JBL Professional JBL Control 47C/T Coaxial in-ceiling loudspeaker with conical RBI waveguide
The Control 47C/T uses JBL's conical RBI waveguide to hold a 120-degree pattern across the band, which means fewer speakers to cover a given floor area - the reason it shows up in casinos and large retail floors rather than a plain cone-and-dome ceiling can.
A 165 mm woofer and a 25 mm compression driver give 91 dB sensitivity and 110 dB maximum in low impedance, reaching 55 Hz. It runs at 8 ohms in bypass or off a 70/100 V line with 60, 30 and 15 W taps. A formed steel blind-mount backcan is included for plenum use. Ceiling cutout is 282 mm; C-rings, tile rails, a paint shield, a cutout template and the grille are in the box.
