JBL Control 328C Premium 2-Way Coaxial Ceiling Speaker (CONTROL 328C)

The JBL Control 328C is a premium 2-way coaxial ceiling loudspeaker designed for high-performance commercial and professional installed audio applications. As part of JBL’s flagship Control Contractor Series, the Control 328C delivers exceptional sound quality, wide coverage, and high output capability, making it ideal for foreground music, background music, paging, and speech reinforcement systems.

The speaker features an 8-inch Kevlar-reinforced woofer combined with a 1-inch compression driver, providing powerful low-frequency response, articulate midrange performance, and detailed high-frequency reproduction. The Kevlar woofer offers superior stiffness and durability, reducing distortion while maintaining accurate bass and vocal reproduction. The compression driver ensures excellent clarity and intelligibility, even at higher sound pressure levels.

With 250 watts of power handling, the Control 328C is engineered for demanding audio environments where high output and long-term reliability are essential. Its professional-grade transducer design allows it to reproduce music and speech with exceptional dynamic range and minimal distortion.

The loudspeaker provides a broad 120-degree coverage pattern, delivering consistent sound distribution across large listening areas. This wide dispersion helps reduce coverage gaps and ensures uniform audio performance throughout commercial spaces, making it ideal for distributed audio systems.

Its coaxial driver configuration aligns the woofer and compression driver on the same acoustic axis, resulting in smooth frequency integration, balanced tonal response, and consistent off-axis performance. This design helps maintain natural sound quality regardless of listener position.

The Control 328C utilizes a ported metal baffle design that enhances bass efficiency and low-frequency output while providing excellent structural rigidity. The robust metal construction minimizes resonance and vibration, contributing to cleaner, more accurate sound reproduction.

Designed for premium architectural installations, the Control 328C offers the performance of a professional loudspeaker while maintaining a discreet ceiling-mounted appearance. It is well suited for applications where both aesthetics and audio quality are important.

Sold individually, the Control 328C provides flexible deployment options for custom audio system designs and large-scale commercial installations.

Ideal for hotels, restaurants, retail stores, conference centers, corporate offices, educational facilities, healthcare environments, hospitality venues, houses of worship, entertainment spaces, and professional AV installations, the JBL Control 328C delivers premium full-range audio performance with outstanding clarity, coverage, and reliability.
