JBL Ceiling Speaker
The JBL ceiling speaker is quite popular. This brand is less famous than the moguls like Yamaha and Pioneer, and more expensive than the cheaper leaders like Pyle and Bogen. However, they have their niche (commercial speakers), and their products have good quality and a fair price. The ceiling speakers by JBL come in a wide range of models.
Their cheapest product is the tiny 4 inch JBL 8124. The price of this unit varies from $25 to $54. It’s a full-range loudspeaker that is typically used for commercial applications. It’s quite easy to install (blind mount installation). Its drivers are very sensitive, delivering maximum sound levels at the minimal amplifier power. Its grill has a contemporary design. It has a 60 Hz – 18 kHz frequency range. It has a 130° conical coverage. It is 8.1 inches in diameter and 3.5 inches in depth. It weighs only 2.5lb.
Another popular model is a larger 8 inch JBL 8128. This JBL ceiling speaker varies in its price from $35 to $70. It is a full-range loudspeaker for commercial applications. It is easy to install (blind mount installation). Its sensitive drivers deliver maximum sound levels at the minimal amplifier power. Its grill has an elegant design. It has a 50 Hz – 16 kHz frequency range. It has a 90° conical coverage. It is 11.3 inches in diameter and 4.1 inches in depth. Its weight is 3lb.
There are many other JBL models. One aspect worth a note is that many JBL models (such as the 8100 series) are sold by 4 (multiply the price that you see by 4). If you need fewer speakers, you may want to consider another manufacturer.
