The
Control
88M
Mushroom-Style Landscape Speaker
is
a two-way
highly weather resistant speaker providing 360 degree coverage
of
the
listening space. The extended bass capability and flat spectral response
provides exceptionally high fidelity sound quality for music
and
music/
speech program material. Designed
to
be
mounted
on
or
in the ground,
the
Control
88M
can be used in a wide variety
of
applications including
hotels, casinos,
pool
areas, shopping malls, theme parks, sports venues,
resorts, restaurants, hospitality and leisure venues, entranceways,
and
anywhere a high quality music
and/
or
paging speaker landscape speaker
is
required.
Its compact size allows the speaker
to
blend into landscaping
and
shrubbery, while its tough
hunter
green polyethylene enclosure resists
abuse from lawn care equipment and the elements. The enclosure color
extends throughout the material so the speaker will maintain color even
when scraped
or
scratched.
The two
part
enclosure
is
designed
to
open with a twist for wiring
and
then close securely. The
bottom
base section
of
the enclosure can be pre-
installed and then wired
to
the top speaker section
ofthe
enclosure.
When
assembled, the
bottom
base section becomes a fully isolated chamber,
keeping the speaker and transformer (in the speaker section) highly
isolated from the possibility
of
intruding moisture. Multiple locations
on
the
bottom
and
sides are provided for the mounting
of
the exterior
gland
nut
(installed by drilling a 22
mm
(0.875 in, 7
/8
in) diameter hole
in the chosen location),
and
a second gland
nut
is
positioned between
the
bottom
base and the top speaker sections,
to
keep the speaker system
highly weather tight. Included gland nuts maintain a water-tight seal
only when used with round-jacketed cable with outside diameter
between 4.0
and
9.0
mm
(0.16 and 0.35 inches).
All external hardware
is
stainless steel, and the powder-coated stainless
steel grille resists rusting. The
Control
88M
can be secured
to
the
ground via third-party ground stakes using the three attachment points
that
extend
out
from the
bottom
section
of
the speaker.
The 200
mm
(8.0 in) diameter low-frequency driver features a Kapton
former with 38
mm
(LS in) voice coil for high power handling
and
superior
longterm
reliability. The polypropylene cone and polyurethane
surround provide high strength
and
superior moisture resistance. The
25
mm
(1.0 in) high frequency driver utilizes a polyetherimide dome,
providing high rigidity, strength, and high temperature resistance. The
high slope crossover provides natural sonic character and SonicGuard~
protected
HF
driver ensures long-term reliability from occasional
overdriving.
In addition, the speaker contains a high-quality
60
Watt multi-tap
transformer for use
on
70V
or
IO0V distributed loudspeaker lines,
and
is
switchable for 8
ohm
voice-coil direct operation. The speaker
handles 120 Watts Continuous
Pink
Noise
(240W
Program,
480W
Peak) in the 8
ohm
mode.
The
Control
88M
is
UL
certified, per
ULI
480.
