Applications:
Control 328C and Control 328CT have
been engineered from the ground up to
deliver exceptional next-generation
performance in a coaxial point source
design ceiling loudspeaker. The
combination of the low frequency cone
and the shaped mounting baffle performs as
a true 12 inch (300 mm) diameter
waveguide for the high frequencies. A
unique metal throat transitions seemlessly to
the horn to eliminate high frequency
beaming which is common among this
category of speaker. The result is a coaxial
speaker with wide, extremely consistent
120° coverage on a broadband basis.
Component features include a Kevlarreinforced low frequency cone for reliability,
well-damped surround for smooth
frequency response, high temperature
voicecoil and a reduced distortion design
through saturated-gap magnet geometry.
The high frequency driver features a pure
titanium diaphragm for high sensitivity and
long life, with diamond surround for
resonance control and FerroFluid™ for
increased power handling.
The Control 328C and Control 328CT are
easy to install. The removable multi-pin
locking connector, with secure screw-down
terminals, allows for pre-wiring the input
wires for easy clip-on convenience during
installation.
The clean, contemporary look of the
optional MTC-RG6/8 round grille is
designed to suit high-end venues, offering a
simple, elegant appearance that fits into a
wide variety of décors.
The optional MTC-300BB8 one cubic foot
backcan is made of extra-thick 16 gauge
steel and the top is lined with ½” medium
density fiberboard.
The transformer version Control 328CT
comes with a pre-attached top quality, low
saturation 68 Watt multi-tap transformer for
70V/100V distributed speaker lines.
To ensure long life and reliability, Control
328C/CT passes JBL’s 100-hour torture
power test, the toughest standard in the
industry.
