Applications:
The Control 42C is an ultra-compact inceiling professional satellite loudspeaker
designed for use with the Control 40CS/T
subwoofer. When combined with the
Control 40CS/T, the Control 42C offers an
extremely natural sounding and powerful
subwoofer-satellite system that is perfect for
applications requiring wide bandwidth and
superior sonic performance with minimal
visual impact.
The integrated backcan on the
Control 42C combined with the C-ring
support backing plate allows for a quick
and easy installation of the unit. The
system’s 60 mm (2.5 in) mid-high driver
features a polypropylene cone and pure
butyl-rubber surround for long life. The
copper-clad aluminum voice coil wound on
a vented aluminum former offers low
distortion.
The 16-ohm impedance allows paralleling
up to 4 speakers on a 4-ohm capable
amplifier.
The Control 42C must be operated with
either an active high-pass filter or a passive
crossover, such as the one built into the
Control 40CS/T subwoofer, to protect it
against damage from low frequencies.
Because of the very light weight of
Control 42C, tile rails may not be required
for many in-ceiling applications. They are
not packaged with this model, however
MTC-RAIL tile rail sets are available
separately.
Housed in a compact package, the
lightweight Control 42C features an elegant,
unobtrusive design and is ideal for both
small and large projects alike.
