The JBL CONTROL 322C is a high-output, 12-inch coaxial ceiling loudspeaker engineered for demanding commercial sound applications where powerful, clear audio coverage over large areas is required. This speaker utilizes a sophisticated coaxial design, integrating a high-frequency compression driver concentrically within the large 12-inch woofer. This point-source configuration ensures precise phase coherence and uniform sound dispersion, delivering articulate music reproduction and exceptional speech intelligibility across wide listening areas. The substantial woofer provides robust low-frequency response and high efficiency, making the CONTROL 322C capable of generating high sound pressure levels with low distortion, ideal for covering spacious environments such as convention centers, sports facilities, transportation hubs, large retail stores, and worship sanctuaries.

Designed for professional installation, the speaker features a rugged, galvanized steel back-can with an adjustable mounting system that securely clamps to various ceiling structures. It includes a multi-tap line-matching transformer for seamless integration into 70V or 100V constant voltage distributed systems, as well as an 8-ohm low-impedance mode for direct amplifier connection. This dual compatibility offers system designers maximum flexibility. The speaker also incorporates adjustable high-frequency controls, accessible after grille removal, allowing installers to tailor the tonal balance to the specific acoustics of the installation space. The low-profile, paintable grille ensures a discreet visual presence that blends with most ceiling finishes.

For audio consultants and system integrators, the JBL CONTROL 322C is a go-to solution for projects requiring high-performance, reliable distributed audio. Its combination of high sensitivity, significant power handling, and wide, even dispersion allows for efficient system design with fewer speakers per area, potentially lowering overall system cost and complexity. Built to the rigorous standards of the JBL Control series, it is designed for long-term reliability in continuous-use applications, providing consistent, high-fidelity sound reinforcement that meets the professional demands of large-scale commercial installations.
