Frequently asked questions
Which speaker covers more floor area?
The Control 67P/T has a 120° nominal coverage angle versus the 67HC/T's 75°, making it better for wider, more uniform distribution in open retail or hospitality spaces. The 67HC/T's narrower angle is intentional for high-ceiling pendant mounting where sound needs to project downward efficiently.
Which is louder?
The Control 67HC/T reaches 118 dB peak SPL at 1 meter compared to the 67P/T's 109 dB, delivering 9 dB more peak output. The 67HC/T also has higher nominal sensitivity (93 dB vs 90 dB), requiring less amplifier power for the same perceived volume.
Can the 67P/T be used outdoors?
Yes. The Control 67P/T exceeds Mil Spec 810 standards and carries an IP44 splashproof rating, making it suitable for covered outdoor environments. The 67HC/T has weather-resistant construction but lacks the same environmental certifications.
What's the frequency range difference?
The 67HC/T spans 110 Hz–16 kHz (±3 dB), while the 67P/T spans 78 Hz–16 kHz (±3 dB), giving the 67P/T deeper bass extension. Both provide adequate range for speech and general commercial programming; the 67P/T's lower floor suits background music better.
