JBL Control 322C 12" Hi-output Coaxial 2-WAY Ceiling Loudspeaker

JBL Control 322C 12" Hi-output Coaxial 2-Way Ceiling Loudspeaker

The Control 322C is a professional-grade ceiling speaker built for venues, installed systems, and live sound applications where high output and consistent coverage matter. Its coaxial design delivers integrated midrange and treble response from a single acoustic center, eliminating phase complications and making system tuning straightforward. This is a reliable workhorse for distributed audio systems covering larger spaces.

Audio Performance & Coverage

The Kevlar-reinforced 300 mm woofer paired with a medium-format compression driver produces extended frequency response spanning 48 Hz to 19 kHz, ensuring full-spectrum reproduction across speech and music. The 90° broadband pattern control maintains consistent sound pressure and tonal balance throughout the coverage area, essential for even performance in ceiling-mounted arrays at venues and installations.

Power Handling & Road-Ready Integration

Rated for 400W long-term power capacity (1600W peak) with 8-ohm impedance, this speaker integrates smoothly into professional amplifier chains and supports both standalone and daisy-chained configurations via its removable locking connector with screw-down terminals. The compact 366 × 366 × 223 mm baffle fits standard ceiling cavities with a 378 × 378 mm cutout for the MTC-300BB12 backcan, keeping installation fast and dependable.
