JBL CONTROL 47LP

Overview

The JBL CONTROL 47LP is a pair of low-profile ceiling loudspeakers designed to deliver high-quality audio in spaces with shallow plenum areas. Each speaker features a 6.5 inch woofer and a 1 inch soft dome tweeter arranged coaxially, providing a wide 120 degree coverage pattern that ensures consistent sound distribution throughout the room. With a power handling capacity of up to 150 watts and a frequency response ranging from 100 Hz to 17 kHz, these speakers reproduce both warm low frequencies and clear high-frequency details, making them suitable for environments where clear music and speech are essential.

Connectivity and compatibility

The speakers are designed to integrate easily with various audio systems. The built-in transformer supports multiple voltage taps for 70 V and 100 V distributed audio lines, which are common in commercial sound installations. For setups using conventional amplifiers, the 8 ohm bypass provides a straightforward direct connection. The removable locking input connectors make wiring quick and secure, reducing installation time and ensuring stable connections.

Installation and setup

Installation is made efficient with the included accessories. The cutout template helps achieve precise ceiling openings, while the tile rails and C-bracket provide secure mounting options compatible with standard ceiling tile grids. The low-profile design allows the speakers to sit flush with the ceiling surface, preserving ceiling aesthetics and minimizing visual impact. These features make the CONTROL 47LP a practical choice for professional installers and facility managers.

Ideal uses and environments

The CONTROL 47LP speakers are well suited to commercial and institutional spaces such as retail stores, restaurants, hotel lobbies, and classrooms. They provide clear background music and intelligible speech without occupying valuable ceiling space, which is often limited in plenum height. Their balanced sound coverage and flexible wiring options make them a strong choice for venues that require reliable, high-quality audio that blends seamlessly into the environment.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
