At InfoComm 2013, HARMAN’s JBL
Professional is introducing its Control 10 Series—three new in-ceiling
loudspeakers that combine installation-friendly features with superior sound
quality and value. The Control 16C/T, Control 14C/T and Control 12C/T are
designed for applications where lower- to medium-volume music playback and
paging is appropriate, including retail stores, restaurants, music/paging
systems, airports, waiting rooms and many other areas.
“Blind-mount
speakers tend to be the easiest and most cost effective speakers to install for
projects that don’t require pre-installed backcan. The Control 10 Series
models broaden our lineup with a new series of cost-effective blind-mount
ceiling speakers, letting customers choose exactly the right loudspeaker for
their requirements,” said Rick Kamlet, Senior Manager, Installed Sound, JBL
Professional. “These are some very nice sounding speakers at excellent price
points.”
The 2-way,
6.5-inch Control 16C/T coaxial loudspeaker, 2-way, 4-inch Control 14C/T coaxial
loudspeaker and 3-inch Control 12C/T compact loudspeaker can be used in 70/100V
distributed audio systems or with low-impedance direct operation. All models
are available in either white or black. Each model has a blind-mount backcan
for quick, easy installation and includes dual conduit/cable strain-relief
clamps and removable locking speaker terminal connectors with screw terminals
and loop-through terminals.
The Control
16C/T, 14C/T and 12C/T are designed to deliver clean, detailed, high-quality
sound over a wide coverage area. The 16C/T and 14C/T’s woofers feature a
lightweight, anodized aluminum voice coil former and high temperature voice
coil for stable performance and reliability even under constant use. The woofer
cones are made of water- and humidity-resistant polypropylene, with a butyl
rubber surround that provides long-term durability and sonic damping. The
woofer’s computer-optimized motor construction, cone geometry and linear
suspension design enable an even frequency response and more consistent
off-axis performance.
The Control 10 Series loudspeakers all
feature an ABS baffle with a UL94-V0 and UL94-5VB fire rating and a zinc-plated
backcan and all are UL1480 and UL2043 certified, with transformers that are
UL1876 registered.
