Jbl Professional HPD8138 8 Inch In-ceiling Speaker 70V

Product Description

The JBL PROFESSIONAL HPD8138 is an 8-inch in-ceiling speaker designed for 70-volt distributed audio systems. It mounts flush into standard ceiling grids or drywall ceilings and delivers consistent, intelligible audio coverage across commercial and light commercial spaces. The 70V transformer design allows multiple speakers to be wired on a single amplifier circuit without significant impedance loading issues, making it a practical choice for extended runs in larger facilities. Installation is handled by commercial AV integrators and licensed low-voltage contractors familiar with distributed audio architecture.

This speaker is suited for background music, paging, and voice intelligibility applications in retail spaces, restaurants, offices, schools, and similar venues. The 8-inch driver provides a wider frequency response and higher output compared to smaller ceiling speaker formats, making it appropriate for rooms with higher ambient noise floors or larger square footage. This product is sold as a 4-pack, allowing installers to fulfill multi-zone or multi-room requirements efficiently.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage AV technician or licensed contractor familiar with 70-volt distributed audio systems. De-energize the amplifier circuit fully before wiring or mounting any speaker. Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and consult the amplifier manufacturer for proper tap wattage settings to avoid overloading the circuit. Verify ceiling substrate and structural backing are adequate to support the speaker assembly before cutting the mounting opening.
