CONTROL 40 SERIES PREPARATION

The installation of the Control Contractor 40 Series in-ceiling loudspeakers can be accomplished, if necessary, without requiring access above the ceiling. Bracketry for use with either suspended ceilings or sheetrock ceilings is included (see below for additional details on the Control 42C). The loudspeaker is held securely in place via mounting ears which lock into place. Inputs are attached to a removable locking connector (included) which can be prewired before installing the loudspeaker for ultra-fast snap-on installation. The lightweight Control 42C (0.7 kg / 1.6 lbs) includes a C-ring but does NOT include tile rails. In the event that tile rails are required, they are available as an optional accessory (MTC-Rail).
OPTIONAL PRE-INSTALLATION BRACKETS IN MOST CASES, NO BRACKETS OTHER THAN THE ONES INCLUDED WITH YOUR SPEAKER ARE REQUIRED. Everything needed for most installations of these loudspeakers is provided with your Control Contractor 40 Series in-ceiling loudspeakers.
Installation into sheet rock (typically gypsum board) can be facilitated by the use of JBL’s optional preinstallation brackets before the sheetrock is installed. The preinstallation bracket provides a bracket to which wiring can be tied behind the sheetrock and it can function as a cutout template when many cutouts are to be made in a production-line style installation.  Two types of pre-installation brackets are available from JBL Professional as optional accessories: The optional NEW-CONSTRUCTION BRACKETS (available options and listed below) are made of flat sheet metal, with wings to attach to the building structure. Holes are drilled for nails or screws at 16 inches (406 mm) and 24 inches (610 mm) on-center. Additional holes can be drilled by the installer at other spacings up to a maximum of 24-3/4 inches (630 mm) apart. Sheet rock installs over the bracket, and the bracket provides a template for blind cutout of the hole in the sheet rock. The sheet rock is typically cut with a router-type cutting tool, using the bracket ring as a cutout guide.

MTC-19NC for the Control 47HC & Control 40 CS/T
The optional MUD-RING BRACKET (available options and listed below) contains a circular offset, forming an edge guide for sheet rock plastering. The bracket has wings that attach to the building structure. Sheet rock is typically precut, then the sheet rock hole can be plastered (or “mudded”) up to the ring to create a seamless cutout.

USING INCLUDED C-BRACKET WITH SHEETROCK For many installations, the INCLUDED C-shaped backing plate provides adequate reinforcement to the ceiling material, spreading out the clamping force from the tab clamps.
CUTOUT SIZES
Packaged with the speakers are cardboard cutout templates for scribing the cutout hole onto your ceiling surface. The cutout size diameters for the Control Contractor 40 Series are listed on the following page.

CONTROL 40 SERIES INSTALLATION

The installation system has been designed so that the entire installation can be accomplished from beneath the ceiling, for instances when access above the tile is not possible or practical. However, in some cases it may be easier with removable ceiling tiles to access from both the top and bottom of the ceiling tile during various phases of the installation. Step 1 – Cut the Hole. Cutout the hole size either by tracing the cardboard cutout template or with a circular cutter set to the cutout sizes listed below and pull the wiring through the cutout hole.
Control 42C: 4.1 inches (104 mm)
Control 45C/T: 8.8 inches (220 mm)
Control 47C/T: 11.1 inches (282 mm)
Control 47LP: 11.1 inches (282 mm)
Control 47HC: 12.1 inches (307 mm)
Control 40CS/T: 12.1 inches (307 mm)

JBL Control 47C T Professional Loudspeakers- Fig 9

Step 2 – Insert Backing Hardware Through the Hole.
Packaged with the speakers are two types of backing hardware – a C-shaped backing-plate bracket and two tile rails (except for the lightweight Control 42C which does
NOT include tile rails). Suspended Ceilings – Insert the C-plate through the hole cut in the ceiling tile. Place the C-plate around the hole with the tabs pointing upwards  nabling the C-plate to lie flat on the tile. Insert the tile rails through the cut hole in the ceiling tile. Snap the two rails into the two tabs in the C-plate and align the rails so that the ends extend OVER the T-channel grid on the side of the tile. Secure the rails onto the C-bracket tabs by inserting a screw through each tab into the rail. This can all be accomplished from below the ceiling tile, if necessary.
For safety when installing in suspended ceiling tiles, utilize all included brackets.
Note that the lightweight Control 42C includes a C-ring only, which may be all that is required for some applications. If the application calls for tile rails, they are available separately as part number MTC-RAIL.

