JBL Professional Control 126WT - 6.5" In-Wall Speaker with 70/100V Transformer (2-Pack)
The JBL Professional Control 126WT is a high-quality in-wall loudspeaker from the Control Contractor series, designed to deliver superior performance with minimal visual impact in boardrooms, reception areas, retail spaces, hospitality venues, museums, or surround sound environments. Its two-way architecture combines a 165mm woofer with a polymer-coated aluminum cone and butyl rubber surround with a 25mm pure titanium dome tweeter mounted on an EOS™ waveguide and a swiveling low-diffraction bracket (≈ −10°). A steep crossover maintains a natural midrange and even coverage. The WT model integrates a multi-tap transformer for 70/100V lines, ideal for distributed systems in commercial installations.
With a bandwidth of 38 Hz to 20 kHz (−10 dB), sensitivity of 88 dB, and wide dispersion (≈ 180° H × 160° V), the Control 126WT delivers extended bass, excellent intelligibility, and a homogeneous soundstage across the entire listening area. Connection is made via a screw-in Euroblock connector for quick and secure pre-wiring, and the unit comes with a cutting template and paint mask. For new construction, the WB6 pre-installation frame is available.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can the 126WT model operate at 8 Ω? It does not include a direct 8 Ω tap on the connector; it is designed for use with 70/100 V amplifiers and transformer tap selection.
-
What high-pass filter is recommended for 70/100 V? It is advisable to use an HPF between 30 and 70 Hz (many amplifiers integrate it at ≈ 70 Hz) to avoid transformer saturation; the higher the selected tap, the higher the cutoff should be set.
-
What cut should I make in the wall? 246 × 181 mm; the template is included.
-
Is it sold in pairs? Yes, this reference corresponds to a pack of 2 units (shipping weight of the pair: 6.2 kg).
