Control 328C has been engineered from the ground up to deliver exceptional next-generation performance in a coaxial point source design ceiling loudspeaker. The combination of the low frequency cone and the shaped mounting baffle performs as a true 12 inch (300 mm) diameter waveguide for the high frequencies. A unique metal throat transitions seamlessly to the horn to eliminate high frequency beaming which is common among this category of speaker. The result is a coaxial speaker with wide, extremely consistent 120° coverage on a broadband basis.
JBL Control 328C 8" Ceiling Speaker Features:
- Consistent 120° broadband pattern control covers an extremely large area.
- Shaped mounting baffle provides the pattern control of a 300 mm (12 in) horn from a 200 mm (8 in) driver.
- 200 mm (8 in) woofer with Kevlar enforced cone and 50 mm (2 in) voice-coil.
- 25 mm (1" exit) compression driver.
- Extraordinary clarity for speech and vocals with extended frequency response for music.
- 250 Watt power handling with very high sensitivity provides high SPL capability.
- Advanced high-slope crossover network for constant coverage and smooth, natural midrange.
- Clean, contemporary grille and optional backbox available.
Component features include a Kevlar-reinforced low frequency cone for reliability, well-damped surround for smooth frequency response, high temperature voicecoil and a reduced distortion design through saturated-gap magnet geometry. The high frequency driver features a pure titanium diaphragm for high sensitivity and long life, with diamond surround for resonance control and FerroFluid for increased power handling.
The Control 328C is easy to install. The removable multi-pin locking connector, with secure screw-down terminals, allows for pre-wiring the input wires for easy clip-on convenience during installation.
The clean, contemporary look of the optional MTC-RG6/8 round grille is designed to suit high-end venues, offering a simple, elegant appearance that fits into a wide variety of decors.
The optional MTC-300BB8 one cubic foot backcan is made of extra-thick 16 gauge steel and the top is lined with ½" medium density fiberboard.
To ensure long life and reliability, Control 328C passes JBL's 100-hour torture power test, the toughest standard in the industry.
