The JBL Control 62P is an ultra-compact pendant-type loudspeaker designed specifically for open architecture ceilings and other spaces where a discreet pendant form factor is essential. This loudspeaker is ideal for applications where visual sensitivity is a priority, such as in high-end retail environments, museums, or galleries. Its compact size and high performance make it particularly well-suited for mid-high frequency applications, especially for speech and mid-range music.
The Control 62P is engineered with a small yet powerful 60 mm (2.5 in) driver that excels in delivering clear and articulate mid-range sound. This driver features a polypropylene-coated cone and a 20 mm (¾ in) copper-clad aluminum voice coil, supported by a vented Nomex® coil-former. This robust construction ensures high power handling and long-term reliability, making it a durable choice for a variety of installation scenarios. To achieve high-fidelity sound quality and extended sound level capability, the Control 62P’s wide bandwidth design is optimized for performance in environments where clarity and consistency are crucial.
For full-range sound reproduction, the Control 62P can be used in conjunction with subwoofers like the Control 50S/T or the Control 40CS/T. When paired with these subwoofers, either 2 or 4 Control 62P units can be driven from the satellite output of a Control 50S/T surface-mount subwoofer (which is typically mounted on a wall) or from the Control 40CS/T in-ceiling subwoofer. This flexibility allows for a customizable audio setup that meets the specific needs of various acoustic environments.
The Control 62P is designed with ease of installation in mind. It includes a single-point mounting system that allows for straightforward and secure suspension in open-ceiling applications. The loudspeaker comes with two complete hanging cable systems, each comprising a 4.5 m (15 ft) long high-tensile galvanized steel wire rope. These cables are equipped with spring clips for attachment to the loudspeaker bracket and UL-listed cable fasteners that provide infinitely adjustable suspension height. This setup ensures that the loudspeaker can be easily positioned and secured at the desired height, accommodating various installation requirements.
The Control 62P’s high 16-ohm impedance is a key feature that enhances its versatility. It allows for the connection of up to 8 units in parallel on a single channel of a 2-ohm capable power amplifier. Alternatively, up to 4 Control 62P units can be connected to the satellite outputs of a Control 50S/T or Control 40CS/T subwoofer, which features a passive crossover. This flexibility in connectivity helps to streamline the installation process and optimize the loudspeaker setup for different audio systems.
In summary, the JBL Control 62P stands out as an ultra-compact, high-performance pendant loudspeaker ideal for applications where visual appeal and sound quality are both critical. Its robust design, easy installation, and compatibility with various subwoofers make it a versatile solution for achieving clear and consistent audio in a range of environments. Whether used alone or in combination with other JBL products, the Control 62P delivers high-fidelity sound and reliable performance.
