Compact Landscape Design

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.

Twist-Open Two-Part Enclosure

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 of the enclosure.

Weather-Tight Isolated Base Chamber

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 mounting the exterior gland nut, installed by drilling a 22 mm / 0.875 in / 7/8 in diameter hole in the chosen location.

Water-Tight Cable Sealing

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 an outside diameter between 4.0 and 9.0 mm / 0.16 and 0.35 in.

Stainless Steel Hardware & Grille

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.

High-Power Low-Frequency Driver

The 200 mm / 8 in diameter low-frequency driver features a Kapton former with a 38 mm / 1.5 in voice coil for high power handling and superior long-term reliability. The polypropylene cone and polyurethane surround provide high strength and superior moisture resistance.

Durable High-Frequency Driver with SonicGuard™

The 25 mm / 1 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 the SonicGuard™ protected HF driver ensures long-term reliability from occasional overdriving.

70V/100V Transformer & 8-Ohm Operation

The speaker contains a high-quality 60W multi-tap transformer for use on 70V or 100V distributed loudspeaker lines and is switchable for 8-ohm voice-coil direct operation. The speaker handles 120W Continuous Pink Noise, 240W Program, and 480W Peak in 8-ohm mode.
