Applications:

The Control 65P/T is a compact full-range, two-way pendant-type loudspeaker that provides superb sound reproduction and very consistent, wide coverage for rooms with open architecture ceilings and other locations where a pendant form factor is desired.

JBL’s patent-pending Radiation Boundary Integrator groundbreaking V loudspeakers, delivers consistent coverage of the listening area. Combining a large 200 mm (8 in) diameter waveguide with low-frequency projection apertures, the two coaxially-mounted drivers provide a seamless integration of coverage, resulting in extremely even pattern control and coverage where all listeners hear a consistent, high-ﬁdelity sound quality. The wide 120° coverage pattern allows for the use of fewer speakers, reducing the cost of the installed system without sacriﬁcing performance.

Excellent sound quality coupled with stylish design and easy installation makes the Control 65P/T 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 open-ceiling applications.

The Control 65P/T 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. Include 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 130 mm (5¼ in) low-frequency driver features a polypropylene-coated cone and 25 mm (1 in) copper voice coil with vented ﬁberglass resin coil-former for high power handling and improved long-term reliability. The coaxially-mounted 20 mm (¾ in) textile softdome high frequency driver features internal damping for smooth extended response, along with an aluminum voice coil former and neodymium magnet assembly with ferro-ﬂuid cooling, for high-ﬁdelity sound quality with enhanced long-term sound level capability.

The Control 65P/T contains a high-quality 60 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 easy wiring. For protected outdoor applications, rubber boots are included to cover the input connectors, and an optional terminal cover is available for harsher locations.

Continuous Pink Noise rating is IEC-shaped pink noise with a 6 dB peak-to-average crest factor for 100 hours continuously. Continuous Program power is a conservative expression of the system’s ability to handle normal speech and music program material and is deﬁned as 3 dB above the Continuous Pink Noise rating.

Full-space (suspend in free air), average 1 kHz to 10 kHz.
