Applications:

Control 12C/T is a full-range ceiling

speaker consisting of 76 mm (3 inch)

wide-bandwidth cone driver mounted in

a vented, paintable baffle made of UV

resistant UL94-V0 material, with a pre-

attached blind-mount backcan for quick and

easy installation. The speaker is designed

to provide excellent sound quality for a

wide variety of low to medium volume

applications such as music cafes, business

music systems, retail stores, music/paging

systems, airports, reception/waiting rooms,

lounges, courtrooms, convention centers,

hotels, educational facilities, and more.
The 130° coverage is especially wide,

delivering consistent sound quality for

listeners located both off and on axis.
The high technology cone driver

is designed with a lightweight high

temperature Kapton™ voice coil former and

aluminum coupling ring to reduce distortion

and extend the high frequency response

of the system. The FEA-optimized motor

construction and cone geometry allow for

smooth frequency response and improved

off-axis performance. A high temperature

grade voice coil insures stable performance

under long term high power working

conditions. The butyl rubber surround

provides long-term durability and good

sonic damping, and the polypropylene cone

is water and humidity resistant.
The removable locking connector has

screw terminals for secure wire termination

and “loop through” terminals. A dual strain

relief assembly provides clamping for use

with cable or flex conduit.
The compact backcan extends only

138 mm (5.4 inches) behind the baffle,

allowing the speaker to fit into more

shallow ceiling areas.
Ideal for a wide variety of projects, the

Control 12C/T is switchable for use as either

an 8 ohm low-impedance speaker or as part

of a 70V or 100V distributed loudspeaker

system with a 15 Watt multi-tap transformer.

The speaker comes complete with two tile

rail supports, one C-ring support backing

plate, cutout template, paint shield and

grille. A safety seismic attachment ring is

provided on the top surface. Available in

white or black (-BK).
