Description:
The Control 26CT-LS is built on the same platform as
our popular Control 26C and 26CT ceiling loudspeakers
and is UL1480 UUMW listed for use in fire alarm and/or
emergency communication systems.
The Control 26CT-LS is a compact ceiling speaker
providing premium performance in background or
foreground music sound systems. The Control 26CT-LS
is perfectly suited for a wide variety of applications
from casinos and hotels to upscale restaurants and
themed locations. High power handling, wide frequency
response and low distortion make the Control 26CT-LS
ideal for sound systems requiring a higher fidelity sound
from ceiling loudspeakers. The premium performance
capability ensures excellent sound character, providing
pleasant, enveloping sound throughout the listening
area.
The computer-optimized enclosure delivers warm,
smooth bass response. Low frequency output can
be further augmented with the addition of one of the
Control Contractor subwoofer models.
The 165 mm (6.5 in) woofer features a polyurethane-
coated cone and pure butyl rubber surround for long
life, even in high humidity environments. An aluminum
voice coil former provides extra cooling for greater long-
term power handling.
The coaxially mounted 19 mm (¾ in) titanium-coated
tweeter provides crisp, clear highs. Diffraction-loading
of the tweeter provides wide, even coverage of the
listening area.
