Description
The Control 26C is a high-output in-ceiling loudspeaker designed to deliver powerful, high-quality sound across a wide coverage area. Featuring a coaxially mounted 6.5-inch woofer and 0.75-inch titanium-coated tweeter, it provides excellent speech intelligibility, musical clarity, and consistent coverage for commercial sound installations.
Engineered for background music, foreground music, and paging applications, the Control 26C combines high power handling, wide frequency response, and low distortion to achieve impressive sound pressure levels while maintaining audio quality. Its wide coverage pattern helps reduce the number of speakers required in a system, improving installation efficiency and reducing overall project costs.
The speaker also incorporates JBL SonicGuard™ overload protection, which safeguards the drivers from excessive power levels, enhancing reliability and extending product life. Supplied with a grille, backcan, and tile rails, the Control 26C is designed for quick and professional installation in commercial ceiling environments.
