Compact Full-Range Audio Performance
Designed for clear speech intelligibility and smooth background music reproduction, the JBL Control 442C/T features a 60 mm (2.5-inch) full-range driver with a paper cone, nitrile-butadiene rubber surround, and lightweight CCAW voice coil for efficient performance and reliability.
