JBL Control 227CT 6.5" 2-Way 150W Coaxial Ceiling Loudspeaker (Single, 70V/100V or 8 Ohms)

Product Overview

The JBL Control 227CT is a passive 6.5-inch coaxial ceiling loudspeaker with a 60 W multi-tap transformer, sold individually, for voice amplification and foreground music in commercial interiors. The low-saturation transformer lets this 70V/100V ceiling speaker also run at 8 ohms, adapting 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 commercial meeting spaces.

Product Description

The Control 227CT 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, and an advanced high-slope crossover supports a smooth, natural midrange. A 60 W low-saturation multi-tap transformer allows operation on 70V/100V lines or at 8 ohms. A separate back can and contemporary grille are available.
