Harman's JBL Professional Adds to Control Contractor 60 Series with Control 60PS/T Pendant SubwooferAt last week's InfoComm 2014, Harman's JBL Professional introduced the latest addition to its Control Contractor 60 Series pendant loudspeakers with the new Control 60PS/T pendant subwoofer. This high-impact pendant subwoofer features built-in passive crossover for up to four satellite loudspeakers. Featuring 150W power handling and low distortion, the long-excursion 8" low-frequency driver features butyl rubber surround for well-damped, tight sound quality and long-term reliability, along with a polypropylene-coated cone for humidity protection. The high-temperature, 2" voice coil and low-mass fiberglass coil former ensure good bass transient response and excellent stability under high power, high duty-cycle, working conditions. The Control 60PS/T may be driven by itself or with other subwoofers on an amplifier channel, sending it either a signal that has been actively low-passed earlier in the signal chain, or a full-range signal utilizing the built-in passive 125Hz low-pass filter. The included passive crossover also provides high-passed satellite outputs, in a full-range, wide-bandwidth, passively-crossed, mono subwoofer-satellite system. A 100W multi-tap, wide-bandwidth, low-saturation transformer allows the Control 60PS/T to be used on either a 70V/100V distributed loudspeaker system or as a direct low-impedance 8-ohm loudspeaker. A loop out connector is provided on the subwoofer for looping the full-range input signal to other loudspeakers or to other subwoofer/satellite systems. Rubber boot covers for each locking connector protect the terminals and the optional MTC-PC60 full-top cover accessory adds additional terminal protection for when using outdoors. "The Control 60 Series has found its way into countless environments including restaurants, retail stores, music cafes, health clubs, theme bars, leisure venues, and other locations where full-range, high-fidelity foreground/background music systems are utilized," said Rick Kamlet, senior manager, commercial sound, JBL Professional. "The Control 60PS/T subwoofer now adds even more flexibility to the Control 60 Series, giving audio system designers and integrators a wider range of options for these applications."
