The Control 24C Micro and Control 24CT Micro are compact in-ceiling speakers designed to deliver high-quality sound in a variety of settings. Ideal for applications such as restaurants, specialty retail stores, professional offices, and airports, these speakers are engineered to provide full, clear audio for background music and music-plus-paging systems.

Both models are characterized by their low distortion and smooth, natural frequency response. This makes them particularly suitable for medium volume business music systems and for filling medium to low SPL segments in larger or louder setups. Their performance can be further enhanced by integrating them with one of the Control Contractor subwoofer models, which augment the low-frequency output for a richer sound experience.

The Control 24C Micro and Control 24CT Micro feature similar mid and high frequency voicing as other JBL Control Contractor loudspeakers. This compatibility allows for flexible system design where different models can be mixed and matched within the same audio zones without requiring separate equalization. This feature simplifies system design and reduces the need for complex tuning, making installation more straightforward and cost-effective.

Installation of these speakers is designed to be quick and user-friendly. Each speaker comes with a comprehensive installation package that includes the backcan, grille, support backing bracket, and tile rails. Optional new construction brackets are also available to further streamline the installation process. The design allows for installation without needing access above the ceiling, which simplifies the setup in spaces where ceiling access is limited.

A cutout template is included with each speaker to aid in precise marking and installation. The innovative C-shaped support backing plate can be installed from below through the cutout to reinforce the ceiling material and provide additional stability. For suspended ceiling installations, tile bridge rails are provided, which can be attached to the C-plate to extend support to the T-channel grid. This ensures that the speaker is securely held in place.

Once the speaker is positioned through the cutout, it is firmly secured using mounting tabs that tighten onto the C-plate (if used) or directly onto the ceiling material. This robust mounting mechanism ensures that the speaker remains stable and properly aligned, delivering consistent audio performance.

The backcan of the Control 24C/CT Micro is constructed from formed steel, providing durability and reliability. The speakers are suitable for use in air handling spaces as per UL2043 standards, ensuring they meet necessary safety and performance criteria.

Overall, the Control 24C Micro and Control 24CT Micro offer high-performance audio in a compact and easy-to-install package, making them an excellent choice for various commercial and professional environments where quality sound and straightforward installation are priorities.
