JBL Professional: Sound Built for Every Sanctuary

Every church has a different room, a different congregation size, and a different sound challenge to solve. JBL Control Series speakers give worship leaders a way to fix all three, with ceiling mounted and surface mount options built for background music, spoken word clarity, and everything in between. Whether you're covering a main sanctuary, a fellowship hall, a lobby, or a cry room, Control Series speakers deliver clean, even coverage without drawing attention away from your space. This September, we're designing the perfect church sound system with you, one room at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between JBL Control Series ceiling speakers and surface mount speakers?

    Ceiling speakers, like the Control 24C and 26C, are built to disappear into the room while delivering wide, even coverage overhead, which makes them a strong fit for sanctuaries, lobbies, and hallways. Surface mount models, like the Control 28, sit on a wall or shelf and are a better choice for smaller rooms or spaces where ceiling access is limited. Both share the same JBL voicing, so you can mix them across a building without the sound feeling inconsistent from room to room.

  • Are JBL Control Series speakers rated for outdoor or life safety installations?

    Select Control Series models are built for outdoor use with weather resistant housings, and there are dedicated life safety versions, such as the Control 26CT-LS, that are UL listed for those requirements. That range gives integrators one product family to spec across indoor, outdoor, and life safety zones on the same job.

  • Can JBL Control Series speakers run on a 70V or 100V distributed audio system?

    Yes. Most Control Series models include built in multitap transformers, so they're switchable between 70V/100V distributed lines and standard 8 ohm direct operation. That flexibility means the same speaker line can cover a large facility efficiently without needing a dedicated amplifier channel for every zone.

  • What makes Control Series speakers a good fit for classrooms and school facilities?

    Schools need consistent, intelligible sound for announcements, lectures, and background audio across many rooms at once, and Control Series ceiling and surface mount speakers are built exactly for that kind of distributed coverage. Their low profile design keeps classrooms and hallways looking clean, and the 70V/100V compatibility makes it straightforward to wire an entire building on one system.

  • What Control Series speakers work best for covering a large sanctuary without looking obtrusive?

    For sanctuaries where the sound needs to be excellent but the speakers shouldn't compete with the architecture, ceiling models with wide conical coverage, like the Control 24C and 26C, are a natural fit. They blend into the ceiling line, cover a broad listening area, and keep the focus on the message and the music rather than on visible gear.

  • How does JBL's Radiation Boundary Integrator technology improve coverage consistency?

    JBL's RBI and CRBI technology shapes how sound radiates off the speaker baffle, which keeps the frequency response and coverage pattern consistent across the entire listening area rather than favoring listeners directly in front of the speaker. In practical terms, that means fewer dead spots and a more even, natural sound whether someone is sitting front row center or off to the side near the back.
