products, sound, MAY 2007, COMMENTS

Bringing flexibility, quality and ease of installation to systems integrators, JBL Professional is introducing the Control 200 Series medium-format in-ceiling loudspeakers, featuring very advanced 6.5-inch coaxial drivers. Designed for applications where superior musical impact, voice clarity and high sound levels are required, the Control 200 Series’ wide coverage reduces overall system cost without sacrificing sound quality by enabling fewer speakers to cover a large area while its best-in-class pattern control ensures that everyone within the listening area hears the same high-quality mix of sound.

Superior sound is enhanced by KevlarTM reinforced woofer cones for extended low-end response, while JBL’s titanium-diaphragm compression drivers reproduce high frequencies with clarity and impact. High-slope asymmetrical crossovers provide an extremely smooth, natural sound character for music along with exceptional clarity for voice. For 70V/100V applications, low-saturation transformers provide the sound quality of a low-impedance system in distributed applications.

“Building on the overwhelming success of the JBL Control 300 Series, the new Control 200 Series brings the same broadband pattern control and ease of installation in a more compact, medium-format package,” said Rick Kamlet, Director of Marketing, Commercial Sound, JBL Professional. “With the introduction of the Control 200 Series, systems integrators are now afforded more flexibility and power for an unlimited variety of installations.”

All three models feature an extremely wide – and well controlled – coverage of 120 degrees conical.
For easy installation, the Control 200 Series loudspeakers wire easily and quickly with clip-in connections that can be pre-wired. Premium accessories for the 227C & 227CT include a thick-metal backcan with internal MDF reinforcement for better bass response and contemporary grilles that fit into any décor. A strong tile bridge for installing into suspended ceilings reduces rattling artifacts.
