Description

The JBL Control 68HP is a full-range two-way pendant speaker with high output and power handling for open-ceiling rooms and live spaces: retail, hospitality, fitness centers, convention centers, exhibit spaces, conference rooms, atriums, museums and transit centers. This listing is for the black version. Sold in pairs; the price is for one speaker.

A 209 mm (8 in) Kevlar-reinforced woofer with a 50 mm (2 in) voice coil and a coaxial 25 mm (1 in) titanium-dome compression driver give 110° constant-directivity coverage, so fewer speakers can cover a room. A 68 W multi-tap transformer runs it on 70V or 100V lines or switches to 8 ohm direct, and two hanging cable systems with adjustable height are included.
