JBL Control 424LP 4 IN Enhanced Low-Profile Ceiling Speaker
The Control 424LP is a compact ceiling speaker built for installations where depth is a critical constraint. Its ultra-low profile backcan (under 100 mm deep) mounts flush into tight ceiling cavities without sacrificing acoustic performance or power handling. This is a reliable choice for venues, education facilities, and professional installations requiring dependable, consistent coverage in a discreet form factor.
Design & Installation
The low-profile construction paired with the full-face magnetic grille and optional black and square grille covers allows flexible aesthetic integration into any environment. The 16-ohm impedance design includes a transformer supporting both 70V/100V and low impedance applications, making it adaptable to diverse system configurations without additional hardware.
Audio Performance
A 4" (100 mm) coaxially mounted woofer and 19 mm soft-dome tweeter in a ported enclosure deliver balanced vocal and background music reproduction. CRBI™ technology ensures 130° consistent coverage, so sound remains even across the listening area. The speaker handles 60 W continuous pink noise power and 240 W peak power, meeting the demands of moderate-to-large venues and installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this speaker in both 70V and low-impedance systems?
Yes. The 16-ohm impedance design includes an integrated transformer that supports 70V/100V line-level operation as well as direct low-impedance connection, eliminating the need for external hardware.

The speaker handles 60 W continuous pink noise power and 240 W peak power. CRBI™ technology delivers consistent 130° coverage, ensuring even sound distribution across the listening area without acoustic dead zones.
