Suitable for music cafes, business music systems, retail stores, music and paging systems, airports, reception and waiting rooms, lounges, courtrooms, convention centres, hotels, educational facilities and many more environments, the Control 16C\/T combines JBL's proven driver technology with practical installation features and flexible 70V\/100V line and 8 Ohm operation in a paintable, UV resistant baffle available in both white and black finishes. Supplied as a pair, it is an ideal choice for professional AV installers and system designers specifying reliable, high-performance ceiling audio solutions for commercial projects of all sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Performance 2-Way Driver Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Control 16C\/T features a 165mm (6.5\") high-output low-frequency driver specifically engineered for long-term reliability and consistent performance under high-power working conditions. A lightweight, high-temperature anodised aluminium voice coil former and high-temperature-grade voice coil provide stable, reliable performance over sustained use, whilst the polypropylene cone and butyl rubber surround deliver water and humidity resistance alongside excellent sonic damping for long-term durability. FEA-optimised motor construction and cone geometry, combined with a linear suspension spider design, produce a smooth frequency response and consistent off-axis performance across the 110° conical coverage pattern — ensuring even, accurate sound distribution across the listening area regardless of listener position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 19mm (¾\") high-frequency driver features a highly damped and treated silk dome for clear, warm and natural high-frequency reproduction, a lightweight Kapton voice coil for better HF response and excellent reliability, low-viscosity liquid cooling for sustained power handling and a wide dispersion waveguide to produce wide coverage and a smooth frequency response. A 2nd order crossover network provides clean driver integration across the full 62Hz to 20kHz frequency range, and a high sensitivity of 91dB ensures efficient, high-output performance from standard distributed audio system power levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100V Line \u0026amp; Low Impedance Flexibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Control 16C\/T is switchable for both 8 Ohm low-impedance direct operation — providing 50W continuous pink noise \/ 100W continuous program power handling — and 70V\/100V distributed audio system operation via a 30W multi-tap transformer. Transformer tappings are available at 30W, 15W and 7.5W at both 70V and 100V, with an additional 3.8W tapping at 70V only, providing comprehensive flexibility for integration into large-scale distributed audio systems at the appropriate power level. A removable locking 4-pin connector with screw-down terminals accommodates wire up to 12 AWG (2.5mm²), with loop-through terminals for easy daisy-chaining and a dual strain relief assembly for use with cable or flex conduit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick \u0026amp; Easy Installation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Control 16C\/T is designed for fast, straightforward installation with a pre-attached blind-mount backcan that eliminates the need for separate back enclosure installation. The paintable UV resistant baffle — made from UL94-V0 and UL94-5HB rated material — allows the speaker to be painted to match any ceiling finish for a discreet, aesthetically clean installation result. A cardboard cutout template simplifies ceiling cutting, and the included tile support rails accommodate standard 2ft \/ 600mm tile spans, with the optional MTC-48TR tile rail available for larger 4ft \/ 1200mm spans. A safety seismic attachment ring on the top surface provides a secure attachment point for seismic restraint requirements, and the speaker is certified to UL1480, UL2043, NFPA90 and NFPA70 for use in air handling spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1309\" data-start=\"1038\"\u003eJBL Control 16C\/T Key Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6.5\" 2-Way Full-Range Ceiling Speaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professional driver configuration with polypropylene cone, butyl rubber surround and 19mm silk dome tweeter for consistent, high-quality commercial audio.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e91dB Sensitivity \/ 108dB Maximum SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e High efficiency and powerful output for medium to high-volume commercial audio applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e110° Conical Coverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wide, even sound distribution for consistent listening experience across the full coverage area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e50W Continuous Pink Noise \/ 100W Program (8 Ohm):\u003c\/strong\u003e Robust power handling for professional commercial installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e30W 70V\/100V Multi-Tap Transformer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tappings at 30W, 15W, 7.5W (70V \u0026amp;
