Description
The JBL LCT 81C/T is a full-range ceiling speaker that lays into a 2 ft x 2 ft US-style suspended grid ceiling with no tile cutting. It suits paging and light-to-medium music in classrooms, shops, airports, waiting rooms, courtrooms and meeting rooms. It does not fit metric 600 x 600 mm ceiling systems. Sold in pairs; the price is for one speaker.
An 8-inch dual-cone driver with 96 dB sensitivity gives useful level even at low taps. The built-in 10-watt transformer runs on 70V or 100V lines or at 8 ohms, set by a rotary switch on the side of the enclosure, and the speaker is only 103 mm (4.1 in) deep.
