LAY-IN CEILING TILE SPEAKER, 8" DRIVER, FOR US-SIZE SUSPENDED GRID CEILINGS, 70V & 8OHM SETTINGS

The JBL LCT 81C/T is a lay-in ceiling tile speaker designed for seamless integration into standard 2’x2’ or 2’x4’ drop ceilings, making it an ideal solution for commercial audio installations in offices, retail spaces, conference rooms, and educational facilities. Featuring an 8-inch full-range driver, the LCT 81C/T delivers clear, even sound coverage with low distortion and excellent speech intelligibility. The 70V/100V multi-tap transformer allows for flexible distributed audio configurations, while the tool-free installation ensures quick and easy setup. With a lightweight, durable design, the JBL LCT 81C/T provides professional-grade audio performance with a sleek, low-profile appearance.

This loudspeaker is designed to provide excellent performance for paging 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, meeting rooms, and more.

The very high sensitivity of 96 dB provides maximum sound level, even at low tap settings. LCT 81C/T contains a 200 mm (8 in) dual-cone driver with a very high 96 dB sensitivity. The driver features a 25 mm (1 in) diameter voice coil with a Kapton coil-former and high-temperature wire for better power dissipation and long-term reliability. The speaker's built-in 10 Watt transformer provides versatility by allowing use on 100V or 70V distributed loudspeaker lines, as well as at 8 ohms (low impedance) for driving directly from a low impedance power amplifier. Adjusting is convenient via a rotary switch on the side of the rear enclosure. Two safety seismic attachment tabs are provided for securing to ceiling deck, plus 4 holes are provided -- one in each corner. The color of the perforated grille is white.
