Product Overview

The JBL Control 19CS is a passive 8-inch in-ceiling installation subwoofer, supplied as a set of two, that adds low-frequency reinforcement to foreground music systems. Driven by 8-ohm power amplifiers, this in-ceiling subwoofer provides 200 W of program power and covers 42 to 200 Hz with minimal visual impact. Its Nested Chamber design and Linear Dynamics port deliver extended bass from a compact enclosure, making it well suited to boardrooms, restaurants, retail spaces, and commercial meeting areas.

Product Description

The Control 19CS uses a durable 200 mm (8 in) polypropylene woofer with a vented pole piece for low distortion. Its Nested Chamber design provides an acoustic low-pass character, allowing it to augment full-range ceiling speakers without an external crossover or a separate amplifier channel. SonicGuard overload protection guards the subwoofer against damage while remaining transparent to the listener. A removable locking connector with screw-down terminals supports input and loop-through output, and the enclosed terminal box accepts plenum-rated wire or conduit. Included cutout templates, tile support rails, a C-shaped backing plate, and paint shields streamline installation. Browse related models in our JBL Professional installed audio collection.
