JBL Control 26CT 6.5" 2-Way Ceiling Speakers 100V/16Ω (Pair)
DETAILS
The JBL Control 26CT delivers premium 6.5" ceiling sound with wide coverage, high fidelity, and flexible 100V/16Ω operation.
The JBL Control 26CT is a pair of high-performance 6.5" ceiling loudspeakers designed for premium background and foreground music systems.
Offering powerful output, wide frequency response, and low distortion, they are perfectly suited for upscale restaurants, hotels, casinos, themed venues, offices, and retail environments where high-quality audio is essential.
Each speaker features a coaxially mounted 6.5" woofer with a butyl rubber surround and a ¾" titanium-coated tweeter, delivering clear highs, smooth mids, and warm bass. With a wide 110° coverage pattern, fewer speakers are required to cover an area, reducing installation costs without sacrificing performance.
The Control 26CT includes a multitap transformer for use with 70V/100V distributed systems, while still offering 16Ω operation for direct low-impedance setups. JBL’s exclusive SonicGuard™ overload protection ensures reliable operation at higher output levels without affecting sound quality.
Installation is quick and efficient, with the package including grille, backcan, tile rails, support backing plate, and cutout template. The paintable baffle allows seamless integration with any interior décor, while the formed steel backcan ensures durability and compliance with safety standards, including suitability for use in air handling spaces.
