JBL's Control NOW Speakers Ideal For Tough Audio Setups

www.businesswire.com.jpg So you just moved into a new home and it's time to set up the home theater. It's then that you realize you don't have the ideal setup for your dream theater, understandable given that your wife or girlfriend picked the home, not you. And while there are infinite potential problems you could run into, we'll just focus on the audio aspect of things. If you've got tough deal setting up your audio system, you may want to take a look at JBL's Control NOW loudspeakers, available now.

Available in both indoor and outdoor versions, the Control NOW speakers feature a quarter round curved shape that allow you to mount them pretty well anywhere. JBL says they're suitable for placement "corner-mounted between a ceiling and wall or between two walls, or placed either horizontally or vertically on a shelf". They can even be joined together to create half-round, three quarter round, or a circular speaker configuration and hung straight down from the ceiling using a pole-mount bracket and ceiling-fan hardware.

The speakers feature a tweeter in a JBL Bi-Radial horn, designed to output smooth and even sound even in horrible audio setups. The tweeter has 4-inch woofers computer-designed to optimize output and minimize distortion and even the casing is designed using a high-strength composite material with sound clarity in mind.

How much will JBL's Control NOW speakers set you back? Not to much if you don't have to many audio options in your household. $249 each for the indoor speakers, and $279 for the outdoor set.

You can find them at Amazon, usually at a reduced price.
