High-Output Drivers for Rich, Full-Range Sound
At the heart of these JBL ceiling speakers lies a 6.5" high-output driver designed with a polypropylene cone and butyl rubber surround. This combination produces a robust low-frequency response while maintaining clarity and precision in the mids. Paired with a 3/4" liquid-cooled soft-dome tweeter, the speakers deliver crisp, smooth highs that enhance vocal and instrumental detail.

Wide Dispersion Pattern for Consistent Coverage
The JBL Control 16C/T features a wide 110° coverage pattern, ensuring even sound distribution across the listening area. This design minimizes audio dropouts and creates consistent sound quality for both on-axis and off-axis listeners. The coaxial alignment of the woofer and tweeter enhances phase coherence, delivering a seamless blend of frequencies. This makes the speakers particularly effective in larger spaces, where uniform audio coverage is critical for maintaining an immersive listening experience.
