Description

APPLICATIONS
The Control 68HP is a very high output, full-range, two-way pendant-type loudspeaker that provides superb sound reproduction and very consistent, wide coverage for rooms with open architecture ceilings, rooms with lively acoustics (ie, lowering the height of the speakers to increase the direct-to-reverberant sound ratio), and other locations where a pendant form factor is desired. The wide 110° coverage pattern allows for the use of fewer speakers, reducing the cost of the installed system without sacrificing performance.
High output, excellent sound quality coupled with stylish design and easy installation makes the Control 68HP ideal for a wide variety of applications including retail, restaurants, hotels, casinos, fitness centers, convention centers, exhibit spaces, conference rooms, atriums, museums, transit centers and other applications with open-ceilings, lively acoustics, or where the pendant form factor is desired for aesthetic reasons.
Control 68HP provides extremely consistent 110°constant directivity conical coverage. The coaxial driver’s pole piece is internally milled to form a low-distortion throat while the cone forms the bell of a conically-contoured constant directivity horn, resulting in extremely consistent sound character throughout the entire listening area.
The Control 68HP includes a single-point mounting system for easy and secure suspension in open-ceiling applications. Two complete hanging cable systems are included, providing both main and safety suspension cables. Included are extra-long 4.5 m (15 foot) high tensile galvanized steel wire rope having spring clips for the loudspeaker end of the cable and UL listed cable fasteners for infinitely adjustable suspension height.
The system’s 209 mm (8 in) low-frequency driver features a Kevlar™ reinforced cone and a large 50 mm (2 in) CCAW voice coil on a fiberglass voice coil former for high power and improved long-term reliability. The coaxially-mounted 25 mm (1 in) compression driver features a titanium dome with damped resonance and a Kapton™ voice coil former for enhanced long-term sound level capability combined with highfidelity sound quality.
The Control 68HP contains a high-quality 68 Watt multi-tap transformer for use on 70V/100V distributed loudspeaker lines, and is switchable for 8-ohm voice-coil direct operation.
Euro-style clip-in connectors allow for each wiring. For protected/covered outdoor applications, rubber boots are included to cover the input connectors, and an optional terminal cover (MTC-60PC) is available for direct-exposure locations.
