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).
