The Control 26-DT - JBL's latest ceiling speaker.
JBL’s recently introduced Control 26-DT ceiling speaker is now shipping, JBL tell us. JBL Professional introduced this new ceiling speaker at this year's NSCA trade show in Denver, Colorado, in response to specific requests from consultants and contractors.

Designed to be used with standard backcans, the Control 26-DT is a coaxial low/high frequency driver assembly, with a network and transformer. Without a dedicated backcan assembly, the Control 26-DT is applicable for new construction in which installation of the backcan and wiring must be inspected prior to the final completion of the finished ceiling. The Control 26-DT can also easily be used as a retrofit loudspeaker in cases where standard backcans and 8" ceiling speakers were previously used.

The low frequency driver has a 6.5" polypropylene-coated cone for reliability and long life. The high frequency tweeter diaphragm is coated in titanium and the tweeter is diffraction-loaded for optimum pattern control. In a can with a volume of 0.25 ft3, the Control 26-DT has a sensitivity of 89dB (1W @ 1M) and low frequency extension down to 70Hz. The line distribution transformer has 70.7V taps at 60W, 30W, 15W and 7.5W, and 100V taps at 60W, 30W, and 15W.
