Frequently asked questions
Which speaker works better for a large hotel ballroom or conference center?
The Control 321CT. Its 12" woofer, 118 dB max SPL, and extended low-end response (47 Hz–16 kHz) handle medium-to-large spaces far better than the 6.5" Control 67P/T, which is designed for smaller meeting rooms and retail areas.
What's the key difference in coverage pattern?
The Control 67P/T offers a 120° conical pattern suited to compact spaces, while the Control 321CT employs a 90° constant-directivity pattern optimized for uniform tonal balance across larger, medium-to-large commercial areas without hot spots or dead zones.
Does the Control 321CT really need that much more power capacity?
Yes. The Control 321CT's 250W continuous and 1000W peak rating, combined with its 118 dB SPL capability, handles installations where speech intelligibility and consistent volume across bigger spaces are non-negotiable—the Control 67P/T's 150W max is adequate only for smaller, quieter environments.
Are both speakers compatible with standard 70V/100V systems?
Yes, both include integrated transformers with selectable taps for easy 70V/100V distributed-system wiring. The Control 67P/T has a 60W transformer; the Control 321CT offers higher flexibility with 68W, 34W, 17W, and 8.5W tap options.
