JBL Control 12C/T – Compact Ceiling Loudspeaker (Each)

The JBL Control 12C/T is a compact, full-range ceiling loudspeaker designed for a variety of applications, including:

• Background music and announcements in commercial spaces: Retail stores, restaurants, offices, schools, and hospitality settings can all benefit from the clear and intelligible sound of the Control 12C/T.
• Home theater surround sound systems: As a surround or rear speaker, the Control 12C/T can add depth and immersion to your movie-watching experience.
• Whole-home audio systems: Install multiple Control 12C/T speakers throughout your house to enjoy music in different rooms.

 Features of the JBL Control 12C/T:

• Compact Design: Measuring only 3 inches (76mm) wide, the Control 12C/T fits easily into most ceilings, making it ideal for discreet installations.
• Full-Range Driver: A single 3-inch (76mm) wide-bandwidth cone driver delivers a good balance of highs, mids, and lows, ensuring clear sound reproduction for music, announcements, or dialogue.
• Paintable Baffle: The white baffle can be painted to match your ceiling for a seamless look.
• Blind-Mount Backcan: This feature simplifies installation by allowing you to secure the speaker to the ceiling before connecting the wires.
• Multiple Mounting Options: The speaker can be mounted using standard tile rails or the included half-space back box for drop ceilings. Optional MTC-TCD thick ceiling dog-ears are available for ceilings up to 2.2 inches (55mm) thick.

Additional Considerations:

• Power Handling: The Control 12C/T can handle up to 20 watts of power at 8 ohms impedance. Ensure your amplifier is compatible with the speaker’s impedance and power requirements.
• 70V/100V Operation: The speaker can also be used in distributed speaker systems with 70V or 100V constant voltage amplifiers. This is a common setup in commercial applications where multiple speakers need to be powered over long distances.
• Sound Quality: While suitable for background music and announcements, the single driver might not be ideal for audiophile-grade music listening or applications requiring deep bass response.

Overall, the JBL Control 12C/T is a versatile and affordable ceiling loudspeaker solution. Its compact size, full-range sound reproduction, and easy installation features make it a compelling choice for various commercial and residential applications.
