HARMAN Professional Solutions, distributed by MadisonAV in Australia, will launch the JBL Professional Control 400 Enhanced Coverage Series.

JBL Professional has introduced the latest edition of Radiation Boundary Integrator (RBI) technology through the Coplanar RBI, or CRI. This is to provide a smooth sound character to keep consistent, clean and pleasant sound across a wide area.

All models include a full-face magnetic grille to blend with modern décor. White grille can be painted to match the décor, but black and square grilles are also available.

The series has a variety of mounting enhancements to improve installation repeatability and safety while reducing installation time. The terminal covers give top and side cable entre ports which can be secured without tools. All models include transformers to support the 7V/100V and low impedance applications.

There are six models in total that JBL will be releasing. The core models are the Control 426C/T and the Control 424C/T that have two-way coaxial ceiling loudspeakers with 6.5” and 4” woofers.

The Control 426LP and Control 424LP is best suited for applications where ceiling plenum space is limited. The Control 425/T-LS is certified to the UL1480 standard and the Control 419CS/T is a high power, low distortion 8” in-ceiling subwoofer.

“When designing the new Control 400 Series, we really looked at what’s worked well with our Control 20 Series over its many years of dedicated service to our users,” HARMAN Professional Solutions director of installed audio Phil Scobee says.

“We talked to our consultant, designer, and integrator community to gain their valued feedback. Then we asked our engineering team to translate that feedback to as many enhancements as possible to improve both the listening experience but also improve the installation process wherever possible. The result is a new series of ceiling speakers that we couldn’t be prouder to introduce and get out into the market.”
