Designed for outdoor applications, the Control 88M from JBL is a weather-resistant mushroom-shaped coaxial speaker offering 360° coverage and a broad frequency range of 47 Hz to 16 kHz. Mounted on or in the ground it provides quality music and paging in a variety of locations including shopping malls, theme parks, sports venues, hotels, casinos, resorts, restaurants, hospitality facilities, and entrance ways. The speaker’s compact enclosure is unobtrusive and blends in with its surroundings. It resists abuse from lawn care equipment and the elements and maintains its hunter green color even when scraped or scratched.
