JBL’s Commercial Series Ceiling
Speakers provide excellent
performance for paging and
background music applications. High
sensitivity across the product line
provides maximum sound level, even
at low tap settings.

Model CSS8004 is a 100 mm (4 in)
speaker with 90 dB sensitivity and a
5-Watt multi-tap transformer.

Model CSS8008 is an 200 mm (8 in)
speaker with high 96 dB sensitivity,
greater bass extension than the
CSS8004, and a 5-Watt multi-tap
transformer.

Model CSS8018 is a higher-power
200 mm (8 in) speaker, with very high
97 dB sensitivity and a larger 10-Watt
multi-tap transformer.

The speaker’s pre-attached triple­voltage transformer provides versatility
by allowing use on 100V, 70V or 25V
distributed loudspeaker lines.

The drivers feature a full 25 mm
(1 in) diameter voice coil with a
Kapton coil-former and high­temperature wire for better power
dissipation and long-term reliability.
For installation convenience, the
speaker grille and transformer are pre­attached to the driver. Grilles are
painted, zinc-plated, cold-rolled steel.
The 200 mm (8 in) models feature a
standard 286 mm (11¼ in) bolt­mounting diameter. Matching CSS
backcans are made of zinc-plated steel
with powder-coated finish. CSS steel
pre-install backcans can be installed,
wired, and inspected prior to
installation of the speaker.

Use with Pre-Install-Type Backcans.
