JBL Control 412C/T 3-Inch Full-Range Ceiling Loudspeaker (Pair)

JBL Control 412C/T 3-Inch Full-Range Ceiling Loudspeaker

The JBL Control 412C/T is a 3-inch full-range ceiling loudspeaker from the Control 400 Standard Coverage Series, delivering 160-degree wide-dispersion coverage and up to 80W peak power handling - making it one of the most compact, high-coverage solutions available for commercial background music and paging applications.

Designed for retail stores, corporate lobbies, hospitality venues, and transit spaces where consistent sound coverage matters, the Control 412C/T integrates into both 70V/100V distributed audio systems and low-impedance direct-drive configurations. Its 8-ohm impedance enables paralleling of up to two speakers from a 4-ohm amplifier channel, offering flexible system design.

All Control 400 Series models are engineered with installer-friendly features: terminal covers with top and side cable entry, captive hand-screws for tool-free securing, and a captive dogear mounting system compatible with a wide range of ceiling thicknesses. The full-face magnetic grille is paintable and includes an integrated safety tether, meeting UL 1480A, UL 2043, NFPA 90A, and NFPA 70 requirements for plenum-rated installations.

Key Features

• Wide 160-Degree Coverage: Delivers exceptionally even sound dispersion across large areas, minimizing dead zones and reducing the number of speakers required per zone.
• Integrated 70V/100V Transformer: Includes a 15W multi-tap transformer for seamless integration into distributed audio systems, with low saturation at high drive levels for clean sound.
• Paintable Magnetic Grille: Full-face bezel-less magnetic grille accepts standard latex paint, blending into any ceiling decor with a modern, refined appearance.
• Captive Dogear Mounting: Tool-compatible dogear system accommodates a wide range of ceiling thicknesses for reliable, repeatable installations.
