JBLC29AV-1 Control 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Speaker Black
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Weatherproof 8-inch two-way install speaker in black with 70V/100V taps. For fixed background and foreground audio in patios, retail, and covered outdoor areas.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Dark ceilings or walls where a white box would stand out
- Restaurant patios and covered outdoor seating on a 70V line
- Distributed systems where wattage is set per speaker
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Live bands or DJs — this is an install box, not portable PA
- Critical studio listening; voicing is built for coverage, not flat monitoring
- Fully exposed installs with direct rain or standing water
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Through position, 8 ohms
Bypasses the transformer so you can run it as a normal low-impedance speaker off a standard amp.
Detail 03
IP-X4 splashproof
Handles splashing water and weather from any angle. Rated for humidity, salt spray, and UV — not for submersion or direct downpour.
Detail 04
43Hz–15kHz response
Real low end for an install speaker. Music has body without a subwoofer, though the top octave rolls off early.
Detail 05
110H x 85V rotatable coverage
Wide horizontal pattern covers a room from fewer points. Rotate the horn 90 degrees for tall narrow spaces.
Detail 06
High-impact polystyrene enclosure
Won't rot or corrode outdoors like wood or steel. Black finish hides grime better than white on covered patios.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sold as a single speaker at this price — budget per unit, not per pair
- 02InvisiBall mounting base included; a 70V amplifier is not
- 0326.8 lb each — confirm the wall or structure carries the load
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I run this off a regular stereo amp?
Yes. Set the transformer to the through position for 8 ohms nominal, then wire it like any passive speaker.
02Is the black version different from the white?
Only the color. Same drivers, transformer taps, coverage pattern, and weather rating.
03Does it come with a mounting bracket?
Yes, the InvisiBall mounting base and a hex wrench are included, along with an input panel cover.
04How many can I put on one 70V amp?
Add the tap settings you choose per speaker and stay under the amplifier's rated output. At 28W taps, a 300W amp handles about ten.
