JBL PROFESSIONAL CONTROL 24CT - Compact Ceiling Speaker for Professional Installations (Pair)
The JBL Control 24CT is a two-way ceiling speaker specifically designed to deliver crisp, high-quality sound reproduction in a wide variety of commercial applications. This package includes two units, providing a complete and efficient solution for background music and public address systems. Its coaxial design integrates a 100 mm (4-inch) woofer with a 19 mm (0.75-inch) titanium dome tweeter, ensuring consistent and uniform sound dispersion throughout the listening area. The woofer, with its polypropylene-coated cone and butyl rubber surround, offers exceptional durability and defined, distortion-free low-frequency response, while the ferrofluid-cooled tweeter ensures clear and detailed highs, even at high volume levels.
Thanks to its integrated multi-tap transformer, the Control 24CT is fully compatible with 70V and 100V distributed audio systems, allowing multiple speakers to be connected over long lines without any loss of quality. Furthermore, its wide 130° coverage angle enables efficient sound filling of spaces with fewer speakers, resulting in reduced installation costs and a cleaner aesthetic. Its discreet design and paintable grille allow it to blend seamlessly into any décor.
