JBL Control 426C/T 6.5-Inch CRBI 2-Way Coaxial Ceiling Loudspeaker

The JBL Control 426C/T is a 6.5-inch two-way coaxial ceiling loudspeaker from the Control 400 Enhanced Coverage Series, combining a coaxially mounted 165 mm woofer and 25 mm soft-dome tweeter with JBL's exclusive CRBI (Coplanar Radiation Boundary Integrator) technology for consistent coverage throughout the listening space - replacing the legacy Control 26C and 26C/T.

With 75 watts of continuous power handling and controlled 110-degree conical coverage, the Control 426C/T is the workhorse choice for premium retail, restaurants, conference facilities, and hospitality venues that demand higher fidelity and output than standard-series ceiling speakers. Its 70V/100V multi-tap transformer and low-impedance operation cover any distributed or direct amplifier architecture.

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.
