JBL Control 47C/T - 150W 6.5-inch Passive 2-Way 70V/100V Ceiling Loudspeaker with Backcan and 120-Degree Coverage in White Finish

The JBL Professional Control 47C/T is a premium in-ceiling loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional performance with a combination of wide bandwidth, consistent coverage, and high-quality sound. Perfect for a range of applications, the Control 47C/T is engineered to provide an ultra-consistent, full-range audio experience, making it ideal for both small and large commercial and residential installations. The innovative design incorporates JBL's exclusive Radiation Boundary Integrator (RBI) technology, ensuring smooth and seamless integration between the low and high frequencies for a highly uniform listening experience throughout the space.

The Control 47C/T features a 165mm (6.5 in) polypropylene-coated woofer with a pure butyl rubber surround, which ensures long life and durability. The woofer is designed for low distortion and high sensitivity, utilizing a copper-clad aluminum voice coil wound on a vented aluminum former. This configuration provides deep, extended bass performance down to 55 Hz while maintaining clear, distortion-free sound at higher volumes. The coaxially mounted 25mm (1 in) soft dome tweeter features internal damping, which ensures smooth high-frequency response, along with ferrofluid cooling to enhance power handling and reduce power compression. The result is crisp, clear highs and a well-rounded, full-bodied low end.

In addition to its exceptional audio capabilities, the Control 47C/T offers a broad 120° coverage angle, which makes it ideal for large spaces where uniform sound distribution is required. The wide coverage reduces the number of speakers needed to fill the space, helping to minimize installation costs while ensuring excellent sound clarity. The control and integration of the sound across the space are further enhanced by the RBI technology, which provides a very consistent sound character with minimal variation throughout the listening area.

Designed for both low-impedance and distributed systems, the Control 47C/T can be easily switched between 8-ohm operation or 70V/100V distributed loudspeaker configurations. This flexibility ensures it can be used in a wide variety of applications. The integrated backcan allows for easy "blind-mount" installation, and the speaker comes with a pre-attached ported baffle, making it simple to install in both residential and commercial settings. Additionally, it is packaged with a grille and tile rails for secure and efficient mounting.

Overall, the JBL Professional Control 47C/T delivers superior performance, ease of installation, and the reliability required for demanding audio applications, making it an ideal choice for sound systems that require wide coverage, powerful bass, and clear, high-fidelity sound.
