JBL Control 42C Ultra-Compact Ceiling Satellite Speaker
The JBL Control 42C is an ultra-compact, in-ceiling satellite loudspeaker engineered specifically to work with the Control 40CS/T in-ceiling subwoofer. This premium audio solution creates an exceptionally natural sounding and powerful subwoofer-satellite system that delivers wide bandwidth performance with minimal visual impact. Featuring a high-quality 2.5-inch driver with polypropylene cone and butyl rubber surround, the Control 42C provides crisp, detailed sound reproduction across a wide 160° coverage angle, making it perfect for restaurants, retail environments, hotel lobbies, and conference rooms where superior audio quality and discreet installation are essential.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the Control 42C can be configured with either 2 or 4 satellite speakers driven from a single Control 40CS/T subwoofer, with the crossover integrated directly into the subwoofer for simplified installation. This versatile system can be operated in either low-impedance direct mode or as part of a 70V/100V distributed speaker system when used with the subwoofer, accommodating various commercial audio applications. The elegant, unobtrusive design features a sleek 5-inch diameter profile with a depth of only 4.2 inches, allowing the speakers to blend seamlessly into any architectural environment while delivering consistent, high-fidelity sound throughout the listening area.
