Product Overview
The JBL Control 12C/T is a compact 3-inch full-range ceiling loudspeaker, sold as a pair, for background and foreground audio in commercial interiors. This passive ceiling speaker mounts a wide-bandwidth cone driver in a vented, paintable baffle with a pre-attached blind-mount backcan for fast installation. Combined 70V/100V and 8-ohm operation makes it adaptable for distributed paging and music systems in offices, retail spaces, and hospitality areas.
Product Description
The Control 12C/T uses a 76 mm (3 in) wide-bandwidth full-range cone driver housed in a UV-resistant UL94-V0 baffle, with a blind-mount backcan that allows quick tile or drywall installation. It delivers 68 Hz to 17 kHz bandwidth with a wide 130-degree coverage pattern for even room fill. The speaker offers combined operation: 20 watts at 8 ohms nominal, plus a 15-watt multi-tap setting at 70V/100V for constant-voltage lines. Its compact, paintable design keeps visual impact low in finished ceilings. Browse related models in our JBL Professional installed audio collection.
