Description: The Control 28-1 is a two-way 8” speaker with rich sonic character, wide The HF driver’s low viscosity ferro-magnetic fluid increases voice coil coverage, consistent coverage, versatile mounting, and a contemporary cooling for higher long-term power handling. The PEI diaphragm delivers high-design look that fits into a wide range of decors, This makes Control a smooth high frequency sound quality. A light weight Kapton™ voice 28-1 an excellent choice for a wide variety of applications, including coil former increases durability while providing better high frequency retail stores, restaurants, health clubs, theme parks, educational response extension. All these factors also contribute toward making the facilities, hospitality, music cafes, leisure venues, and anywhere where driver especially rugged for outdoor and other stressful applications. a top quality high-output indoor/ outdoor foreground/background music In addition to the driver designs contributing toward a high degree of (and/or paging) speaker is required. weather resistance, the cabinet provides excellent endurance against The unique InvisiBall mounting hardware is included in with each system, sun, salt and moisture.
