The white JBL Control 12C/T is a pair of Professional Series 3" 40W passive ceiling loudspeakers designed to deliver generous coverage and pleasing sound for low- to medium-volume applications such as offices, retail stores, hotels, and educational institutions.

Featuring a 3" full-range driver that handles up to 40W of continuous program power, the Control 12C/T is capable of producing a peak maximum SPL of 103 dB and a frequency range of 68 Hz to 17 kHz (-10 dB) while its 130° conical dispersion pattern ensures more coverage with fewer speakers.

The integrated 15W multi-tap transformer offers taps at 70V and 100V, plus a transformer bypass setting for low-impedance operation at 8 ohms. The UV-resistant, paintable ABS baffle comes with a pre-attached back can that enables fast and simple installation.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Recomended 8Ω JBL or CROWN amplifier for 2 per channel 18C/T?

A: The JBL CSA 2120Z Audio Amplifier - 2 x 120W (B&H # JBCSA2120Z) that James recommended is a good option since it can be used as a 70V or standard amp and its power rating makes it a good match for use with two of the JBL 18C/T speakers on each channel. Crown's XTi 1002 (B&H # CRXTI1002) is a standard stereo amp rated at 275W per channel at 8 Ohms which could also work for you. As another option, the QSC ISA300Ti Commercial Power Amplifier (B&H # QSISA300TI) is a standard amp rated at 180W per channel at 8 Ohms and also operates at 70V for a constant voltage setup.

Q: 2. Can you use them outdoor ?

A: These speakers are not outdoor rated.

Q: 3. I'm looking at using these for a church system. what do you recommend the placement to be between each speaker on a 9'-12' cathedral ceiling? Do you connect to both 2,3 and 1,4 to daisy chain the speakers or just 1,4 for the loop thru to the next speaker? And finally, can you use a standard 1/4 mono plug to speaker wire to connect the speakers?

A: not really, unless you have weather proof casing for them

Q: 6. Can you use these speakers on a regular home amplifier?

A: The JBL Control 45C/T is sold individually. This item includes a single speaker with mounting hardware.

Q: 9. Do these have anyway to be mounted on a stand? Such as a microphone stand that some of the other compact loudspeakers do? I won't be able to wall-mount these, need them portable.

A: They shop with the available wall mount hardware. They can also sit on a desk/tabletop. They don't have holes on the bottom to be mounted on a mic stand. Behringer makes a similar item that has stand mount holes in the bottom, but are self powered.

Q: 10. Does this product come with a pendant mount kit?

A: The Bose Professional FreeSpace FS4CE In-Ceiling 4.5" 200W Passive Loudspeaker (Pair, White) comes with mounting hardware for in-ceiling installation, as this is an in-ceiling speaker, not a pendant speaker.
