Description

The JBL Control HST is a wide-coverage on-wall speaker built to cut the wall reflections that color most surface-mount speakers. A wall-facing woofer, two horizontally splayed tweeters, a bracket that sets the right distance from the wall and a tapered cabinet work together. This listing is for the black version.

With most surface-mount speakers, low and low-mid frequencies wrap around the cabinet and reflect off the wall, which adds peaks and dips that change from seat to seat. Control HST reduces this, for a flatter response and a more consistent sound across the room, with 180° x 160° coverage.
