Micro Ceiling Speaker
JBL Professional

JBL’s new Control 24C/CT Micro speakers are a cost-effective solution for in-ceiling installations. Able to fit in areas with shallow clearance, the speakers cover an angle area up to 150°. The wide angle allows installers to maximize coverage and minimize the number of speakers in a room. The Control 24C/CT Micros can easily be installed and used in challenging architectural environments; for filling in shadow areas, odd corners or sections of a room in a high-level, wide-bandwidth system; and as satellite speakers with the SMS1-SUB on-wall powered subwoofer.

Ceiling Enclosures
Tannoy
www.tannoy.com
Suited for high-level music and speech reinforcement applications, the Tannoy in-ceiling monitors — CMS50 ICT and CMS50T ICT — are designed for easy installation and cost effectiveness. Both include line-voltage switching from the front baffle. To ensure tweeter reliability, the ICT™, or inductive coupling technology, uses a wireless electromagnetic tweeter that does not require a crossover and cannot be burned out by heavy operation. The ICT dome is at the heart of this 5-inch ceiling transducer while a molded plastic low-frequency cone and nitryl rubber surround add further durability. The ICT driver is housed in a steel enclosure tuned for maximum bass response and tonal balance.
