Superior Two-Way Audio Performance

Engineered for clear, balanced, and full-range sound reproduction, the JBL Control 426C/T features a 6.5-inch woofer and 1-inch textile soft-dome tweeter in a coaxial configuration for improved phase alignment and sonic consistency.

With a frequency range of 72 Hz to 19 kHz, the speaker delivers articulate vocals, strong midrange presence, and detailed high-frequency response suitable for both background and foreground music applications.

CRBI™ Technology with Consistent 110° Coverage
