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

The JBL Control 328CT is a premium 2-way coaxial ceiling loudspeaker designed for professional commercial and installed sound applications that require exceptional audio quality, high output capability, and distributed audio system compatibility. As part of JBL’s flagship Control Contractor Series, the Control 328CT combines advanced transducer technology, wide coverage, and constant-voltage operation to deliver outstanding music reproduction and speech intelligibility in a wide range of architectural environments.

The speaker features an 8-inch Kevlar-reinforced woofer paired with a 1-inch compression driver, providing powerful low-frequency performance, accurate midrange reproduction, and crisp high-frequency detail. The Kevlar woofer delivers excellent rigidity and durability for reduced distortion and enhanced clarity, while the compression driver ensures superior vocal intelligibility and extended high-frequency response.

With 250 watts of power handling, the Control 328CT is engineered for demanding applications where high sound pressure levels and reliable long-term operation are essential. Its professional-grade design enables dynamic music playback and clear speech reinforcement with exceptional fidelity.

An integrated 68W 70V/100V multi-tap transformer allows the Control 328CT to be seamlessly integrated into distributed audio systems commonly used in commercial facilities. This transformer supports efficient loudspeaker deployment across large audio zones while simplifying system design and installation.

The speaker provides a wide 120-degree coverage pattern, ensuring consistent sound distribution throughout the listening area. Its broad dispersion characteristics help reduce coverage gaps and deliver uniform audio quality across commercial spaces, making it ideal for distributed sound systems.

The coaxial driver architecture aligns the woofer and compression driver on the same acoustic axis, resulting in smooth frequency integration, balanced tonal response, and consistent performance both on and off axis. This design helps maintain natural sound quality throughout the coverage area.

A ported metal baffle enhances low-frequency efficiency and bass output while providing exceptional structural strength. The durable metal construction minimizes vibration and resonance, contributing to cleaner sound reproduction and reliable long-term performance.

Designed for premium architectural audio systems, the Control 328CT offers a discreet ceiling-mounted appearance while delivering the output and sonic performance expected from a professional loudspeaker system. Its combination of high power handling, wide coverage, and transformer integration makes it ideal for large-scale commercial installations.

Sold individually, the Control 328CT offers flexible deployment options for custom distributed audio systems and high-performance commercial sound reinforcement projects.

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