Frequently asked questions
Which goes where—indoor or outdoor?
The Control 60PS/T-WH is engineered for indoor commercial environments (retail, hospitality, offices) and mounts from the ceiling. The GSB8-TN is designed for outdoor and ground-burial installations, with IP66 weatherproofing for direct moisture exposure.
How deep does each subwoofer reach in bass?
The Control 60PS/T-WH extends to 55 Hz (±3 dB) and reaches 42 Hz at –10 dB. The GSB8-TN reaches down to 35 Hz with a steep lowpass filter, providing truer subwoofer-grade extension for outdoor full-range systems.
What's the skill level required to install each?
The Control 60PS/T-WH is rated for beginner through professional installers and uses simple suspension cables for overhead mounting. The GSB8-TN is professional-level only and requires ground excavation (approximately 18.3" diameter by 24.8" deep hole) and amplifier connectivity planning.
Do either include integrated crossovers or satellite speaker support?
The Control 60PS/T-WH includes a passive crossover with high-pass-filtered outputs designed to integrate with satellite speaker arrays. The GSB8-TN offers multiple voltage modes (6-ohm, 70V, 100V) for flexible amplifier pairing but does not include a crossover.
