Powerful Two-Way Audio Performance

Designed for smooth, full-range sound reproduction, the JBL Control 426LP features a 6.5-inch woofer paired with a 0.75-inch textile soft-dome tweeter in a coaxial configuration for excellent phase alignment and sonic consistency.

With a frequency range of 58 Hz to 18 kHz, the speaker provides strong bass performance, articulate vocals, and detailed high-frequency reproduction suitable for both background and foreground music applications.

CRBI™ Technology with Wide 120° Coverage

The JBL Control 426LP delivers a broad 120° conical coverage pattern, ensuring smooth and even sound distribution across commercial spaces.

JBL’s proprietary CRBI™ technology delivers exceptionally even frequency response across a broad listening area, improving intelligibility and tonal balance throughout the space.. Its CRBI™ waveguide design minimizes audio hot spots and dead zones, enabling efficient distributed audio system layouts with fewer speakers while maintaining excellent sonic consistency.

Ultra-Shallow Design for Limited Ceiling Depth

A key advantage of the JBL Control 426LP is its low-profile enclosure, designed specifically for installations where plenum depth is restricted.

The built-in transformer supports both 70V/100V distributed systems and 16Ω low-impedance operation, providing excellent flexibility for professional commercial audio installations.

Modern Architectural Aesthetic

The JBL Control 426LP features a full-face, bezel-less magnetic grille that blends seamlessly into modern commercial interiors. Its refined low-profile design makes it ideal for architecturally sensitive ceiling installations.
