Our take on the JBL Control 31 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Monitor Speaker

The JBL Control 31 is a passive two-way monitor speaker built for permanent indoor or outdoor installs. A 250 mm woofer and a compression horn tweeter deliver 250 W continuous power handling, 123 dB peak output and 42 Hz to 14 kHz response. It suits patios, poolsides, bars and commercial spaces that need loud, durable sound from an amplifier, not casual listeners. Against smaller outdoor speakers it plays far louder and lower, but it is heavy at 18.8 kg, needs an external amp and tops out at 14 kHz.

Questions and answers

Do I need an amplifier to use the JBL Control 31?
Yes. It is a passive 8-ohm speaker with screw-down terminals, so it needs a separate amplifier rated for its 250 W continuous power.
Can the JBL Control 31 stay outside all year?
JBL builds it for permanent outdoor installation, and it handles covered patios, poolsides and similar spots. Mount it with some shelter from direct rain where you can.
How loud is the JBL Control 31?
It reaches 123 dB peak at 1 m with 92 dB sensitivity, so it plays far louder than typical outdoor speakers. That makes it suited to large patios and commercial spaces.
How low does the JBL Control 31 go?
Its rated response is 42 Hz to 14 kHz. Bass is strong for an outdoor speaker, but the treble rolls off early, so it sounds warmer than full-range home speakers.
Is the JBL Control 31 good for background music at home?
It works, but it is overkill for a small deck. The size, weight and amplifier requirement make more sense for large spaces or commercial installs.
What is in the box with the JBL Control 31?
Expect the speaker itself and its mounting hardware. Check the listing for the bracket and any terminal accessories before you plan the install.
Where is the JBL Control 31 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Monitor Speaker cheapest?
At B&H Photo-Video-Audio, for $880.00, as of our latest check.
