Styled in white, this pair of JBL Control 16C/T 6.5" Ceiling Speakers - White Pairare 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What amp would you recommend for 4 of these speakers in a classroom?

Q: 2. What color is the grille?

Q: 3. What is a good head unit to pair with a group of 6 speakers?

A: The Control 26CT has a built in transformer allowing in it to be used in a distributed audio system. These speakers are able to be tapped at multiple wattages. When connected to a 70v audio system, the amplifier must be rated to handle the sum of all speakers connected with an additional 20% for headroom.

Q: 4. I'm impressed with JBL Control Contractor Series. I'm planning to have a set of speakers to build up a home theater from this series. However, I'm missing the center channel which I don't have any clue how to replace this position from control contractor series. Then, I'm going to the 2nd issue which is the subwoofer it's PASSIVE & it won't work with AV receiver. Control 19CS come in pair subwoofer, I thought may be subwoofer plate amplifier going to solve this issue but I'm sure. It seems that it won't going to work. Does any body have a suitable solution to my concern?

A: For the Center channel I would suggest to use the JBL Arena 55IW In-Wall Speaker. I have implemented a similar approach with my system and it works great. Regarding a subwoofer - I would suggest the JBL Arena Sub 100P 10 Powered Subwoofer also.

Q: 5. Are these speakers suitable for outdoor use in a covered patio?

A: I have them indoors they work fineI have seen them at hair salons tooI'm sure it will be fine as long as water doesn't hit it.

[91 dB] Great small format in-ceiling speakers. The sealed and ported enclosure protects them and provides a consistent bass response, unlike open back speakers. 70volt or 8ohm operation for a wide variety of commercial and residential applications. and... they sound good! 5

Willeducate	29/08/2024
[27 x 14 x 12"] The five star reviews perfectly indicate the level of speaker I just purchased. I'll probably be purchasing more of these very soon. 5

Just us	21/08/2024
[27 x 14 x 12"] We recently remodeled our house and added 4 if these to our living room area. We love how they sound and watching movies with them makes you feel as if we are at the theater up the street. Listening to sports on them makes you feel as if you are in the arena watching the game. I'm am now getting on the site to order some outdoor speakers because I feel I cant go wrong with Polk by the pool as well. 5

MikeLBC	19/08/2024
[91 dB] I have a small 10'x5' bathroom but also have a small flat panel tv that is about 7' from the shower so I can't hear it. I bought a single RC6s, installed it about 1' away from the shower (these are supposed to tolerate high humidity) and connected it to an audio engine N22 amp. I hooked up the tv and also an old smartphone with Pandora and I now have an awesome bathroom setup. Great sound for a single in-ceiling speaker. Some songs come across "boomy" that have a lot of bass but that is nit-picking. Does anyone else even offer a 2 channel ceiling speaker? 5

Lively Home Theater	07/08/2024
[91 dB] I use these on new homes and the Builders love them. Ladies love the sound over a garden tub with relaxation music. They are very practical anywhere in a home. The stereo imaging is accurate and stimulates conversation as everyone wonders where the other speakers are. I will use these on every new constrution job. They are outstanding 5

Alok	24/06/2024
[24 lb] I purchased these in ceiling speakers for my covered patio area. Very clear sound and good bass response. The only thing I’m not a fan of is that the grill is not magnetic but has still not fallen out so overall I’m very happy with my purchase. 5

User	11/06/2024
[24 lb] Awesome just 1 speaker tweeter is loose and has a little muffled sound 5

AV Billy	07/06/2024
[24 lb] I use these speakers in meeting rooms of various sizes and for several purposes such as lectures, symposia, music playback, and movies. They are installed in drop ceilings, which, of course, has its drawbacks, but the response and delivery of these speakers is outstanding. I wouldn't think of going with another choice except to upgrade to the 47c/t in rooms that can handle more bass. response. 5

[27 x 14 x 12"] Love the install and sound. Hope I win $1000... 5

Mountain Satellite and Audio	03/05/2024
[27 x 14 x 12"] We used the RC6S Polk speakers in a Dental office to direct sound above patients during exams and in small waiting rooms plus reception and office spaces with individual keypads for every speaker. Great sound in every location. Thank You for your dual imput speaker 5
