The JBL Control 65P/T is a professional compact pendant loudspeaker designed to deliver clear, consistent sound in commercial spaces with open ceilings or exposed architectural structures. Featuring JBL's Radiation Boundary Integrator® (RBI) technology and a 120° conical coverage pattern, the Control 65P/T provides wide, even sound distribution for background music, paging, and distributed audio systems.
With a 5.25-inch low-frequency driver, integrated high-frequency driver, and built-in 60-watt multi-tap transformer, this pendant speaker combines full-range audio performance with flexible installation options. Its contemporary hanging design makes it especially suitable for restaurants, retail stores, hotels, offices, and other commercial environments where traditional ceiling speakers may not be practical.
Wide, Consistent Coverage with JBL RBI Technology
The JBL Control 65P/T uses Radiation Boundary Integrator® technology to provide smooth sound distribution throughout the listening area. Its wide 120° conical coverage helps distribute music and announcements evenly across open spaces.
This broad dispersion can be especially beneficial in commercial installations where consistent sound coverage and speech intelligibility are important.
Flexible 70V/100V and 8-Ohm Operation
The JBL Control 65P/T features an integrated 60-watt multi-tap transformer for use with commercial 70V and 100V distributed audio systems.
For installations using conventional low-impedance amplification, the speaker also supports 8-ohm operation.
This flexibility allows system designers to incorporate the Control 65P/T into a variety of commercial sound reinforcement and background music applications.
Designed for Open-Ceiling Commercial Installations
Unlike traditional in-ceiling speakers, the JBL Control 65P/T hangs from the ceiling using its included suspension cable system.
The pendant design is particularly useful in spaces with exposed ductwork, high ceilings, or architectural features that make flush-mounted loudspeakers impractical.
Two suspension cable assemblies are included, providing primary and secondary safety suspension for appropriate installations.