JBL Control 47C T Professional Loudspeakers- Fig 10

Tile Rails: The tile rails are designed to fit either standard 24inch wide tiles or 600-mm wide tiles. The tile rail pieces do NOT physically attach to the T-grid struts. Instead, the  nverted-V shape at the ends of the rails sit OVER the T-grid strut. During normal operation, the rails are supported by the edge of the tile. In the unlikely event that the tile comes out or falls apart, the ends of the support rails are designed to catch onto the T-grid, providing secure support to hold the loudspeaker assembly in place.
Vibration Reduction: These loudspeakers can generate substantial vibration, which can cause buzzing of the ceiling  materials or structure. Depending on the character of the  eiling tile and structure, the installer might need to place neoprene or other dampening material under the tile rails or the edges of the tiles to address rattles from the ceiling materials. Cutout Placement: The tile rails are pre-punched with attachment holes along their length. Placement is not limited to the center of the tile as is the case with many other tile rail support systems. Non-Suspended Ceiling Types – The C-bracket can be optionally used by itself to shore up the ceiling material and to spread out the clamping force from the tab clamps. Insert the C-plate through the cut hole in the ceiling and place it on the back side of the hole before inserting the speaker.
Two Landing Dog-Ears – All Control 40 Series Loudspeakers (except the Control 42C) are equipped with a two-landing dog ear suspension system enabling them to be used  ith ceiling tiles that are up to 70 mm (2.75 inches) thick. If using Second Landing Control 40 loudspeakers with ceiling tiles that are greater than 54 mm (2.125 inches) thick, start with the dog ear in the second (top) landing to ensure clearance and ease of installation.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

Control Contractor 40 Series in-ceiling loudspeakers include Euroblock locking input connectors that allow the system to be “pre-wired”.
Connecting the Wiring to the Euroblock — Connect the wiring to the removable locking connector that is INCLUDED with the speaker by stripping the insulation back about 5 mm (about 3/16 inch), inserting the bare end of wire into the connector and screwing down the holddown screw until tight using a small flatblade screwdriver. Tighten any unused screws to avoid vibration. Using terminal block connectors allows the system to be pre-wired before final installation of the product.

When wiring Control Contractor 40 Series loudspeakers, always use proper electrical wiring practices in accordance with your area’s building codes and regulations.
Connecting the Input Terminal Block on Control Contractor 40 Series Loudspeakers — The input terminal cover on all Control Contractor 40 Series are fitted with a conduit connector for securing wiring conduit to and from the unit. To wire the unit:

  1. Loosen the screw on top of the input terminal cover and then remove (and save) the input terminal cover screw on the side of the can.
  2. Swing open the input terminal cover and remove the euroblock connector. Loop Thru Loop Thru IN IN
  3. Insert the bare ends of wire into the Euroblock connector and secure the wires with the hold-down screws. (see Connecting the Wiring to the Euroblock)
  4. Loosen the conduit connector on the input terminal cover and insert the wired euroblock connector through the conduit connector opening. Connect the euroblock to the matching receptacle.
  5. Close the input terminal cover and tighten the terminal cover screws.
  6. Allowing sufficient strain relief slack for the input wiring and re-tighten the conduit connector on the terminal cover.

NOTE: The input terminal cover on Control Contractor 40 Series loudspeakers includes a .75 in (19 mm) knockout for an additional conduit clamp. This knockout point can be used in addition to the conduit connector located on the top of the can and is useful for wiring Knockout loop-thru runs or when access is limited on the top of the can.

Guide to Connection Pins on Control 40 Loudspeakers — There are two (2) removable locking input connectors with two (2) terminals on each for the Control 42C, Control 47C/T, Control 47LP and Control 47HC and six (6) terminals on the Control 40CS/T. The pin functions are listed on the label located on the can.
JBL Control 47C T Professional Loudspeakers- Fig 14To wire Control 40 Series loudspeakers simply connect the positive wire to the “+” pin and connect the negative wire to the “-” pin. The “IN” pins are paralled to the “LOOP THRU” pins (+ and – respectively) inside the loudspeaker. The “Loop Thru” pins allow a parallel connection to an additional loudspeaker.
To select the operating mode or desired output tap of the loudspeaker, simply rotate the tap selector switch located on the front of the baffle to the desired setting.
Note: Both 70V/(100V) connections and low impedance connections are made via the same input pins. When using the transformer tap selections, be sure that the power amplifier is set on 70V/(100V) mode and the leads feeding the system are connected to 70V/(100V) outputs on the amplifier.
Hookup Schemes for Subsequent Speakers Using Loop-Through Terminals — By connecting the wire pair of a subsequent speakers to the “Loop Thru” on the Control
40 Series Loudspeakers all subsequent speakers will be disconnected when this speaker’s connector is disconnected during troubleshooting. This can be useful as a way to isolate problems to a section of the distributed line while leaving the wires attached to the connector.

