JBL Control 60PS/T-WH 8' PENDANT SUBWOOFER, WHT
Description
JBL Control 60PS/T-WH 8' Pendant Subwoofer, White
The Control 60PS/T-WH is a compact pendant-mounted subwoofer designed for recording and mixing environments where ceiling or wall mounting frees up studio floor space. Its suspension cable system and lightweight design integrate seamlessly into modest control rooms, live tracking spaces, or distributed monitor setups without consuming valuable real estate. This model delivers authoritative low-frequency extension while maintaining the flexibility to integrate with satellite speaker arrays for full-range monitoring scenarios.
Recording & Monitoring Performance
An 8-inch long-excursion driver with a 50mm high-temperature copper voice coil produces 113 dB peak maximum SPL and extends response down to 55 Hz (±3 dB), with reach down to 42 Hz at –10 dB for accurate bass capture and playback across music and dialogue sessions. The integrated passive crossover supplies high-pass-filtered outputs to satellite speakers, maintaining clean frequency separation and phase coherence across your monitoring system.
Studio Mounting & Reliability
Factory-supplied suspension cables rated for 45 kg (99 lb) support safe overhead mounting in studio ceilings or corners, while the IP44 splash-proof high-impact polystyrene enclosure and zinc-plated steel grille resist dust, moisture, and the wear of active studio environments. The unit exceeds Mil Spec 810 standards for humidity, salt spray, temperature, and UV exposure, ensuring consistent long-term performance through extended recording sessions.
