About JBL LCT 81C/T

Experience the superior sound quality of the LCT 81C/T 2x2' 40W Low-Profile Lay-In Ceiling Tile Loudspeaker with 8" Driver. This full-range ceiling speaker is expertly designed to seamlessly integrate into a 2 x 2' US-style suspended grid ceiling, eliminating the need for cutting ceiling tiles and ensuring a clean, hassle-free installation.

With a low-profile depth of just 100mm (4"), this speaker is a perfect fit for spaces where deeper loudspeakers are not an option. It's an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, from education classrooms and business music systems to retail stores, airports, reception/waiting rooms, lounges, courtrooms, and meeting rooms.

The LCT 81C/T is engineered to deliver exceptional performance for both paging and light-to-medium music applications. Its high sensitivity of 96dB ensures maximum sound level, even at low tap settings, for a consistently clear and powerful audio experience.

At the heart of this loudspeaker is a 200mm (8") dual-cone driver with a high sensitivity of 96dB. The driver features a 25mm (1") diameter voice coil, equipped with a Kapton coil-former and high-temperature wire for enhanced power dissipation and long-term reliability.

The built-in 10 Watt transformer offers versatility, allowing use on 100V or 70V distributed loudspeaker lines, as well as at 8Ohms (low impedance) for direct driving from a low impedance power amplifier. Adjustments are made easy with a rotary switch located on the side of the rear enclosure.

For added safety, the LCT 81C/T includes two seismic attachment tabs for secure ceiling deck installation, and four holes, one in each corner. The speaker is completed with a white perforated grille, adding a sleek, modern touch to any setting. Experience the difference with the LCT 81C/T 2x2' 40W Low-Profile Lay-In Ceiling Tile Loudspeaker with 8" Driver.
