JBL Control 24CT Micro Plus - 25W 4.5-inch Passive 2-Way 70V/100V Ceiling Speaker with Backcan and 150-Degree Coverage in White Finish

The JBL Professional Control 24CT MicroPlus is a compact yet powerful ceiling speaker designed to deliver high-quality sound for background music, paging, and music-plus-paging systems. Ideal for a wide range of commercial environments such as restaurants, retail stores, airports, and professional offices, this speaker offers exceptional sound quality with minimal distortion. With a wide coverage angle of 150° and a smooth, natural frequency response, the Control 24CT MicroPlus ensures even sound distribution across the listening area, making it an excellent choice for medium-volume applications. Whether used in business music systems or other sound reinforcement setups, the Control 24CT MicroPlus delivers clear and reliable audio performance.

Equipped with a 4.5-inch woofer made of injection-molded graphite (IMG), the Control 24CT MicroPlus offers durability and consistent performance, even in challenging environments. The woofer's butyl rubber surround ensures longevity and smooth operation, while the 12mm polycarbonate tweeter provides extended high-frequency response. This combination of drivers results in a well-rounded sound profile that delivers both clear highs and deep lows. The speaker's frequency range extends from 80 Hz to 25 kHz, ensuring a full spectrum of sound suitable for a variety of applications.

The Control 24CT MicroPlus includes a 25W multi-tap transformer for use with 70V/100V systems, allowing it to be easily integrated into distributed audio setups. The transformer features multiple taps for flexibility, including 25W, 12W, and 6W settings for 70V systems and 25W and 12W taps for 100V systems. This allows the speaker to be configured according to the needs of the installation, providing excellent sound coverage without the need for separate equalization. The speaker is perfect for use in commercial spaces that require clear, uniform audio at medium to low sound pressure levels.

Installation of the Control 24CT MicroPlus is quick and easy, with the speaker coming complete with a backcan, grille, support backing bracket, and tile rails for fast setup. The speaker's shallow 4-inch depth makes it ideal for installations where space is limited, and the included template and tile support rails make it easy to install in suspended ceiling systems. The speaker's C-shaped support backing plate provides additional stability, ensuring secure mounting even in challenging conditions. Optional new construction brackets are available to further simplify installation in both retrofit and new construction projects.

Built to last, the Control 24CT MicroPlus features a durable, formed steel backcan and medium-impact polystyrene baffle/rim. The speaker is also designed to withstand the elements, with a fire-rated UL94V-0 enclosure and the ability to operate in air-handling spaces. It is UL and CE rated, making it suitable for commercial and industrial use. Additionally, the speaker's trim and baffle are paintable, allowing it to blend seamlessly with any decor. Whether used in a professional office, retail space, or other commercial setting, the Control 24CT MicroPlus provides reliable, high-fidelity sound that meets the demands of modern audio systems.
