Compact in-ceiling speakers
JBL Control 24CT Micro speakers are compact and relatively shallow, so you can mount them in ceilings that might not accommodate a larger speaker. Each features a 4-1/2" injection molded graphite cone woofer with butyl rubber surround and 1/2" polycarbonate tweeter for clear, audible background music and announcements in your place of business. A built-in power tap lets you incorporate multiple speakers into a 70-volt commercial audio system.

Product Research
Features
Overview: The JBL Control 24CT is a 70/100 volt, full-range, ceiling speaker made up of a 4-1/2" cone driver and a 1/2" polycarbonate tweeter mounted in a vented, paintable baffle with an attached blindmount backcan. It features multiple tap settings with the highest at 9 watts power for both 70 and 100 volts. The speaker is designed to provide excellent sound quality for both background music and music-plus-paging applications such as cafes, business music systems, retail stores, hotels, and more. With 150˚ of conical coverage, the speaker delivers consistent sound quality and a smooth frequency response for listeners both on and off axis. The speaker's exposed baffle is made of paintable medium impact polystyrene, with a UL94-V-0 flame class fire rating, and the backcan is made of formed steel.
Two-Way Coaxial Design: The Control 24CT contains a coaxially mounted 4-1/2" woofer and 1/2" tweeter providing high-fidelity sound over an extremely wide coverage area.
- 4-1/2" Woofer: The 4-1/2" woofer features an injection molded graphite cone and pure butyl rubber surround for long life, even in high humidity and wet environments.
- 1/2" Tweeter: The 1/2" polycarbonate tweeter provides a wide dispersion coverage area and a smooth frequency response.
70V/100V Compatible: The Control 24CT includes a 9 watt multi-tap transformer for use in either 70V or 100V distributed-line systems. Tap settings are made using individual speaker wire set-screws provided for each wattage setting. No transformer bypass is provided.
- 70V Taps: 0.5W, 1W, 2W, 4W, and 9W
- 100V Taps: 1W, 2W, 4W, and 9W
Connection: Input connection is provided on a fixed connector block that includes individual set-screws for COM (-) and each of the separate wattage settings (0.5W-9W). Two strain relief clips are provided for securing the speaker wires, along with metal terminal covers.
Mounting Options: The loudspeakers are packaged complete with the backcan, grille, support backing bracket, and tile rails. A template is provided for marking the cutout and an innovative C-shaped support backing plate can be installed from below through the cutout to reinforce the top of the ceiling material. Tile bridge rails are included which can be screwed onto the C-plate to extend support to the T-channel grid in suspended ceiling installations. After the speaker is fitted through the cutout, it is held securely in place via four mounting tabs which tighten onto the C-plate, if used, or directly onto the ceiling material.
