The Control 19CS uses advanced
proprietary technologies to produce powerful
bass from a low profile in-ceiling design. The
Control 19CS is perfectly suited to augment
the low frequency output of any of the
Control Contractor loudspeakers. High power
handling and low distortion make the Control
19CS an ideal addition for sound systems
requiring a higher fidelity sound from ceiling
loudspeakers.
The unique Nested Chamber design
delivers high output from a compact
enclosure, while the acoustic lowpass
character of this design means it is easy to
augment a full-range sound system without
an external crossover or separate amp
channel. The Linear DynamicsTMport design
originally developed for JBL’s concert speaker
systems, produces extended deep bass
output.
The Control 19CS is protected from
overload damage by JBL’s exclusive
SonicGuardTMcircuitry, a protection system
that is inaudible to the listener, ensuring
reliability while providing full-fidelity sound.
The premium performance capability ensures
excellent sound character, providing pleasant,
enveloping sound throughout the listening
area.
The 200 mm (8 in) transducer features a
pure butyl rubber surround for extended life
and long excursion capability. The pole piece
is vented for low distortion.
The Control 19CS can be connected into a
system in a number of configurations: In
parallel with full-range speakers resulting in a
bass-overlap configuration (which is often
acceptable); with an electronic crossover and
separate amplifier channel, or; In conjunction
with an active or passive high-pass filter on
the full-range speakers, thus taking advantage
of the Control 19CS’s natural acoustic lowpass character.

Continuous Pink Noise rating is shaped pink noise, 40 Hz to 400 Hz, with a 6 dB crest factor for 100 hours continuously.
Continuous Program power is a conservative expression of the system’s ability to handle normal speech and music
program material and is defined as 3 dB above the Continuous Pink Noise Rating.

Average 60 Hz to 100 Hz.
JBL continually engages in research related to product improvement. Changes introduced into existing products

Control®19CS/CST In-Ceiling Subwoofer
Input connection is conveniently provided on a removable
locking connector (included), providing secure connection via
screwdown terminals and allowing a system to be prewired before
installing the speaker for fast snap-on convenience. Separate
connector terminals are available for the input and for the loopthrough wires, making it easy to jumper the speaker signal to
additional speakers. The input terminal plate provides strain relief
for either bare wire, plenum cable or ½ inch conduit (12 mm I.D.).
The terminal box is securely enclosed to meet safety codes.
The speaker trim and grille are paintable to match any decor. A
paint shield is provided for covering the drivers while painting the
rim.
Installation of the Control 19CS is quick and easy. The
loudspeaker is packaged complete with the backcan, grille, support
backing bracket and tile rails.
The entire installation can be accomplished without requiring
access above the ceiling. A template is provided for marking the
cutout. An innovative C-shaped support backing plate can be
installed from below through the cutout to reinforce the top of the
ceiling material. Tile bridge rails are included which can be
screwed onto the C-plate to extend support to the T-channel grid
in suspended ceiling installations. After the speaker is fitted through
the cutout, it is held securely in place via three mounting tabs
which tighten onto the C-plate, if used, or directly onto the ceiling
material.
The Control 19CS backcan is made of formed steel and the
speaker is suitable for use in air handling spaces, per U.L.-2043. An
attachment loop is provided on the backcan for cabling to the
building structure as a secondary support in seismic areas or where
required by code.
The optional Control 19CST version includes a high quality
multitap transformer designed specifically for subwoofer use in
either 70.7V or 100V distributed-line systems. Multiple transformer
taps at 60W, 30W and 15W (plus 7.5W at 70.7V) allow the Control
19CST to fit a wide variety of listening situations. Taps are selected
with a rotary switch conveniently located on the front panel,
protected under the grille, so that the speaker does not have to be
removed to adjust tap settings. The transformer effectively limits the
power to the speaker, so SonicGuard is not included in the Control
19CST.
Frequency response (1W, 1 m) is measured on-axis with two
boundary junction ( loading, gray line) and with three-boundary
junction (/2 loading, black line)
