Applications :
The Control 60PS/T pendant subwoofer
loudspeaker provides bass extension and high
impact for high-fidelity sound systems in a
wide variety of applications including
restaurants, retail stores, music cafes, health
clubs, theme bars, leisure venues, and other
locations where full-range high fidelity
foreground/ background music systems are
utilized. Featuring 150 Watt power handling
and low distortion, the long-excursion 200 nun
(8 in) low frequency driver features butyl
rubber surround for well-damped, tight sound
quality and long-term reliability, and a
polypropylene-coated cone for humidity
protection. The high-temperature 50 mm (2 in)
voice coil and low-mass fiberglass coil former
ensure good bass transient response and
excellent stability under high power, high duty-
cycle, working conditions.
The Control 60PS/T may be driven by itself
(or with other subwoofers) on an amplifier
channel, sending it either a signal that has
been actively low-passed earlier in the signal
chain via DSP or a full-range signal, utilizing
the built-in passive 125 Hz low-pass filter. The
included passive crossover also provides high-
passed satellite outputs for use with either two
or four satellite loudspeakers (not for one or
three satellite speakers), resulting in a full-
range, wide-bandwidth, passively-crossed,
mono subwoofer-satellite system. Using the
built-in passive crossover is best suited for
satellite speakers with sensitivities in the 82 dB
to 86 dB (2.83V @ lm) range, resulting in a
well-balanced overall frequency response.
A 100 Watt multi-tap, wide-bandwidth, l ow-
saturation transformer allows the speaker to be
used on either a 70V/ 100V distributed speaker
system or as a direct low-impedance 8!1
speaker. If satellite speakers are used on the
70V / lO0V settings, the satellite speakers should
be low-impedance (8!1 to 16!1 each).
A loop out connector is provided on the
subwoofer for looping the full-range input
signal to other l oudspeakers or to other
subwoofer / satellite systems. Rubber boot
covers for each locking connector protect the
terminals and the optional MTC-PC60 full-top
cover accessory adds additional terminal
protection for when using outdoors.

z Continuous Pink Noise rating is !EC-shaped pink noise with a 6 dB crest factor for 100 hours continuously. Continuous
Program power is conservative expressi on of the system's ability to handle normal speech and music program material,
and is defined as 3 dB above the Continuous Pink Noise Rating.
JBL continually engages in research related to product improvement. Changes introduced into existing products without
notice are an expression of that philosophy.
