Frequently asked questions
Can I use the EON715 for a permanent installation like the Control 67P/T?
Technically yes, but the EON715 is designed for portability and gigging. It lacks the durability certifications (Mil Spec 810, IP44) and environmental resistance of the Control 67P/T, making it suboptimal for fixed commercial venues exposed to humidity, temperature swings, or salt spray.
Is the Control 67P/T suitable for live band performance?
No. The Control 67P/T maxes out at 109 dB SPL and is designed for paging and background music in medium rooms. The EON715 delivers 128 dB SPL and full-spectrum coverage (45–20 kHz) needed for live performance with clarity and headroom.
Do I need an external amplifier and mixer for either speaker?
The Control 67P/T requires an external amplifier (it includes a 60W multi-tap transformer for passive operation). The EON715 has a built-in 650W RMS amplifier and 3-channel digital mixer, so it operates standalone.
Which has better low-frequency response?
The EON715 extends to 45 Hz with a 15-inch woofer and delivers punchy bass. The Control 67P/T reaches 58 Hz (−10 dB) with a 6.5-inch woofer, suitable for voice and background music but not music-heavy applications requiring deep bass.
