The JBL Control Now Speakers offer the audiophile plenty more options where installation is concerned. Whether the room would do best with a tabletop arrangement or a wall-mounted configuration, this mod sound system by Ashcraft Design delivers adaptability.

The quadrant-shaped units have been designed so that they can sit upright on a flat surface or lie horizontally. They can be set up individually or linked into complete circular formations. Creating a ring, the rounded amps can be suspended from the ceiling to emit 360 degrees of sound. Equally, they can be installed as separate segments on the same anchor or independently against the wall. These JBL Control Now Speakers cater to your ears, as well as the nature of the interior space.
