JBL Professional has announced the Control 400 Enhanced Coverage Series ceiling loudspeakers. As the successor to the Control 20 Series, the Control 400 Series claims improved performance, improved conical coverage, enhanced installation features, and a more modern aesthetic. Intended applications include retail stores, corporate offices, education spaces and transit spaces.
Adapted from JBL tour sound technologies, the new models use latest iteration of Radiation Boundary Integrator (RBI) technology: the Coplanar RBI or CRBI. This provides an especially smooth sound character that remains consistent and clear across a wide coverage area. This enhanced coverage results in more consistent levels and can lead to fewer required speakers and amplifier channels, and project savings.
All models in the series include an all-new, full-face magnetic grille that blends with modern decors. The supplied white grille can be easily painted to match any application decor. Optional black and square grilles are also available.
Per JBL’s ongoing commitment to installer-centric design, the series includes a variety of mounting enhancements to improve installation repeatability and safety while reducing installation time. Terminal covers provide top and side cable entry ports and can be secured without tools thanks to captive hand-screws. The captive dogear design is extremely reliable and works with a wide range of ceiling thicknesses. Additionally, all models include transformers to support both 70V/100V and low impedance applications.
There are six models available; the core models are the Control 426C/T and the Control 424C/T, two-way coaxial ceiling loudspeakers with 6.5-inch and 4-inch woofers, respectively. For applications where ceiling plenum space is limited, low-profile versions of those models, the Control 426LP and Control 424LP, are also available. The Control 426C/T-LS has been certified to the UL1480 Standard, expanding application possibilities into life-safety designs. Finally, the Control 419CS/T is a high power, low distortion 8-inch in-ceiling subwoofer that augments any design that requires extended low-end performance.
An 8-inch ceiling subwoofer is also available, wherever added low-frequency support is needed.
