Description:
The Control 26C is a compact ceiling speaker providing premium
performance in background, foreground music sound systems. The
Control 26C is perfectly suited for a wide variety of applications from
casinos and hotels to upscale restaurants and themed locations. High
power handling, wide frequency response and low distortion make
the Control 26C ideal for sound systems requiring a higher fidelity
sound from ceiling loudspeakers. The premium performance capability
ensures excellent sound character, providing pleasant, enveloping sound
throughout the listening area.
The Control 26C’s 16 ohm impedance allows use of multiple speakers
in parallel without having to use a more expensive constant voltage
distributed system. The optional Control 26CT version includes a multitap
transformer for 70V/100V systems.
JBL’s exclusive SonicGuard overload protection is a non-invasive
loudspeaker protection system that is inaudible to the listener, ensuring
reliability while providing full fidelity sound. The computer-optimized
ported enclosure delivers warm, smooth bass response. Low frequency
output can be further augmented with the addition of one of the Control
Contractor subwoofer models.
The 165 mm (6.5 in) woofer features a polyurethane-coated cone
and pure butyl rubber surround for long life, even in high humidity
environments. An aluminum voice coil former provides extra cooling for
greater long-term power handling.
The coaxially mounted 19 mm (¾ in) titanium coated tweeter provides
crisp, clear highs. Diffraction-loading of the tweeter provides wide, even
coverage of the listening area. The extremely broad 110° coverage
pattern allows for fewer speakers to be used, making for a simpler and
less expensive installation.

Continuous Pink Noise rating is IEC-shaped pink noise with a 6 dB crest factor for
100 hours continuously. Continuous Program power is a conservative expression
of the system’s ability to handle normal speech and music program material and is
defined as 3 dB above the Continuous Pink Noise Rating.
