JBL Control 14C/T Two-Way 4″ Coaxial Ceiling Loudspeaker

Professional Ceiling Speaker for Commercial Audio Systems

The JBL Control 14C/T is a two-way 4-inch coaxial ceiling loudspeaker engineered for reliable, high-quality sound in commercial and institutional environments. Designed for background music and paging, this speaker delivers consistent, intelligible audio coverage in retail spaces, restaurants, offices, hospitality venues, educational facilities, and transportation hubs. Its compact form factor and clean appearance make it easy to integrate into modern ceiling designs without compromising sound performance.

Wide Coverage with Clear and Balanced Sound

This ceiling speaker uses a coaxial design that combines a 4-inch low-frequency driver with a centrally mounted 19 mm soft-dome tweeter. The result is smooth frequency response and wide 120-degree coverage that maintains clarity both on and off axis. This wide dispersion helps reduce the number of speakers required per space while maintaining even sound distribution across listening areas.

Durable Driver Components for Long-Term Reliability

The low-frequency driver features a polypropylene cone that resists moisture and humidity, making it suitable for long-term use in commercial environments. A butyl rubber surround adds durability and sonic damping, while a high-temperature voice coil and anodized aluminum former ensure stable performance during extended operating hours. The silk-dome tweeter is liquid-cooled for improved power handling and delivers clean, warm high-frequency detail.

Designed for Fast and Secure Installation

The Control 14C/T includes a pre-attached blind-mount backcan that simplifies installation in ceiling tiles and drywall. A removable locking connector with screw terminals allows for secure wiring and loop-through connections. Dual strain-relief clamps support both conduit and cable installations, providing flexibility for different building requirements. Included tile rails, a C-ring, and a cutout template further streamline the installation process.

Flexible Operation for Distributed Audio Systems

This ceiling loudspeaker supports both low-impedance and distributed audio systems. It can operate as an 8-ohm speaker or as part of a 70V or 100V system using its built-in multi-tap transformer. This flexibility makes it ideal for scalable commercial sound systems where zoning and long cable runs are required without sacrificing sound quality.

Clean Appearance with Installer-Friendly Details

The vented baffle is paintable and made from UV-resistant material, allowing the speaker to blend seamlessly into ceiling designs. A magnetic grille provides a finished look while allowing easy access for service. A seismic safety attachment point on the backcan adds an extra layer of security for installations in public or regulated spaces.
