JBL Control 227C 6.5″ Coaxial Ceiling Loudspeaker with HF Compression Driver

JBL Professional Control 227C/CT in-ceiling loudspeaker

Control 227C and Control 227CT are premium professional in-ceiling loudspeakers developed for installations that require high-quality audio performance combined with architectural flexibility. These models are specifically intended for use with a pre-install backcan, allowing system designers to plan infrastructure in advance while maintaining high acoustic standards.

The loudspeaker employs a coaxial configuration built around a Kevlar-reinforced 165 mm (6.5 inch) low-frequency woofer and a 25 mm compression driver. This design enables controlled directivity, efficient power usage, and accurate alignment between low and high frequencies. The result is exceptional clarity for speech and vocals, along with extended frequency response suitable for music playback.

Control 227C/CT provides a consistent 120-degree broadband coverage pattern, ensuring even sound distribution throughout the listening area. This constant-directivity performance helps reduce hot spots and drop-off, making it ideal for spaces where uniform coverage is critical. An advanced high-slope crossover network supports smooth midrange response and maintains tonal balance at varying listening levels.

With a power handling capability of up to 150 watts, the loudspeaker is suitable for demanding commercial environments. The metal baffle and ported design contribute to durability and controlled acoustic performance. While the backcan and grille are available separately, this modular approach allows compatibility with different backcan sizes and installation requirements, including plenum-rated configurations when used with approved accessories.

Control 227C/CT is appropriate for conference rooms, hotels, houses of worship, educational facilities, retail environments, and corporate spaces where ceiling-mounted audio must meet professional performance expectations. Manufactured in China, it combines acoustic precision, installation flexibility, and compliance-focused design in a premium in-ceiling loudspeaker solution.
