Frequently asked questions
Which speaker is better for a 70V/100V distributed audio system?
The SLP12/T-BK includes a built-in 15-watt multi-tap transformer with switchable 70V/100V operation, eliminating external transformers. The Control 62P is designed for direct connection and does not include transformer capability.
Where should each speaker be physically mounted?
The Control 62P mounts from above as a pendant speaker in ceilings or from beams. The SLP12/T-BK mounts flush against walls with a maximum depth under 4 inches, making it suitable for tight or retrofit spaces where pendant mounting is not possible.
How do their frequency responses compare?
The SLP12/T-BK reaches lower frequencies at 91 Hz–18 kHz (±3 dB), while the Control 62P starts at 200 Hz–17 kHz (±3 dB). For applications requiring extended bass, the SLP12/T-BK offers better low-end reach.
Which handles higher output levels?
The SLP12/T-BK supports 40W continuous pink noise and 80W program power. The Control 62P delivers 103 dB peak SPL at 1 meter with a 16-ohm nominal impedance. The SLP12/T-BK generally suits larger rooms needing sustained higher output.
