Description
The JBL LCT 81C/TM is a low-profile lay-in ceiling loudspeaker specifically designed for 600 mm x 600 mm metric suspended grid ceilings, allowing fast and clean installation without cutting ceiling tiles. Equipped with a high-efficiency 8-inch dual-cone driver, integrated 70V/100V transformer, and 8Ω direct operation, it delivers clear voice reproduction and high-quality background music performance. Its shallow 103 mm depth enables installation in areas with limited ceiling space, while the high 96 dB sensitivity ensures excellent output even with low-powered amplifiers. Ideal for classrooms, offices, retail environments, airports, meeting rooms, lounges, and paging systems, the LCT 81C/TM combines installation flexibility, wide coverage, and reliable commercial-grade performance.
