Description
The JBL Control 321CT is a large-format coaxial ceiling loudspeaker for clear speech and full-range music from the ceiling, with a multi-tap transformer for 70V or 100V lines. A 300 mm (12 in) Kevlar-reinforced woofer with a 50 mm (2 in) voice coil and a coaxial 25 mm (1 in) exit compression driver give consistent 90° coverage.
A high-slope crossover keeps coverage constant and the midrange natural. The drivers and transformer come mounted on a ported metal baffle that fits the MTC-300BB12 back box; the back box and the MTC-300SG12 grille are sold separately.
