The new JBL-LCT 81C/TM is a full-range ceiling loudspeaker designed to lay into a 600mm x 600mm metric suspended grid ceiling, with no cutting of ceiling tiles required. The low profile depth of 103mm (4.1-inch) allows the loudspeaker to be used in locations where deeper loudspeakers cannot be accommodated.
The loudspeaker is designed to provide high performance for voice reinforcement and light-to-medium music in a wide variety of applications, including education classrooms, business music systems, retail stores, music/paging systems, airports, reception/waiting rooms, lounges, courtrooms and meeting rooms. Its very high sensitivity provides maximum sound level, even at low tap settings.
The JBL-LCT 81C/TM uses a 200mm (8-inch) dual-cone driver with a very high 96dB sensitivity. The driver features a 25mm (1-inch) diameter voice coil with a Kapton coil-former and high-temperature wire for better power dissipation and long-term reliability. The loudspeaker’s built-in 10W transformer provides versatility by allowing use on 100V or 70V distributed loudspeaker lines, as well as at 8Ω (low impedance) for driving directly from a low impedance power amplifier. Adjustment is via a rotary switch on the side of the rear enclosure. Two safety seismic attachment tabs are provided for securing to ceiling deck, plus four holes are provided – one in each corner. The colour of the perforated grille is white.
