Frequently asked questions
Which speaker is better for a retail store with drop ceilings?
The Control 67P/T-WH is purpose-designed for pendant installation in suspended ceilings and includes all necessary hanging hardware. The Control HST-WH can also work in retail but mounts flush to walls and is better suited for solid wall mounting.
Which has more bass output?
The Control 67P/T-WH with its 6.5" woofer delivers fuller, deeper bass than the 5.25" woofer in the HST-WH. However, the HST-WH's dual tweeters and higher sensitivity (88 dB) help it maintain clarity across a wider listening area despite smaller woofer size.
Which speaker is better for humid environments like a hotel lobby or pool area?
The Control HST-WH includes IP54 and Mil-Std-810 environmental ratings specifically for humidity and moisture resistance, making it superior for hospitality and semi-outdoor applications. The 67P/T-WH is not rated for these environmental stresses.
Are both compatible with 70V/100V distributed audio systems?
Yes—both speakers include 60-watt multi-tap 70V/100V transformers and are engineered for standard distributed audio system installation. System integration difficulty is similar for both models.
