Jbl Professional Control 16C/T-BK In-ceiling Speaker 50W

Product Description

The JBL PROFESSIONAL CONTROL 16C/T-BK is a 50-watt, 8-ohm in-ceiling speaker designed for commercial and residential audio distribution systems. Featuring a 6.5-inch driver, this unit delivers reliable speech and music reproduction in ceiling-mount applications. It is sold as a pair and finished in black to suit standard ceiling tile and drywall installations. Audio installers and low-voltage technicians specify this model for background music and paging systems where consistent coverage and clean aesthetics are required.

This speaker is suited for light commercial and residential environments including offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and common areas. The ceiling-mount form factor makes it a standard choice for distributed audio systems driven by 70-volt or 8-ohm amplifier outputs. The black finish blends with dark ceiling surfaces and grid tile systems. Installation is typically performed by low-voltage audio-visual technicians or licensed electricians familiar with distributed sound infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring guidelines. Power down the amplifier and verify zero voltage at the speaker terminals before making connections. Use a ceiling cut-out template sized for the 6.5-inch driver frame and ensure adequate plenum clearance above the mounting surface. Do not exceed the rated 50-watt input to avoid driver damage.
