JBL Professional Control 24C - 4-Inch Coaxial Ceiling Speaker (2-Pack)
The JBL Professional Control 24C is a compact ceiling loudspeaker designed to deliver premium audio performance in a wide variety of commercial applications. This two-unit pack is the ideal solution for background music, ambient music, and public address systems (paging) where clarity and reliability are essential. Its coaxial design ensures that both low and high frequencies originate from the same point, providing exceptional sound coherence and clarity throughout the listening area.
Equipped with a 100 mm (4-inch) woofer featuring a polypropylene cone and a durable butyl rubber surround, the Control 24C reproduces mid and low frequencies with warmth and accuracy. The coaxially mounted 19 mm (0.75-inch) titanium-coated dome tweeter delivers crisp, detailed highs. This combination of high-quality components results in a wide frequency response and low distortion, allowing for high sound pressure levels without sacrificing audio fidelity. Its low impedance design (16 ohms) facilitates connecting multiple speakers in parallel to a single amplifier channel, optimizing installation in mid-sized systems.
