JBL Control 60PS/T 8" PENDANT SUBWOOFER, BLK
Description
JBL Control 60PS/T 8" Pendant Subwoofer, Black
The Control 60PS/T is a compact, suspension-mounted subwoofer designed for permanent installation in studio monitoring and institutional audio environments. Its lightweight polystyrene enclosure and integrated cable system enable flexible placement from ceiling mounts, while the IP44 splash-proof rating and Mil-STD-810 compliance ensure reliable operation in controlled studio spaces or semi-protected acoustic environments.
Low-End Extension & Monitoring Capabilities
This subwoofer delivers 300W continuous program power with a frequency response of 55–125 Hz (±3 dB), providing extended low-end definition across a 42–350 Hz range at −10 dB. Peak output reaches 113 dB SPL, sufficient for near-field bass monitoring and mix verification in compact studios and control rooms without coloration or acoustic bloom.
Signal Path & System Integration
The integrated 110W multi-tap transformer supports 70V, 100V, or 8-ohm operation, streamlining integration into existing studio signal chains without external impedance matching. A built-in passive crossover with high-pass outputs enables direct connection of 2–4 satellite speakers for cohesive full-range monitoring, while removable locking Euroblock connectors facilitate fast cable management and reconfiguration during session setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the frequency response and maximum output?
The Control 60PS/T covers 55–125 Hz at ±3 dB (42–350 Hz at −10 dB) with a peak output of 113 dB SPL. It delivers 300W continuous program power and is rated for medium-sized coverage areas where speech clarity and background music reinforcement are the priority, not high-SPL bass-heavy applications.
How does the amplifier connection work?
An integrated 110W multi-tap transformer supports 70V, 100V, or 8-ohm operation, so you don't need external impedance matching. Taps include 110W, 55W, 30W, and 15W at 70V, and locking Euroblock connectors simplify wiring and maintenance.
Can I run satellite speakers directly off this subwoofer?
Yes. The built-in passive crossover with high-pass outputs lets you connect 2–4 satellite speakers directly to the Control 60PS/T, streamlining installation and reducing the need for separate processing.
Is it suitable for outdoor or wet environments?
The Control 60PS/T carries an IP44 splash-proof rating and Mil-STD-810 compliance (humidity, salt spray, temperature, UV resistance), making it reliable indoors and in semi-protected outdoor spaces like covered patios or sheltered entryways.
How does it install?
It suspends from ceilings via supplied cable systems, and its lightweight polystyrene enclosure keeps installation straightforward. Removable locking Euroblock connectors make it easy to disconnect for maintenance or relocation.
