Control 80 Series Mushroom Landscape Speaker Installation Instructions
Control 85M, 88M, and 89MS

Before final assembly and installation of the Landsape speaker, it is important to prepare the installation site. The speaker is designed to be able to sit below grade, with the lower half burried in the soil no deeper than the boundary point where the two parts of the speaker meet. Another installation method is to place the speaker on the surface and use ground cover materials to “berm up” to the boundary between the two sections, being careful not to cover the flared waveguide in the upper half of the speaker, or the speaker can be installed on the top surface of wooden decks or cement slabs. There are three recessed pathways on the bottom of the speaker to allow for entrance and exit when using mutiple speakers on distributed lines.
Anchoring the speaker for stability and security can be accomplished using after-market stakes placed through one, two or all three pre-drilled holes located at the base of each of the legs on the bottom section.

Twist the top part of the enclosure in a clock-wise direction until it disengages from the bottom part.

Lift off the top section.

The second gland nut can be installed by drilling a 22 mm (7/8 in, 0.875 in) hole on the side of the bottom half of the

enclosure, in one of three recesses on the underside of the

enclosure, or other locations as needed, while taking care

that the location chosen does not interfere with the

locking parts so both halfs of the enclosure will mate and

close properly.

setting required before powering up system.

5
Install the gland nut into the hole as shown above in #6 and feed external wire from outside through the gland nut and up through the center hole in the lower half of the speaker as shown above.

Attach one of the two included Gland Nuts into the open hole on the seal plate as shown above.

IMPORTANT: WIRE SIZE
** To achieve a watertight seal with these gland nuts, use only round jacketed cable with outside diameter (O.D.) between 4.0mm (0.16″) and 9.0 mm (0.36″).

7
Continue to extend external wire up through the gland nut installed on the seal plate and attach to pre-existing wires from the top section of the speaker with included gel-filled wire nuts.

8
When all wires are set into place as shown in #9, tighten down both gland nuts by rotating the larger side until the gland material clamps down on the wire creating a water tight seal.

9
Begin to re-assemble speaker by taking care to place wire nut connectors in top section of speaker and reattach the seal plate with screws as shown above.

10
Line up the upper section pins and lower section grooves.

11

Rotate top section counter-clockwise to lock the top to the bottom section, being careful to line up the security screw hole with brass nut on the bottom half of the speaker.

12
Using included security screwdriver, and making sure you have lined up the security screw with brass nut, turn clockwise so screw will lock top and bottom section together.

13
Replace cap covering set screw.

CONTROL® 89MS
8″ MUSHROOM LANDSCAPE SUBWOOFER
PROFESSIONAL SERIES
Key Features:
· Component: · 200 mm (8-inch) long-throw driver with polypropylene cone, longexcursion TPV surround, and large-diameter 50 mm (2-inch) voice coil on glass fiber former
· 150W Pink Noise Power Handling (300W program) in direct 8 setting, plus built-in 80W subwoofer-band 70V/100V multi-tap transformer
· Tough polyethylene enclosure resists abuse from lawn care equipment and the elements
· Fully sealed center chamber for wiring protection · Frequency range: 40 Hz­150 Hz

Applications:
The JBL-Control 89MS Mushroom-Style Landscape Subwoofer augments the low-frequency performance of the JBL Control 80 Series landscape speaker line (and other outdoor systems) to provide rich bass in lawn, garden, and entrance areas of hotels, restaurants and other hospitality and retail complexes, as well
as theme parks, sports venues, resorts, entranceways, and anywhere a highly weather-resistant speaker is required.
This sleek, attractive, compact subwoofer features a down-firing, long-throw 200 mm (8-inch) driver which delivers 115 dB (peak) of clean, powerful bass down to 40 Hz. The built-in low-pass crossover features a dual-slope filter which begins with a gentle slope at the crossover frequency and transitions to a steeper slope at higher frequencies), creating a balanced subwoofer transition regardless whether the speaker is driven from a full-range or a dedicated subwoofer amplifier channel. The premium-grade dedicated-subwoofer-band multi-tap transformer (and tap selector with 8 bypass) allows the JBL-Control 89MS to be used in 70V and 100V distributed systems or driven directly at low impedance, for maximum versatility.
The JBL-Control 89MS is IP56-rated to withstand the elements, with a tough polyethylene enclosure and a fully-sealed center wiring chamber. The enclosure color extends throughout the cabinet so the speaker maintains color even when scraped or scratched. All external hardware is stainless steel, and the powdercoated stainless steel grille resists rusting.
The two-part enclosure is designed to open with a twist for wiring and then close securely with an included security screw. The bottom base section of the

enclosure can be preinstalled and then wired to the top speaker section of the enclosure when the top gets installed. When assembled, the bottom base section becomes a fully isolated chamber, and the wiring/speaker chamber is further sealed by a water-tight bulkhead, keeping the speaker and transformer (in the top speaker section) highly isolated from the possibility of intruding moisture. Multiple locations on the bottom and sides are provided for the mounting of the exterior gland nut (installed by drilling a 22 mm [0.875 in, 7 /8 in] diameter hole in the chosen location), and a second, interior gland nut is positioned in the bulkhead between the bottom base and the top speaker sections to keep the speaker system highly weather tight. Included gland nuts maintain a water-tight seal only when used with round-jacketed cable with outside diameter between 4.0 and 9.0 mm (0.16 and 0.35 inches). The Control 89MS can be secured to the ground via third-party ground stakes using the three attachment points that extend out from the bottom section of the speaker.
The 200 mm (8.0 in) diameter long-throw subwoofer driver features a waterproof
and highly corrosion-resistant polypropylene cone and long-excursion corrosionresistant TPV (thermoplastic vulcanized surround, and a large 50 mm (2-inch) voice coil on a glass fiber coil-former for high power handling and superior longterm reliability.
The speaker handles 150 Watts Continuous Pink Noise (300W Program, 600W Peak) in the 8 mode. The Control 89MS is UL certified, per UL1480A.

JBL continually engages in research related to product improvement. Some materials, production methods, and design refinements are introduced into existing products without notice as a routine expression of that philosophy. For this reason, any current JBL product may differ in some respect from its published description, but will always equal or exceed the original design specifications unless otherwise stated.