JBL Control 47C T Professional Loudspeakers- Fig 16

Hookup Schemes for Subwoofer-Satellite Systems Using Control 40CS/T & Control 42C Loudspeakers The Control 40CS/T subwoofer features a built-in crossover network designed for use with the Control 42C Ultra-Compact Satellite loudspeakers. Two or four Control 42C satellite loudspeakers can be used with the Control 40CS/T to create an extremely natural sounding and powerful subwoofersatellite system that is perfect for applications requiring wide bandwidth and superior sonic performance with minimal visual impact. Using four Control 42C satellite loudspeakers with a Control 40CS/T will offer approximately twice the area coverage of a system using only two Control 42C satellite loudspeakers.
The Control 40CS/T and Control 42C Sub-Sat system can be driven either via a 70V/(100V) distributed line or in low impedance direct mode. Like the rest of the Control 40 Series, 70V/(100V) and low impedance connections are made via the same input connector on the Control 40CS/T. The Control 42C Satellites are then connected to satellite output connectors located on the Control 40CS/T. With the Transformer Tap/ Bypass switch set to the bypass/8Ω low impedance mode, the Control 40CS/T subwoofer itself presents an 8Ω load on your amplifier, and a two satellite system also creates an 8Ω load on your amplifier, whereas a four satellite system creates a 4Ω load. Choose whichever of the following hookup patterns best accommodates your installation. All satellite speakers must terminate at the Control 40CS/T subwoofer.
Connecting the Control42C Satellite to the Control 40CS/T Subwoofer t speakers will be
Satellite Home Run to Subwoofer — There are four satellite output connecdtors on the Control 40CS/T. If using only two Control 42C satellites, connect each loudspeaker to a single output connecdtor as shown in the diagram below; one Control 42C in “Sat 1” and the second Control 42C to “Sat 2” ONLY. “Sat 3” and “Sat 4” connectors should not be used.

JBL Control 47C T Professional Loudspeakers- Fig 17

If using four Control 42C satellites, connect each loudspeaker to a single output connector as shown in the diagram below, one Control 42C to “Sat 1”, the second Control 42C to “Sat 2”, the third Control 42C to “Sat 3”, the fourth Control 42C to “Sat 4.”
JBL Control 47C T Professional Loudspeakers- Fig 18

Use only either two or four satellite loudspeakers as described in the recommended configurations. Do not use one or three satellite speakers, or it could result in uneven sound levels and / or damage to your sound system.

PAINTING & CONTACTING JBL

PAINTING CONTROL CONTRACTOR 40 SERIES LOUDSPEAKERS
The trim ring and grille of Control Contractor 40 Series loudspeakers can be painted to match almost any decor. The speaker’s polystyrene rim accepts almost any type of latex or oil based paint.
For best results, the following procedure is recommended:

  1. Clean the rim and grille with a light solvent such as mineral spirits by rubbing the item with a lightly dampened cloth. Do not use abrasives such as sandpaper or steel wool, nor should you use gasoline, kerosene, acetone, MEK, paint thinner, harsh detergents or other chemicals. Use of these cleaners may result in permanent damage to the enclosure.
  2. After cleaning, apply two or more thin coats of either latex or oil-based paints. Latex paint will adhere better if an oil-based primer is used first. Application can be made by rolling, brushing or spraying. Painting the Speaker Along With the Ceiling – Insert the clear plastic paint shield into the front of the speaker to mask the drivers and internal baffle, paint the speaker, then remove the shield.

Painting the Grille – Painting the grille requires removal of the grille logo prior to painting (it is held on with light adhesive — the logo should be stuch back onto the grille aftger painting, making sure it is located in the exact center of the grille).
The backing to the grille is glued in place so that it can’t interfere with the movement of the woofer cone. Leave the grille backing in place. Spray or brush the grille lightly using thinned paint. Make sure the spray is light enough so that when the grille is held up to the light, light can still be seen through the grille holes (which means that sound can also get through). Spray only the front of the grille, not the back. It is sometimes useful to spray presurized air from the back of the grille while the paint is still wet to ensure that the backing is not clogged. Using a roller for the paint is discouraged because the backing may become clogged with paint and poor sound quality may result.
However, using a very short-napped roller can be made to work.
Maintenance — No maintenance is required when assembled in accordance with the instructions and wiring guidelines described in this manual.
