sound systems. The Control 26C is perfectly suited for a

to the listener, ensuring reliability while providing full
fidelity sound. The computer-optimized ported enclosure
delivers warm, smooth bass response. Low frequency
output can be further augmented with the addition of
one of the Control Contractor subwoofer models.
