JBL Professional 389-00029-01 - Original Control 26CT/26C Ceiling Grille with Retaining Tab

The JBL 389-00029-01 is the original equipment (OEM) front grille for the Control 26CT and Control 26C in-ceiling speakers. Designed by JBL to fit perfectly over the speaker trim ring, it restores factory appearance and protection after maintenance, painting, or replacement. The model includes a retention tab ( w/tab ) for quick and secure mounting from the front of the speaker. Its paintable white finish allows it to be customized to suit each project's decor without affecting coverage or intelligibility.

Main features

• Official JBL replacement: identical fit and aesthetics to the original in Control 26CT and Control 26C .
• “W/Tab” (with tab): tab retention system for simple and secure attachment to the speaker ring.
