Applications:
e Control 85M Mushroom-Style Landscape Speaker is a two-way
highly weather resistant speaker providing 360 degree coverage of the
listening space. A highlighted mid-range presence cuts through in high
ambient environments for especially clear paging and voice content
while providing excellent full-range sound quality. Designed to be
mounted on or in the ground, the Control 85M 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. e enclosure color
extends throughout the material so the speaker will maintain color even
when scraped or scratched.
e two part enclosure is designed to open with a twist for wiring
and then close securely. e bottom base section of the enclosure
can be pre-installed and then wired to the top speaker section of the
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. e Control 85M 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.
e 135 mm (5.25 in) diameter low-frequency driver features a Kapton
former with 35.5 mm (1.4 in) voice coil for high power handling and
superior long term reliability. e polypropylene cone and polyurethane
surround provide high strength and superior moisture resistance. e
19 mm (0.75 in) high frequency driver utilizes a polyetherimide dome,
providing high rigidity, strength, and high temperature resistance. e
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 30 Watt multi-tap
transformer for use on 70V or 100V distributed loudspeaker lines, and
is switchable for 8 ohm voice-coil direct operation. e speaker handles
80 Watts Continuous Pink Noise (160W Program, 320W Peak) in the
8 ohm mode.
e Control 85M is UL certied, per UL1480.
