Description
The Control 24C is a compact, high-performance in-ceiling speaker designed for background music and music-plus-paging applications. It delivers clear, full-range sound with low distortion, making it ideal for commercial environments such as retail spaces, offices, hotels, and restaurants.
It features a coaxial driver design with a 4-inch (100 mm) woofer and a 0.75-inch (19 mm) titanium-coated tweeter, providing smooth frequency response and wide sound dispersion. The speaker’s wide coverage pattern allows fewer units to be used while still maintaining consistent audio coverage across the space, helping reduce overall system cost without sacrificing performance.
The system also includes JBL SonicGuard™ overload protection, which improves reliability by allowing higher operating levels without damaging the driver components. It is supplied with a grille, backcan, and tile rails for fast and easy installation.
