The JBL Professional Control 64P/T is a compact, full-range pendant loudspeaker designed for open architecture ceilings and other installations where a pendant form factor is required. Ideal for applications such as retail spaces, restaurants, fitness centers, convention centers, museums, transit centers, and more, the Control 64P/T offers high-fidelity sound reproduction with a stylish and unobtrusive design. This versatile loudspeaker provides exceptional sound quality, making it an excellent choice for both foreground and background music in a variety of commercial and public environments.
At the heart of the Control 64P/T is a 100 mm (4-inch) full-range driver, featuring a polypropylene-coated cone and a 20 mm (0.8-inch) high-temperature copper voice coil. The driver is engineered to handle high power and deliver consistent performance with enhanced reliability. This driver is housed in a high-impact polystyrene enclosure that ensures durability while maintaining excellent acoustic properties. The speaker's design enables it to achieve a wide frequency range (200 Hz to 17 kHz), delivering clear, crisp audio for both speech and music applications. The system also provides a rated maximum SPL of 103 dB peak, ensuring robust sound output even in large spaces.
One of the key features of the Control 64P/T is its 120-degree coverage pattern, which distributes sound broadly across the listening area, ensuring that every part of the space receives consistent audio. This broad coverage makes the speaker ideal for environments with open ceilings where multiple speakers can be positioned for optimal coverage without the need for excessive loudspeakers. The Control 64P/T is compatible with a range of sound systems, offering both 8-ohm direct operation and 70V/100V transformer options for use in distributed audio systems. The built-in transformer allows the speaker to be used with a variety of amplifiers, and the speaker's impedance can be easily switched to meet system requirements.
The Control 64P/T is designed for easy installation, featuring a single-point mounting system that simplifies suspension in open-ceiling applications. The included hanging system comes with two 4.5-meter (15-foot) high-tensile galvanized steel suspension cables, which are equipped with spring clips for secure attachment to the speaker. The system also includes UL-listed Gripple brand adjustable-height cable fasteners, which allow for easy and precise height adjustments. The cables have a safe working load (SWL) rating of 45 kg (99 lbs), ensuring a secure and stable installation. Additionally, the speaker comes with rubber terminal covers for added protection in outdoor or harsh environments, and an optional terminal cover is available for more demanding applications.
The Control 64P/T is available in both black and white finishes to suit a wide range of environments, and the speaker is paintable to match specific design requirements. Whether you are outfitting a commercial venue, conference room, or any other public space, the Control 64P/T delivers exceptional audio performance in a compact, easy-to-install package.
