Jbl Professional JBL-C418C/T-U 8 Inch In-ceiling Speaker

Product Description

The JBL PROFESSIONAL JBL-C418C/T-U is an 8-inch standard in-ceiling loudspeaker designed for permanent installation in commercial and residential audio distribution systems. It mounts flush into a standard ceiling cutout and delivers wide-coverage audio for background music, paging, and distributed sound applications. The unit ships individually and is suited for installation by licensed audio-visual contractors, low-voltage electricians, or experienced integrators working in 70-volt or direct-impedance distributed speaker systems.

This ceiling speaker is intended for in-ceiling installation in commercial spaces such as offices, retail environments, hospitality venues, and light commercial facilities, as well as residential multi-room audio systems. It fits into standard ceiling tile grids and drywall ceilings alike. Installers typically deploy this model in conjunction with a 70-volt distribution amplifier or a low-impedance zone amplifier, depending on system design requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage electrician or licensed audio-visual integrator in accordance with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring requirements. Power down the amplifier or distribution system before making any speaker wire connections. Cut the ceiling opening to the manufacturer-specified rough-in diameter before inserting the speaker basket, and verify that plenum-rated cable is used where required by local code. Do not exceed the speaker's rated wattage input from the connected amplifier or transformer tap.
