Jbl Professional CONTROL26C 6.5 in Two-way Ceiling Speaker

Product Description

The JBL PROFESSIONAL CONTROL26C is a two-way vented in-ceiling speaker sold as a pair. Designed for permanent installation in commercial and residential ceiling applications, these 6.5-inch speakers deliver full-range audio coverage in suspended or hard-lid ceiling assemblies. The vented enclosure design supports extended low-frequency response without requiring a separate subwoofer in many light-commercial installs. This product is noted as discontinued by the manufacturer; installations requiring long-term serviceability should verify parts availability before specifying.

The CONTROL26C targets commercial audio contractors, AV integrators, and installation technicians working in retail spaces, offices, hospitality venues, conference rooms, and similar distributed-audio environments. The in-ceiling form factor keeps the speaker flush with the ceiling surface, maintaining the aesthetic of the space while delivering background music or paging-system audio. Units are sold as a pair, making them well-suited for stereo zones or dual-mono coverage layouts.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed AV integrator or low-voltage audio contractor. Cut-out templates should be used to size the ceiling opening correctly before mounting. De-energize the audio amplifier or mixer and verify zero signal present before making speaker wiring connections. Follow local building codes and NEC low-voltage wiring requirements for in-ceiling speaker installations in plenum or non-plenum spaces.
