(More customer reviews)Before you purchase this speaker, you need to realize it's intended application. Unless you've seen this speaker in action, and prefer the sound, you'll probably be able to get "better sounding" consumer speakers for the same price. However, you won't find one that's as robust as this. These are used in many theme parks and commercial applications throughout the world.
The Control 29 is probably the brainchild of JBL Pro's extended speaker lineup from the original Control Contractor line, which originally only included the Control 23, 25, and 28. Along with the SB-210 and the Control 30, these are designed differently from the original line. Unlike it's bigger and smaller siblings, this speaker has underwent two revisions (29AV and 29AV-1). Though it uses an 8" driver, the same size found in the Control 28, the frequency range and overall output is much higher than you'll expect. It also has more suspension options, which include points throughout the speaker, though the Invisiball mount is still included. It also included a more durable grille design than the Control 23, 25, and 28. Accessories are also included with this "premium" speaker, such as a weather resistant cover for the terminals that normally cost around $30 with the small Control speakers. Overall, if you're looking for a weather resistant speaker that's capable of high output, I suggest you take a good look at this speaker. If you need more power, consider looking at the Control 30. If you're looking for less, but still want a good sound, look at the Control 28.
