JBL C50PACK Sub-sat Spkr System (1 Sub + 4 Satellites), Blk
Description
JBL C50PACK Sub-sat Speaker System (1 Sub + 4 Satellites), Black
The JBL C50PACK delivers a compact, modular approach to full-range monitoring and playback with genuine flexibility in studio configuration. This sub-satellite configuration pairs a powerful subwoofer with four discrete satellite speakers, making it ideal for home studios, control rooms, or distributed monitoring setups where traditional full-range nearfield monitors won't fit the space. The included wall brackets and omnidirectional coverage pattern allow each component to integrate seamlessly into existing room layouts, supporting both stereo and surround mixing applications.
System Design & Coverage
The system combines one Control 50S/T subwoofer with four Control 52 satellite speakers, each featuring a zinc-plated steel grille for durability. Omnidirectional satellite coverage ensures consistent sound across the listening area, while wall-mount brackets allow individual speakers to angle up to 45° off-axis, and subwoofer mounting brackets enable flexible placement without requiring floor space—critical for optimizing acoustic response in rooms with limited real estate.
Audio Performance & Monitoring Capability
This system achieves a frequency range of 32 Hz – 20 kHz (−10 dB) with ±3 dB response from 50 Hz – 17 kHz, supported by 107 dB maximum SPL continuous output with all four satellites. The 200 Watts continuous program power (100 hrs) and 100 Watts continuous pink noise specification provide reliable headroom for sustained monitoring and playback, with removable locking 2-pin connectors and transformer taps at 80W, 40W, 20W, and 10W @ 70V for flexible integration into existing studio signal chains.

At a Glance
The JBL C50PACK brings full-range mixing and monitoring flexibility to distributed recording and post-production spaces, pairing a tight-bottomed 8-inch subwoofer with four omnidirectional satellites for even frequency response (±3 dB, 50 Hz – 17 kHz) across your room. The modular wall-mount design lets you position speakers exactly where you need them without eating studio floor space, and 70V/low-impedance transformer taps support professional integration into larger facility wiring. Choose it when you need accurate reference monitoring across multiple tracking or editing zones without the footprint of traditional full-range cabinets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the C50PACK include and can I mix and match satellite and subwoofer counts?
The system comes with one Control 50S/T subwoofer and four Control 52 satellite speakers, all with brackets and connectors. Impedance and sensitivity shift with satellite count (4 satellites = 4 ohms; 2 satellites = 8 ohms), so you can run a subset if space requires, though the full four-satellite configuration delivers the rated 107 dB maximum SPL.
Is the C50PACK suitable for small live venues and portable sound reinforcement?
Yes. The modular sub-sat design is purpose-built for smaller venues, installed audio systems, and spaces where traditional full-range cabinets cannot fit. Omnidirectional coverage and up-to-45° angling capability ensure consistent sound across listening areas without relocating the entire system.
What power and impedance options does it support?
The system offers 200 Watts continuous program power and 100 Watts continuous pink noise, with removable locking 2-pin connectors. It includes transformer taps at 80W, 40W, 20W, and 10W at 70V, plus bypass capability, allowing integration into both distributed 70/100V lines and low-impedance systems.
How does frequency response and SPL output compare to larger full-range systems?
The C50PACK delivers 32 Hz – 20 kHz (−10 dB) full-range coverage with ±3 dB response from 50 Hz – 17 kHz and 107 dB continuous SPL maximum. It is designed for compact, distributed installations rather than high-SPL main-stage reinforcement; compare specs directly with single full-range cabinets intended for larger venues.
What mounting and installation hardware is included?
Wall-mount brackets for all four satellites and subwoofer mounting brackets are included. Satellites angle up to 45° off-axis, and subwoofer brackets enable flexible placement without requiring floor space, making the system adaptable to existing venue or studio layouts.
