- 25 mm (1 in) pure-titanium dome low diffraction swivel aimable titanium tweeter.
- High-slope crossover for natural midrange sound.

- 50 W continuous (100 W program, 200 W peak) power handling (126 W).
The CONTROL 126WT is a premium in-wall speaker within the JBL Professional Control Contractor line designed for applications such as foreground music, boardrooms, reception areas, airports, convention centers, cruise ships, retail outlets, restaurants, museums, surround locations, or any critical listening application where top performance from a loudspeaker with minimal visual impact is required.
The high-performance woofer features a polymer-coated aluminum cone for high performance down to 38 Hz and pure butyl rubber surround for long life and high reliability along with extended-polepiece magnet design for long excursion and tight, low bass. The pure titanium dome high frequency driver is loaded with a built-in EOS™ (Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal) waveguide for low distortion and a smooth frequency response. A low-diffraction swivelmounting system enables the user to direct high frequencies where required without the diffraction distortion inherent in other aimable tweeter designs. A high-slope crossover network maintains natural midrange sound and produces more even coverage throughout the listening area.
The Control 100 Series speakers are voiced similarly to other JBL Control Contractor models, allowing mixing with surface-mount and in-ceiling speakers within a single listening space. The premium sound quality makes these loudspeakers ideal for critical listening environments, yet they are high power and rugged enough to handle venues requiring high SPL, heavy dutycycle music.
The speaker fits into the wall space of ordinary stud-wall construction. As is the case with all Control Contractor speakers, the baffles and grilles are paintable to match any decor.
Rear Air Cavity Considerations:
The CONTROL 126WT is designed to function over a wide span of rear air cavity sizes within the wall. The optimum air cavity (sometimes called "loading volume") for fullest low-frequency performance is between 20 to 40 liters (0.7 to 1.4 cu ft). In a wall with studs located 16-inches on-center, this approximately equals a 23-inch to 46-inch high space. It is recommended that the air cavity behind the speaker be sealed by the use of silicone sealant or similar material to help create an air-tight seal and minimize wall noise.
