JBL Control 12C/T Professional Series 3" 40W Passive Ceiling Loudspeaker (Pair, Black)
Overview
The black JBL Control 12C/T is a pair of Professional Series 3" 40W passive ceiling loudspeakers designed to deliver generous coverage and pleasing sound for low- to medium-volume applications such as offices, retail stores, hotels, and educational institutions.
Featuring a 3" full-range driver that handles up to 40W of continuous program power, the Control 12C/T is capable of producing a peak maximum SPL of 103 dB and a frequency range of 68 Hz to 17 kHz (-10 dB) while its 130° conical dispersion pattern ensures more coverage with fewer speakers.
The integrated 15W multi-tap transformer offers taps at 70V and 100V, plus a transformer bypass setting for low-impedance operation at 8 ohms. The UV-resistant, paintable ABS baffle comes with a pre-attached back can that enables fast and simple installation.
For low- to medium-volume applications such as music cafes, business music systems, retail stores, music/paging systems, airports, reception/waiting rooms, lounges, courtrooms, convention centers, hotels, and educational facilities
3" full-range driver with a lightweight high-temperature Kapton voice coil former and an aluminum coupling ring to reduce distortion and extend the high-frequency response of the system
FEA-optimized motor construction and cone geometry allow for smooth frequency response and improved off-axis performance
