Review: Amazing value in speakers so good that they have been made for 20 years - These are great small bookshelf speakers from JBL. An indication of how good is that they have been made for nearly 20 years, definitely not a member of the speaker of the month club. These are made for professional use, so there is no wood veneer finish. The flat black case fits in with most decors and holds up well over many years. I've had a pair for a decade and recently bought a second pair for another room. I've been a JBL fan for 50 years, and it's amazing that they offer this quality at such a low price. They are capable of exceptional levels of undistorted neutral clear sound for such a small speaker. Deep base is weak with only a 5.25" woofer, but they are easily paired with a subwoofer. While small enough to be used on the desktop, with a powerfull amp and a preamp with a high pass filter they provide extraordinary sound even when played very loudly in my 400 sq ft living room. I use them in both a 2.1 music room and a 5.1 home theater setup. The high pass filter makes sure that low frequencies are only sent to the subwoofer avoiding distortion in the main speakers. This is only an issue if you listen at very high volumes. Make sure your amp can drive 4 ohm speakers. They pair well with my Fosi 120W/channel class D or vintage JBL SE460 60W/channel class AB amps and Klipsch R-120SW subwoofers.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are they good as near-field studio monitors for home studio? Do they work with Denon DRA 500ae receiver?**
A: I have a recording studio in my home and have been playing and engineering music recordings for 30 years.   I bought these as computer monitors in my office - but I sometimes use them to proof a mix.  They are nice as an "alternative" to my studio monitors.  In my studio I use Mackie HR-824's, Yamaha NS-10's and a pair of Klipsch Heresies to get different "looks" at a mix.   The Control 1 has weak/non existent low bass response, so it's not useful as a primary studio monitor.  I also find them to be less than flat through the mid-range.  So a mix that sounds good on them, can sound "midgange heavy" when you listen to it in the car or any system with a nominally boosted midrange.  So I would say, they are NOT very good if you are a serious audiophile or sound engineer and you want to use them as your sole or primary monitors.   Where they are good is for mixing a nice punchy bass response(80-200hZ).  As a result, I use them to mix drums and bass all the time.  If those instruments sound good on these speakers, they will sound GREAT on a high fidelity system.  Sometimes, when you mix drums and bass on small speakers, the mix ends up being really boomy and bass heavy once you have subwoofers and full frequency playback.  Not so in this case.  They have a very controlled bass response.   Maybe that's why they are named "control"?  So, if you want another set of speakers to check a mix, or if you are doing a lot of drum and bass music, they might be OK.

**Q: Are they self powered? Can I just plug my phone in and jam?**
A: self powered only because they must be connected first to an amplifier old school style with a two-lead cable.  Phone cannot be hooked up or plugged directly to the speaker.  You must first use an amplifier/preamplifier section for processing the signal from your phone.  Some speakers have Bluetooth or network capability and are self-powered w/battery.  These JBL Control 1 speaker is not like that.

**Q: how to intall theme...?**
A: did you get the brackets with them?if you use a drill be careful the plastic is very week.do you have Skype?

**Q: what comes with the products**
A: just the speakers, non powered.  you will need a power amp, also I use a board to plug my puter into.  you can come out of puter but you will need a couple steps before you get to the speakers.  you might want to look into powered versions.  all depends what level and what you are using the speakers for.I have home production studio and have to have some speaker references without blasting the apartment neighbors.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very good value
*by W***L on August 1, 2026*

Good sound at a good price

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Never EVER buy "powered" speakers, buy real speakers like these and buy a Fosi amp.
*by A***R on January 23, 2022*

These are genuine, real, actual STUDIO monitors as used in actual recording studios around the world. There are four or five "classic" small monitors used in studios, and these are one of them. WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T BUY "powered speakers". "Powered speakers" are an unbelievable waste of money AND THEY HUM. All powered speakers, even expensive ones from name brands, are utter rubbish. AND THEY ALL HUM, ALL THE TIME. If you want to sit there listening to hum for the rest of your life, buy "powered speakers". Simply buy the absolutely incredible Fosi amp for 70 bucks (it's easy to find on Amazon - the ID is like B077GWVHHN on amazon) and then buy the monitors of your choice, such as these classic C1s Regarding JBL C1s, they are simply one of the standard monitors used in studios to make albums, as the final check to "how it will sound in real life". They're a "standard". For me, they are a bit too heavy in bass, but that's purely a preference and will hugely depend on your room, desk, etc (it would be like saying "do you prefer strat or les paul" - there's no "answer".) Be aware that with near-field speakers, they are incredibly sensitive to the position, exact placement etc. Thus, I move these around AN INCH or so relative to the exact place I sit in the chair, and it DRASTICALLY changes the sound. This applies to all small studio monitors. I use these (with the utterly incredible Fosi amp) for working with voice production and, just for me, they're probably a bit bassy. (But that's an entirely personal preference.) For music (say, typical pop and rock) they're incredible. Be aware that the sound experience with near field monitors is TOTALLY different from big speakers in a big room; it's meant to be. If you just play any ordinary music track you're familiar with, the Beatles, whatever, through a Fosi and on to these C1s, you'll literally hear a huge amount of stuff you simply never heard before. But again, just be aware it's different: the three experiences using (A) headphones (I mean actual studio headphones, not the idiocy sold by consumer companies) (B) large speakers in a large room (C) nearfield studio monitors with a Fosi ... all three experiences are drastically different. You really can't "go wrong" buying JBL C1s as they are so standard. Like in the analogy, pretty much every working guitarist will own a fender strat, sure, they may prefer other guitars or use others for different reasons, but it's a "standard item". Again, WHATEVER you do DON'T buy "powered" speakers. Buy a Fosi (70 bucks! one of the best amps in the world!) and buy a pair of speakers like this, and you will be a MILE ahead on sound with NO HUM. If these JBLs are too expensive, there's the small Behringer passive monitors (also named "C1" for obvious reasons!) at only 80 bucks a pair, awesome at the price. Or for say 3x the price you can get a pair of Auratones (which are the monitors Quincy Jones uses, for example) But whatever you do, buy passive speakers and a Fosi or any amp - don't buy "powered" monitors, a total ripoff. "Powered speakers" are for convenience music in your kitchen or whatever. But if you need ACTUAL MONITORS to sit by your computing gear to work on audio, do not consider "powered" speakers, buy these JBLs, or the passive monitors of your choice, and a Fosi amp.
