JBL Control 227C Premium Coaxial Ceiling Speaker, 6.5" Kevlar Woofer with 1" Compression Driver, 150W Power Handling, 8Ω, For Use with Pre-Install Backcan, Sold Individually, (CONTROL 227C)

JBL Control 227C Premium Coaxial Ceiling Speaker (CONTROL 227C)

The JBL Control 227C is a premium-performance coaxial ceiling loudspeaker designed for professional installed audio applications that demand exceptional sound quality, high output capability, and flexible installation options. As a member of JBL’s advanced Control Contractor Series, the Control 227C delivers outstanding music reproduction and speech intelligibility for commercial, hospitality, corporate, and entertainment environments.

At the core of the speaker is a 6.5-inch Kevlar-reinforced woofer combined with a 1-inch compression driver, providing powerful full-range performance with excellent clarity and detail. The Kevlar woofer offers enhanced rigidity for accurate low- and mid-frequency reproduction, while the compression driver delivers crisp, articulate high frequencies and superior vocal intelligibility.

The Control 227C supports 150 watts of power handling, enabling it to produce high sound pressure levels with low distortion. This makes it ideal for demanding foreground music systems, paging applications, and distributed audio installations where premium acoustic performance is required.

Unlike transformer-equipped ceiling speakers, the Control 227C features a direct 8-ohm impedance, making it well suited for low-impedance audio systems powered by professional amplifiers. This configuration provides maximum audio fidelity and dynamic performance in applications where constant-voltage operation is not required.

The coaxial driver design ensures smooth integration between low and high frequencies while maintaining consistent off-axis performance. This results in balanced sound quality throughout the listening area and improved coverage consistency for distributed audio systems.

The Control 227C is designed for use with a compatible pre-install backcan, allowing integrators to select the appropriate enclosure solution based on project requirements. This modular approach provides installation flexibility while supporting optimal acoustic performance.

Its architectural design allows the loudspeaker to blend discreetly into ceiling environments while delivering premium JBL sound quality. The speaker is ideal for installations where aesthetics are important but uncompromising audio performance remains a priority.

Sold individually, the Control 227C offers flexible system design options for both small and large-scale commercial audio installations.

Ideal for hotels, restaurants, retail stores, corporate offices, conference centers, educational facilities, entertainment venues, houses of worship, hospitality spaces, and commercial AV installations, the JBL Control 227C delivers professional-grade ceiling audio performance with exceptional clarity, output, and reliability.
