JBL Control 328CT Ceiling Speaker

This speaker is designed for professional settings that require high-fidelity sound, such as conference rooms, retail spaces, or hospitality venues. It is specifically voiced to provide clear speech intelligibility and high-quality music reproduction.

Yes, as a passive speaker, the Control 328CT requires an external amplifier to power it. It handles up to 250 watts of power, making it capable of delivering significant volume in larger spaces.

The integrated transformer allows you to connect the speaker to a 70V or 100V distributed audio system. This is ideal for installations where you need to daisy-chain multiple speakers over long distances without significant signal loss.

The coaxial configuration places the compression driver in the center of the 8-inch woofer. This design ensures that high and low frequencies originate from the same point, resulting in a more cohesive sound and consistent 120° coverage across the room.

The speaker features an EZ-Rail frame system designed to simplify the mounting process. While it is a professional-grade unit, this rail system helps manage the weight and alignment during installation, making it more manageable for installers.

Kevlar is a rigid, lightweight material that resists distortion even at higher volumes. Using it in the woofer cone helps the speaker maintain tight, accurate bass response and clear midrange performance.
