Detail 01
70V and 100V transformer taps

JBLControl 30 10" Three-Way Indoor/Outdoor Speaker Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 10-inch three-way weatherproof install speaker with 70V/100V taps. Built for contractors covering patios, pool decks, or large rooms on a distributed line.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Outdoor patios and pool decks exposed to rain, salt air, sun
- Long 70V/100V runs where many speakers share one amp channel
- Rooms needing full-range music, not just background paging
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Simple background music jobs a smaller two-way covers for less
- Portable or live-sound duty; 42 lb on a fixed mount
- Anyone wanting something discreet — it's a large surface-mount box
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
8-ohm thru position
Bypasses the transformer so the same speaker also runs straight off a standard low-impedance amp channel.
Detail 03
IP-X5, salt spray and UV testing
Handles hose-strength water from any angle, coastal air and direct sun. Safe under an eave or fully open patio.
Detail 04
93dB sensitivity, 500W program capacity
Efficient enough that modest amp power gets it over crowd noise outdoors, with headroom left before the limiter works.
Detail 05
Three-way with a 5-inch midrange
Voices get their own driver instead of being split between woofer and tweeter, so speech stays intelligible at distance.
Detail 06
InvisiBall mounting base included
Ball-joint bracket lets you aim the speaker after mounting, then locks down with the supplied hex key.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No amplifier included; distributed runs need a 70V or 100V amp
- 02Weight and price are per speaker — stereo means buying two
- 03Choose the tap wattage before you fit the input panel cover
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I run this off a normal amplifier?
Yes. The thru position bypasses the transformer and presents 8 ohms nominal, so any standard amp channel drives it. The taps are only for 70V or 100V distributed lines.
02Is it actually waterproof?
It carries an IP-X5 rating, covering hose-strength water jets from any direction, plus salt spray, humidity and UV exposure. Mount it outdoors, but not submerged or where water pools.
03Do I need a subwoofer with it?
For music at normal levels, no — it reaches 40Hz. Add a sub only if you want deep low end for dance material or you're covering a very large space.
04Does the mounting hardware come with it?
Yes. The InvisiBall base and its hex wrench are included, along with the input panel cover. Wiring is a screw-down terminal strip, so there's no connector to buy.
