what is this speakers weather/water rating i plan to purchase speakers to put on my front porch which is not covered very well. how resistant is it to snow and rain?
These are all-weather speakers, but not waterproof speakers. They can survive outdoors nicely, but cannot be directly exposed to the elements (sun, rain, snow). So, when installing these outdoors, you will need to put them under an eaves, or in a place where the elements will not hit them directly.

Hi guys,I’m looking for advice Control X or Control 25 AV for outdoor speakers. Which will have better sound? Thanks
I would personally recommend getting the JBL CONTROL 25 AV, since it would be able to a deeper bass with a frequency response of 70-23,000 Hz (-10dB). Aside from that the cabinet and grille can be painted to match your decor and it has warranty coverage of 5 years for parts and labor.
Date published: 2021-06-06
can it be connected to any Bluetooth enabled device or i phone only
The CONTROL X is a passive speaker that must be connected to a receiver/amplifier in order to function. If you are looking for a powered speaker with wireless connectivity, you should check out the CONTROL X WIRELESS.

As shown above in "what comes in the box", the package/speaker comes with 2 wall mount brackets.
Date published: 2021-06-06

The included brackets are for wall-mounting only. Ceiling-mounting these JBL Control X speakers is not recommended, regardless of the bracket used.

Hi. which wall speakers can I use to connect straight to a TV without a need for a receiver or an amp? Thanks, Hung.
You cannot wire a speaker directly to a TV. TVs do not have enough power to drive the CONTROL X or any passive speaker of any sort. If you are looking for a unit that will replace your TV speakers to improve your viewing/listening experience without the need of getting a receiver, your best bet is our Soundbars that you can directly connect to your TV. http://www.jbl.com/soundbars/

Hello...i have received the speakers as gift...But i am not getting how to connect it and the manual also didn't help me much. It says..it should be connected to amplifier/receiver. Can i please know what does that mean in layman terms?
The JBL CONTROL X speakers must be connected to a device called a receiver, which takes the audio from a source such as a CD player or a mobile phone, and amplifies it so that the audio can be heard through the speakers. If you go to the harmanaudio.com website and hover over Home Audio in the top menu bar, then select Receivers & Amplifiers, you will see several. The HK 3700 would be a good match for these speakers. In fact, any receiver with a maximum output rating of 100 watts at 8 Ohms should work fine with them.

This may seem like a very odd question, but do the rear ports have any protection inside to prevent pests from going in ? :) Esp since this is also an outdoor speaker
Hi, Unfortunately the rear port does not have any protection screen that prevents pests from coming in the speakers but I believe this is a rare case in itself since pests would not go inside a loud speaker due to it's vibrations when playing music.

What is Country of origin and HS code please
The Country of Origin for our JBL Control X is China as it's mass-produced there. As for the HS Code, after intensive research, the general code we could find is 85182200 (HS Codes Classification of Multiple loudspeakers, mounted in the same enclosure). Due to the fact that this code isn't something we classify ourselves, in the future, we recommend using an HS Code lookup service instead for faster results. Thanks for understanding.

There are no HK amps/receivers that work on wireless speakers as of the moment. You can connect them through wired connection from the receiver to the speaker.

Our JBL Control X isn't shielded and while they will work as height speakers, we don't recommend mounting them to a ceiling.
