The JBL Control HST is a premium on-wall speaker designed to deliver exceptionally wide and consistent room coverage using JBL’s innovative HST (Hemispherical Soundfield Technology). Equipped with a 5.25-inch low-frequency driver and dual 0.75-inch tweeters, the Control HST provides an immersive, evenly distributed audio experience across the entire listening area.

HST technology allows sound to reflect off surrounding walls, reducing hotspots, drop-offs, and uneven frequency response—making this speaker ideal for restaurants, corporate spaces, retail stores, hospitality environments, or any installation requiring superior wide-area coverage.

Its discreet, rugged enclosure ensures long-lasting performance, while the included wall-mount bracket makes installation simple and secure.
