JBL Control 31-WH 10" 2-Way Premium High-Output Monitor Speaker
The Control 31-WH is a compact, high-output 2-way speaker engineered for studio monitoring, live room recording, and medium-scale tracking sessions where consistent coverage and reliable output matter. Its symmetrical 110° × 110° pattern and efficient design make it effective as a main or secondary monitor in home studios, project rooms, and multiroom recording setups where you need transparent, non-fatiguing sound reinforcement.
Audio Performance in the Studio
This speaker delivers 250W of passive power with a maximum SPL of 123 dB peak and 116 dB continuous at 1 meter—sufficient headroom for tracking and mixing without compression or strain. The 92 dB sensitivity means efficient output at normal control-room levels, while the frequency response of 42Hz–14kHz (±3 dB) preserves midrange clarity and vocal definition critical to mix decisions, with extended bass reach to the low 30s for fuller context.
Driver Architecture & Durability
The speaker uses a 10-inch woven fiberglass cone low-frequency driver with a 2-inch high-temperature fiberglass voice coil and pure butyl rubber surround for consistent long-term operation in sessions. The 1-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver with patented design and fluid cooling maintains tight, distortion-free high-frequency response—essential for catching mix issues early. The UV-resistant white finish resists yellowing and keeps the speaker looking clean in any studio environment.
