JBL Professional Control Contractor 40 Series

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Control® Contractor 40 Series is a line of premium, in-ceiling, specialty loudspeakers that combine
outstanding pattern control and consistent coverage with superior sonic performance. Featuring JBL’s
proprietary conical Radiation Boundary Integrator® (RBI™) technology, adapted from the groundbreaking
VerTec® Series of line array loudspeakers, the Control 40 series includes five models. Built on over 60
years of JBL loudspeaker design experience, the Control Contractor 40 Series delivers outstanding
performance and reliability housed in an elegant industrial design.

Control 47C/T features extended bass performance with a wide
120° of coverage that allows fewer speakers to cover a large space.
Ideal for a wide variety of applications, the Control 47C/T is perfect
for settings ranging from restaurant and retail to large casinos and
beyond.

Control 47LP is a low-profile model intended for locations with
limited above-ceiling clearance (only 5.6 inches deep) and is built
on the same platform as the Control 47C/T. The system features
the same great sonic character and wide 120° of coverage.

Control 47HC features a narrow 75° coverage pattern, ideal for
use in highly reverberant spaces and high ceiling applications.
This focused pattern helps minimize sound reflecting off of
room surfaces as well as time arrival anomalies from adjacent
loudspeakers, resulting in improved speech intelligibility. The
Control 47HC features the same sonic character the Control 47C/T
and is ideal for busy transit centers, large convention center spaces
or anywhere requiring a narrow coverage ceiling loudspeaker.

Control 42C is an ultra-compact, in-ceiling satellite loudspeaker
designed for use with the Control 40CS/T in-ceiling subwoofer.
When combined with the Control 40CS/T, the Control 42C offers
an extremely natural sounding and powerful subwoofer-satellite
system that is perfect for applications requiring wide bandwidth
and superior sonic performance with minimal visual impact.

Control 40CS/T is a direct radiating, high impact, 8” subwoofer
with a built-in passive crossover network enabling the Control
40CS/T to be used as part of a subwoofer-satellite system. When
combined with the Control 42C, the Control 40CS/T offers an
extremely natural sounding and powerful subwoofer-satellite
system that is perfect for applications requiring wide bandwidth
and superior sonic performance with minimal visual impact. The
Control 40CS/T can also be used via an active crossover design
with the rest of the Control Contractor in-ceiling line for superior
bass response and can be operated from a 70V / 100V distributed
line or in direct 8Ω mode.
