Lewis CaliburnHARMAN Professional Solutions has launched the JBL Professional Control 400 Standard Coverage Series and Control 400 Premium Coverage Series Ceiling Speakers. Comprising 15 new models, these series join the Control 400 Enhanced Coverage Series, introduced earlier this year, completing the Control 400 Ceiling Speaker Family’s 21-model lineup.
Together, these variants provide options at three distinct tiers of coverage consistency and price, enabling integrators to curate the optimal solution to support any commercial application.
Building on the legacy of the JBL Control 10, Control 20 and Control 40 ceiling speaker families, the Control 400 Standard Coverage Series, Enhanced Coverage Series and Premium Coverage Series share many core features, including sonic performance, reliability, helpful installation features and a contemporary design aesthetic.
Additionally the Standard Coverage Series is designed to provide high-performance audio at affordable price points. The Enhanced Coverage Series includes JBL’s Coplanar Radiation Boundary Integrator (CRBI) to provide a more even frequency response throughout the coverage area, while the flagship Premium Coverage Series leverages JBL’s proprietary conical Radiation Boundary Integrator (RBI) technology to achieve coverage consistency.
All Control 400 Series models boast installation features designed to enhance safety, efficiency and repeatability. Terminal covers allow for convenient top or side cable entry and the reliable captive dogear design accommodates a variety of ceiling thicknesses. Most options include transformers to support both 70V/100V and low impedance applications.
All models embrace design elements tailored for modern interiors. The included full-face magnetic grille is paintable for seamless integration into any decor, while available black and square grilles provide added customisation.
“Expanding the Control 400 Family with two new series and 15 additional models brings our total to 21 options,” says Steve Mathis, Senior Product Manager, Installed Audio, HARMAN Professional Solutions. “Our goal is to provide incredible sound quality in products that are reliable, easy to install and adaptable to any design vision. These additions not only broaden our offering but also simplify setup and elevate aesthetics, giving integrators the tools they need for outstanding audio installations.”
