The JBL Control 65P/T is a compact, full-range, two-way pendant loudspeaker designed for environments with open architecture ceilings or other settings where a pendant form factor is preferred. This loudspeaker excels in delivering high-quality sound reproduction with wide, consistent coverage, making it suitable for a range of applications, including retail spaces, restaurants, hotels, casinos, fitness centers, convention centers, exhibit areas, conference rooms, atriums, museums, and transit centers.

Utilizing JBL’s innovative Radiation Boundary Integrator® (RBI) technology, which is adapted from the VERTEC™ Series of line array loudspeakers, the Control 65P/T ensures uniform sound coverage across the listening area. The technology combines a large 200 mm (8 in) diameter waveguide with low-frequency projection apertures. The result is a seamless integration of coverage from the two coaxially-mounted drivers, providing exceptionally even pattern control. This setup guarantees that all listeners experience consistent, high-fidelity sound quality, regardless of their position within the room.

The Control 65P/T features a wide 120° coverage pattern, allowing fewer speakers to be used in the installation while still maintaining optimal performance. This efficiency not only reduces the overall cost of the installed sound system but also ensures that the audio coverage is comprehensive and reliable.

The loudspeaker is designed with a single-point mounting system that facilitates easy and secure suspension in open-ceiling applications. For added convenience and safety, the Control 65P/T comes with two complete hanging cable systems. These systems include both main and safety suspension cables, which are made of extra-long 4.5 m (15 ft) high-tensile galvanized steel wire rope. The cables are equipped with spring clips for attaching to the loudspeaker bracket and UL-listed cable fasteners, allowing for infinitely adjustable suspension height.

The Control 65P/T’s low-frequency driver is a 130 mm (5¼ in) unit that features a polypropylene-coated cone and a 25 mm (1 in) copper voice coil, mounted on a vented fiberglass resin coil-former. This construction is designed to handle high power and ensure long-term reliability. The driver’s robust design contributes to the speaker’s ability to deliver clear, powerful sound while maintaining durability and performance over time.

In addition to its impressive audio capabilities, the Control 65P/T is crafted with a stylish design that complements various décor styles. Its sleek appearance and compact size make it an aesthetically pleasing choice for both modern and traditional settings.

Overall, the JBL Control 65P/T provides an excellent balance of sound quality, coverage, and design. Its advanced RBI technology, wide coverage pattern, and easy installation make it a versatile and effective solution for a wide range of audio applications in open-ceiling environments.
