Description
Styled in white, this pair of JBL Control 16C/T Speakers are designed to suit a variety of spaces, such as cafes, places of business, airport lounges, reception areas, court rooms, and more. They feature a 2-way coaxial design, giving you a 6.5″ cone driver and a 0.75″ soft-dome, liquid-cooled tweeter. With their coaxial construction, these speakers deliver a more consistent sound off-axis, which is a benefit for environments in which indirect listening takes place.
The drivers themselves are designed using a high-temperature anodized aluminum voice coil former and high-temperature voice coil to ensure a reliable performance throughout years of continuous use. Butyl rubber encloses the drivers, offering further durability, as well as sonic damping. The cone itself is resistant to both water and humidity. Thanks to a FEA-optimized motor construction, the Control 16C/T achieves a smooth frequency response.
Installation is made possible via the removable locking connector, within which you’ll find screw terminals for wire termination, as well as loop-thru points for furthering signal to more speakers. Dual conduit clamps employed to provide strain relief to both the input and loop-output cables. You can use the speaker to handle 8-Ohm loads, or as part of a 70V / 100V distributed loudspeaker system with a 30W multi-tap transformer.
These speakers ship with two tile rail supports, as well as a C-ring support backing plate, cutout template, paint shield, and grille. On the top of the speaker you’ll find a safety seismic attachment ring.

JBL Control 16C/T Specs
Frequency Range 62 Hz to 20 kHz at -10 dB
Frequency Response 96 Hz to 15 kHz at ±3 dB
Power Capacity At Lo-Z:
100 W continuous program power
50 W continuous pink noise
Note: Continuous Pink Noise Rating is IEC-shaped pink noise with a 6 dB crest factor for 100 hours continuously. Continuous Program Power is a conservative expression of the system’s ability to handle normal speech and music program material, and is defined as 3 dB above the Continuous Pink Noise Rating.
