Control 42 C

19,399.00

The Control 42C is an ultra-compact in-ceiling professional satellite loudspeaker designed to pair with the Control 40CS/T subwoofer, creating a natural-sounding and powerful subwoofer-satellite system. This combination delivers wide bandwidth and superior sonic performance with minimal visual impact, making it perfect for various applications. The Control 42C features a 60 mm (2.5 in) mid/high driver with a polypropylene cone and pure butyl rubber surround, ensuring long-lasting durability. Its copper-clad aluminum voice coil wound on a vented aluminum former minimizes distortion. With a 16-ohm impedance, up to four speakers can be connected to a 4-ohm capable amplifier. The Control 42C requires an active high-pass filter or a passive crossover, like the one in the Control 40CS/T, to prevent damage from low frequencies. Its lightweight design eliminates the need for tile rails in many installations, though MTC-RAIL tile rail sets are available separately.

The JBL Control 42C is an ultra-compact, high-performance in-ceiling satellite loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional audio quality when paired with the Control 40CS/T subwoofer. This combination forms a subwoofer-satellite system that provides wide bandwidth and superior sonic performance, making it ideal for applications where high sound quality is required with minimal visual impact.

The Control 42C excels in delivering a natural and powerful sound due to its advanced design and construction. It features a 60 mm (2.5 in) mid/high driver with a polypropylene cone and a pure butyl rubber surround. This combination ensures long-lasting durability and maintains sound integrity over time. The driver is equipped with a copper-clad aluminum voice coil wound on a vented aluminum former, which helps to minimize distortion and enhance overall sound clarity. The 16-ohm impedance of the Control 42C allows for flexible system configuration, as multiple speakers can be paralleled on a 4-ohm capable amplifier, enabling scalable audio solutions for various installation sizes.

A key feature of the Control 42C is its integrated backcan, which, along with the included C-ring support backing plate, simplifies the installation process. This design element ensures that the loudspeaker can be securely and easily installed in various ceiling types, streamlining setup and reducing installation time. The lightweight nature of the Control 42C means that in many cases, tile rails may not be necessary for installation, though they can be purchased separately as MTC-RAIL tile rail sets if needed.

To protect the Control 42C from potential damage caused by low frequencies, it must be used with an active high-pass filter or a passive crossover. The Control 40CS/T subwoofer, with its built-in crossover, is an ideal match for this purpose, ensuring that the Control 42C operates within its optimal frequency range.

The Control 42C’s compact design and elegant, unobtrusive appearance make it suitable for both small and large projects. Its minimal visual footprint allows it to blend seamlessly into a variety of settings, making it an excellent choice for installations where aesthetics are as important as audio performance. Whether used in commercial spaces, residential areas, or other environments, the Control 42C offers a high-quality audio solution that meets the needs of demanding applications while maintaining a discreet profile.
