Home audio speaker with HST
The JBL Control HST is a white home audio speaker built around a 5.25" ceramic woofer and dual 1" aluminum tweeters. It delivers 100 W RMS and 400 W PMPO output with an 8 Ohm nominal impedance and 88 dB sensitivity. The wide-coverage design uses HST technology for broad dispersion in residential or light commercial spaces.
Wall-mountable or surface-mount form factor
The cabinet measures 10.1" high, 14.3" wide and 8.3" deep and weighs 7.94 lb. It can be installed on a wall using the included U-bracket or placed on a surface without additional hardware. The 8 Ohm impedance allows straightforward pairing with most stereo amplifiers or multi-zone receivers.
Frequency response from 68 Hz to 18 kHz
The speaker reproduces bass down to 68 Hz and extends to 18 kHz, covering music and speech with balanced output. At 100 W RMS it handles moderate listening levels in medium rooms, while the 400 W PMPO peak provides headroom for dynamic passages. Buyers needing deeper low-frequency extension or higher continuous SPL will require a larger cabinet or a powered subwoofer.

Questions about this item
How loud can the 100 W RMS speaker play continuously before the driver reaches its thermal limit?
The 5.25" ceramic woofer and dual 1" aluminum tweeters are rated for 100 W RMS continuous power, with a 400 W PMPO peak ceiling.
Does the 88 dB sensitivity and sealed cabinet keep noise and heat low during all-day playback?
At 88 dB sensitivity the speaker produces high output with modest amplifier current, and the wall-mount enclosure vents heat naturally during extended use.
What amplifier connections are required to drive the 8-ohm impedance and dual tweeter array?
A standard two-channel amp or receiver with 8-ohm speaker terminals and binding-post or banana-plug cables is all that is needed.
