Aimed at retail spaces, hotels, casinos, convention centers, exhibit and museum spaces, atriums, public transit locations, or any space with high ceilings and an open architectural style, the black Control 68HP from JBL is a dependable and very-high output pendant speaker with a coaxial two-way configuration, sporting an 8" composite-reinforced cone woofer and a 1" titanium dome compression driver for extremely potent sound. With a wide, consistent coverage of 110° and an innovative single-point suspension system that uses two galvanized steel cables for secure hanging and easy height adjustment, you can achieve an optimal sound in even the most reverberant and challenging of acoustical spaces.

The Control 68HP can handle plenty of power, with support for up to a peak power input of 1000W, and sports a 68W multitap transformer for supporting 70 or 100V distribution modes as well as direct 8-ohm operation. The IP44 weather rating ensures safe use in controlled outdoor environments where excessive moisture, dirt, and salt may damage lesser speakers. The suspension system is exceptionally reliable, and this speaker includes two 15' steel cables (one for the primary support and one for the safety backup), spring clips and Gripple-brand adjustable height cable fasteners for attaching to the speaker bracket, and two 2-pin Euroblock connectors, along with two rubber connector boots for covered exterior environments.

Potent Sound Reproduction

The system's 8" low-frequency driver features a polyamide composite-reinforced cone and a large 2" CCAW voice coil on a fiberglass voice coil former for high power and improved long-term reliability. The coaxially mounted 1" compression driver features a titanium dome with damped resonance and a Kapton voice coil former for enhanced long-term sound level capability combined with high-fidelity sound quality.

Ideal Coverage for Public Spaces

Control 68HP provides extremely consistent 110° constant directivity conical coverage. The coaxial driver's pole piece is internally milled to form a low-distortion throat while the cone forms the bell of a conically contoured constant directivity horn, resulting in extremely consistent sound character throughout the entire listening area.

Secure Mounting
The Control 68HP includes a single-point mounting system for easy and secure suspension in open-ceiling applications. Two complete hanging cable systems are included, providing both main and safety suspension cables.

 

Included are extra-long 15' high-tensile galvanized steel wire rope having spring clips for the loudspeaker end of the cable and UL listed cable fasteners for infinitely adjustable suspension height.

Nice divider, serves it's purpose well!
Size: 3 Panel 12FT W
This room divider worked out very well for what I needed. I wanted a simple way to create a little more privacy and separation in a larger room without doing anything permanent, and this divider was an easy solution. The panels provide good coverage, and the black color gives it a clean, modern appearance that blends in nicely with different décor styles. Assembly was fairly straightforward, and once set up, the wider feet helped keep the divider stable on the floor. I was especially happy with how flexible the panels are to arrange. You can keep it mostly straight, angle it around furniture, or create a more enclosed private space depending on the layout you need. The material allows light to filter through slightly while still offering a noticeable sense of privacy. I’ve used it for separating a workspace area, but it would also work well in bedrooms, apartments, dorms, studios, or shared living spaces. Another plus is that it can be folded and moved without too much effort when you want to change the setup. Overall, this divider delivers a good balance of functionality, portability, and appearance. It’s a practical option for anyone needing temporary room separation without installing permanent walls or curtains.

Perfect for Adding Privacy to a Piano Studio
Size: 2 Panel 8FT W, Size: 2 Panel 8FT W
I Ordered the 2 Panel version which is way too big for my needs... that's on me. So keep in mind that the picture shows a fabric made for two panels only being used on one and hence it is not pulled tight; it would pull tight and not be so wrinkly if it was set up properly as two panels. The metal pools that make up the panels seem to be well made, stable, and of good quality. They were very easy to put together and they stand up tall with plenty of height. The appearance of it with the fabric on it isn't as elegant as it could be, but it still looks good enough. The material is plenty solid, not allowing light through it, and thereby making a solid barrier. I am using it to block the view out the studio door when a student is sitting at the piano to avoid distractions from the hallway. It will allow a student to enter the studio with our distracting the student who is at the piano.

Room Divider That Gives Instant “This Is a Separate Space Now” Energy
Size: 3 Panel 12FT W
The Siebwin 3 Panel Folding Privacy Screen is surprisingly effective at changing the feel of a room without requiring construction, commitment, or somebody yelling about load bearing walls. The 12 foot width gives a substantial amount of coverage, making it useful for creating privacy, dividing open areas, blocking visual clutter, or setting up temporary sections within larger rooms. This saved us a ton of time and money in our new studio and enabled us to create a kitchen and office in one room. The wider feet make a huge difference because flimsy room dividers that collapse every time someone exhales too aggressively are deeply annoying. This one feels more stable and grounded once positioned. The folding design makes it easy to move around or adjust depending on the space, and it folds down relatively compactly when not in use. It is basically the introvert curtain wall of dreams. The material has a clean, neutral look that blends well into different room styles without screaming “temporary office cubicle panic.” It works well for apartments, studios, shared spaces, dressing areas, or simply hiding the mountain of chaos you swear you are going to organize tomorrow. Practical, portable, and refreshingly easy to use without turning setup into a three hour emotional event.

It's 2 panels holding 1 big privacy screen. Can't use as 2 separate 4' panels, but works great.
Size: 2 Panel 8FT W
This 2 panel privacy screen works well. Assembly was very straight forward, with easily labeled tubes. My son and I had it together in about 10 minutes, which was probably 3 minutes of me telling him to quit playing around and hand me the parts. It feels very sturdy, not likely to fall over or anything. The material fits well, with the Velcro being very strong. Measurements are all very accurate, with all pieces attaching properly. We have a similar privacy screen at work that we have to try and stretch out because the top and bottom Velcro doesn't fit quite right... this model does not have any issues though. The material is thin and light weight, but solid black so that you can't see anything through or behind it. I definitely think it's a great deal for the money. What I think would have given it 5 stars though, is if you had 2 totally separate 4' panels instead of 2 panels with one big screen. It really wouldn't cost any extra to make it so that the screen was in 2 pieces and you could use it as 2 separate panels instead of having to use it as one big panel. It says 2 panel folding privacy screens, but it's really one big one that folds in the middle.
