Stepping up from the Control 16C\/T with a larger 200mm (8\") LF driver, the Control 18C\/T provides greater output capability, deeper bass extension down to 58Hz and higher maximum SPL of 112dB — making it the ideal choice for larger or more acoustically challenging spaces where the 6.5\" model may not provide sufficient coverage or output. 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 18C\/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.

A lightweight, high-temperature anodised aluminium voice coil former and high-temperature-grade voice coil provide consistent 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 90° conical coverage pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 25mm (1\") 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 for wide coverage and smooth frequency response. A 2nd order crossover network provides clean driver integration across the full 58Hz to 20kHz frequency range, and a high sensitivity of 92dB — one decibel above the Control 16C\/T — 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 18C\/T is switchable for both 8 Ohm low-impedance direct operation — providing 90W continuous pink noise and 180W continuous program power handling — and 70V\/100V distributed audio system operation via a 60W multi-tap transformer. Transformer tappings are available at 60W, 30W and 15W at both 70V and 100V, with an additional 7.5W tapping at 70V only, providing comprehensive flexibility for integration into large-scale distributed audio systems. 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 18C\/T features the same practical installation design as the Control 16C\/T — a pre-attached blind-mount backcan, paintable UV resistant baffle rated UL94-V0 and UL94-5HB, cardboard cutout template for simplified ceiling cutting, and tile support rails for standard 2ft \/ 600mm tile spans. A safety seismic attachment ring on the top surface provides a secure attachment point, and the grille is supplied with a safety tether. The speaker is certified to UL1480, UL2043, NFPA90 and NFPA70 for use in air handling spaces, meeting the installation compliance requirements of professional commercial and public building environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1038\" data-end=\"1309\"\u003eJBL Control 18C\/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\u003e8\" 2-Way Full-Range Ceiling Speaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Larger driver configuration than the Control 16C\/T for greater output, deeper bass and higher SPL in more demanding commercial installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e92dB Sensitivity \/ 112dB Maximum SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Higher efficiency and output than the Control 16C\/T for consistent coverage across larger spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e90° Conical Coverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Even, consistent sound distribution across the listening area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e90W Continuous Pink Noise \/ 180W Program (8 Ohm):\u003c\/strong\u003e Higher power handling than the Control 16C\/T for demanding medium to high-volume applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e58Hz–20kHz Frequency Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deeper bass extension than the Control 16C\/T for fuller, more natural sound reproduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e60W 70V\/100V Multi-Tap Transformer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tappings at 60W, 30W, 15W (70V \u0026amp;
