JBL Control 226CT 6.5" 2-Way 150W Coaxial Ceiling Loudspeakers (Pair, White)

Product Overview

The JBL Control 226CT is a passive 6.5-inch coaxial ceiling loudspeaker with a multi-tap transformer, sold as a pair, built for voice amplification and foreground music in commercial interiors. A baffle-mounted impedance switch lets this 70V/100V ceiling speaker also run at 8 ohms, so it adapts to distributed or low-impedance systems. With a Kevlar-reinforced woofer and a titanium compression driver, it delivers clear speech and extended music response for boardrooms, conference rooms, and other commercial meeting spaces.

Product Description

The Control 226CT pairs a 165 mm (6.5 in) Kevlar-reinforced woofer with a 25 mm (1 in) exit titanium compression driver in a coaxial arrangement, yielding a frequency response of 74 Hz to 17 kHz and a long-term power capacity of 150 W. Consistent 120-degree broadband pattern control provides even coverage across the listening area, and an advanced high-slope crossover supports a smooth, natural midrange. A low-saturation transformer with a baffle-mounted impedance switch allows operation on 70V/100V lines or at 8 ohms. An integrated back can and contemporary grille complete the package.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Control 226CT run on both 70V and 8-ohm systems? Yes. A baffle-mounted impedance switch selects 70V/100V transformer operation or 8-ohm direct operation.

What makes the coaxial design useful for ceilings? The woofer and compression driver share a common axis, which provides consistent 120-degree coverage and clear speech directly below and around the speaker.

Is a back can included? Yes. The Control 226CT has an integrated back can and ships with a contemporary grille.

Is it suitable for both speech and music? Yes. The 74 Hz to 17 kHz response and titanium compression driver support clear voice amplification and foreground music.

What warranty and support apply? The Control 226CT carries the JBL Professional warranty, and Creation Networks can assist with transformer-tap planning and system design.
