared these speakers with some other more expensive small PA's and hifi speakers and I'm impressed with the performance of these little ones.

Perfect

excellent features at competitive price. i could integrate them very easily to the audio configuration i have

The best sound with small price!

I've already bought 20 pair of Jbl Control 1 Pro for small, medium installation. Using a digital processor I reached a very hight pressure without damage. I'm very happy to use always this speaker. The price is very small if we think about the performance and if we think that have already the bracket for wallmounting. A couple of brackes cost 35-40 euro minimum!!!

Great little speakers.

I bought these for monitoring my home recordings and now run my personal hi fi through them.

The response is crisp, clear, with all frequencies well preserved. I listen to lots of fifferent genres and styles, from esoteric vocals, orchestral, rock to electronica, and am very impressed.

I haven't pushed them really hard, so I can't vouch that they won't distort at really high volumes, but at normal listening levelsin a family living room, it's surprising how mugh (good) sound can come out of such little boxes.

Reccommended!

OK in bigger rooms

I have installed them in pretty big place (restaurant lobby), just to play some ambient music. Speakers are responsive, pretty loud for their size and you can't say anything against the sound for their cost. Later I have added a pair of Behringer Monitor 1Control (to hear the difference JBL/Behringer) and a small 10" sub to extend coverage and add a little sub when playing at lower volumes. They are small and need a little bit of help in bass reproduction in bigger places as mine. I think you can't go wrong with these speakers for their cost and they are really well made.

JBL Control 1 Pro offers terrific quality at an affordable price for professional or residential applications.

Best thing about those speaker is:

SonicGuard protection circuitry to prevent overloads

Ball and socket mounting bracket included for versatile positioning

JBL Control 1Pro Pair

These speakers certainly punch above their weight in terms of sound quality especialy bass response, value for money and looks.

Good Install Speakers

These speakers were used as part of an A/V install for a primary school main hall. As an installer they are a great product as they areself contained. They come with brackets for wall mounting that make them really good value. The sound quality isn't spectacular (lacking in low end and treble is a touch brittle) but they sit well with other install speakers. They seem robust and having used these before they seem to hold up well in tough environments (band cafe and schools). The mounts need a lot of tightening for them to stay in place but once setup they stay put. A good install choice but not for the audiophile.
