JBL Control 68HP 8" HIGH-POWER PENDANT SPKR W CD, BLK


Product Description

JBL Control 68HP 8" High-Power Pendant Speaker

The JBL Control 68HP delivers professional-grade projection from a compact pendant-mounted form factor, making it ideal for medium-to-large venue coverage without dominating sightlines. Its dual-suspension system with high-tensile galvanized steel wire rope ensures secure, stable installation in permanent or temporary setups. Built for reliability in demanding commercial and installed-sound environments, this speaker combines serious output capability with the aesthetic discretion required in hospitality, retail, and entertainment venues.

Acoustic Performance

The 8-inch Kevlar-reinforced woofer paired with a titanium dome compression driver produces clean, controlled output across a wide frequency range, from 72 Hz to 16 kHz (3 dB). Maximum output reaches 114 dB continuous and 120 dB peak at 1 meter, delivering clarity and impact suited to speech reinforcement, background music, and live sound applications without distortion or strain.

Installation & Specifications

Multiple 70V and 100V transformer taps (ranging from 8.5W to 68W) enable flexible line-array and distributed-speaker configurations on standard installed-sound infrastructure. The 110° constant-directivity dispersion pattern ensures even coverage across listening areas, while the included two complete suspension cable systems (main and safety) and 4.5-meter high-tensile wire rope provide dependable support and redundancy.
