The JBL CONTROL 47C/T is a high-performance ceiling loudspeaker from the Control 40 Series, engineered to deliver consistent coverage and extended bass response for professional distributed audio systems. This model is designed to provide superior sonic performance in commercial and residential installations where a single speaker must cover a larger area with even, high-fidelity sound. It features a 6.5-inch mineral-filled polypropylene woofer and a 1-inch titanium laminate compression driver, a combination that ensures robust low-frequency extension and detailed, clear high-frequency reproduction. The speaker’s advanced acoustic design focuses on maintaining a uniform frequency response across its wide dispersion pattern, making it ideal for applications in boardrooms, restaurants, retail spaces, and houses of worship where consistent tonal quality throughout the listening zone is critical.

A key attribute of the CONTROL 47C/T is its sophisticated constant-directivity waveguide, which is integrated with the compression driver to control high-frequency dispersion and minimize ceiling reflections. This results in improved speech intelligibility and a more natural sound, as the acoustic energy is directed toward the listening area rather than being absorbed or reflected by the ceiling surface. The speaker includes a multi-tap transformer for seamless integration into 70V or 100V constant-voltage systems, while also supporting low-impedance operation for applications requiring the highest audio fidelity. This flexibility allows installers to balance output levels across different zones easily and integrate the speaker into a wide variety of existing audio architectures.

Built for durability and a clean aesthetic finish, the speaker features a paintable, low-profile grille that sits flush with the ceiling tile for a discreet appearance. The rigid die-cast aluminum frame ensures long-term stability and reliable performance. The CONTROL 47C/T is designed for use with a separate back can or in plenum-rated spaces, providing installation versatility. By combining extended bass response, controlled directivity, and commercial-grade construction, the JBL CONTROL 47C/T offers a premium ceiling speaker solution that delivers powerful, articulate, and evenly distributed sound for demanding audio environments.
