Jbl Professional Control 12C/T-BK In-ceiling Speaker

Product Description

The JBL PROFESSIONAL CONTROL 12C/T-BK is an in-ceiling loudspeaker designed for commercial and residential audio distribution applications. Rated at 20 watts with an 8-ohm impedance, this speaker is sold as a pair and ships in a black finish. It is intended for permanent ceiling installation in spaces where distributed audio coverage is required, such as lobbies, offices, retail environments, and hospitality settings. Installation is typically performed by licensed audio or low-voltage contractors working within local building and electrical codes.

This speaker fits into standard ceiling cutouts and is suited for background music, paging, and general audio distribution systems. The black finish allows it to blend into darker ceiling surfaces. The CONTROL 12C/T designation indicates compatibility with both low-impedance (8-ohm direct) and transformer-coupled 70V or 25V distributed audio systems, making it adaptable to a range of commercial sound setups. Pairs are matched at the factory for consistent coverage across stereo or dual-mono installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or audio contractor familiar with local electrical and building codes. Power down the amplifier or distribution system before making any wiring connections. Follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for in-wall and in-ceiling speaker wiring, including the use of CL2 or CL3 rated cable where required. Do not exceed the rated wattage of the speaker when setting amplifier output levels.
