(patent-pending):
• Provides extremely wide horizontal coverage

•
Reduces the prima1y wall reflection, resulting
in
a flat frequency response and consistent sound
character at all listening positions.

Applications:
The
Control
HST
utilizes
JBL
's patent-pending
Hemispherical Soundfield Technology™ to achieve
extremely wide coverage
of
the listening space along
with eliminating the primary wall reflection that
tends to cause inconsistent sound
when
speakers
are attached to a wall. The wide hemispherical
soundfield covers from wall to wall, allowing
a
single
speaker
to provide high-fidelity full-range
sound
to
a large listening area. This can reduce the
number
of
speakers needed for covering a space, lowering the
overall cost for a sound system.
The patent-pending design includes a wall-facing
woofer, two horizontally splayed tweeters, a wall
bracket that spaces the
speaker
the required distance
from the wall,
and
a tapered cabinet that provides
proper loading
and
dispersion
of
the sound. With
most on-wall (surface-mount) speakers, the baffle
of
the speaker
is
some distance from the wall.
It
is
the nature
of
low and low-mid frequency sound
waves to wrap around the
speaker
,
where
they
reflect back
out
from the wall, recombining with the
original sound. When this occurs, some frequencies
add coherently to the original sound and other
frequencies cancel, causing peaks
and
dips in the
resulting frequency response
and
inconsistencies
from location to location within the listening space.
By
substantially reducing this occurrence,
Control
HST
is
able to provide a flatter resulting frequency
response along with a more consistent
sound
character throughout the room.
Control
HST
is
ideal for a wide variety
of
applications, including retail stores, restaurants,
corridors, educational facilities, hospitality,
music cafes, leisure venues, upscale lobbies, and
other background/foreground music
and
paging
applications. The
IP-54
outdoor
capability also makes
it
suitable for applications where an
outdoor
capable
speaker
is
required.
The well-damped woofer incorporates a
CMMD
ceramic metal matrix diaphragm for a very high
stiffness-to-weight ratio, high output, resistance to
humidity and long-term durability. The dual tweeters
feature aluminum diaphragms with a
CMMD
treat,
polyurethane surround, a neodymium magnet, and
fluid-cooling for high output, low distortion and
humidity resistance.
The system
is
capable
of
handling
100
Watts,
and
is
equipped
with a
60W
70V
/ 100V
multi-
tap transformer.
Connection
is
made via a 4-pin
phoenix-type removable locking connector which
also includes loop-thru terminals for connecting
in
parallel to another speaker.
A heavy-duty weather-capable zinc-rich, thick
powder
coated U-bracket
is
included. The
speaker
must be installed
on
its
U-bracket for
proper
spacing
to the wall. Do not mount the
speaker
directly
in
the
corner
of
a room
or
onto a pole.
It
requires a wall
surface
in
order to work properly.
Outdoor
capability
is
enhanced by the painted
