Description
The Control 18C/T is a high-output full-range ceiling loudspeaker designed for demanding commercial and professional audio environments. It features an 8-inch high-performance woofer paired with a 25 mm soft-dome liquid-cooled tweeter, delivering powerful bass, clear midrange, and detailed high-frequency response. The speaker is housed in a vented, paintable, UV-resistant ABS baffle with an integrated steel backcan for secure mounting and consistent acoustic performance. It supports both 8Ω low-impedance operation and 70V/100V distributed audio systems, making it ideal for high-ceiling and high-coverage applications such as airports, convention centers, hotels, retail spaces, educational facilities, and large public venues.
