Control 18C/T is a full-range ceiling speaker consisting of a 200 mm (8.0 inch) high tech cone driver and a 25 mm soft-dome liquid cooled tweeter mounted in a vented, paintable baffle made of UV resistant UL94-V0 and UL94-5HB 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 medium to high 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 speaker delivers consistent sound quality for listeners located both off and on axis.
8-Inch (200 mm) high output driver with polypropylene cone and butyl rubber surround
Blind-mount backcan for quick and easy installation
Dual conduit/cable clamps
58 Hz – 20 kHz bandwidth with 90° coverage
The high technology 200 mm (8.0 in) low-frequency driver is designed with a lightweight, high temperature anodized aluminum voice coil former and high temperature grade voice coil for stable performance and reliability under long-term high power working conditions. The butyl rubber surround provides long-term durability and excellent sonic damping while the polypropylene cone is water and humidity resistant. The FEA-optimized motor construction and cone geometry, along with linear suspension spider design, allow for a smooth frequency response and more consistent off-axis performance. The 25mm (1.0 in) high frequency driver features a highly damped treated silk dome for clear and warm sound, a lightweight Kapton™ voice coil for better high frequency response and excellent reliability, low viscosity liquid cooling for power handling and reliability, and a wide dispersion waveguide design to produce wide cov...

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.
Ideal for a wide variety of projects, the Control 18C/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 60 Watt multitap 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.
