Cost-Effective In-Ceiling Audio for Commercial Applications

The JBL 8128 is a budget-friendly, 8-inch, full-range loudspeaker designed to deliver clear background music and paging announcements in commercial environments like restaurants, retail stores, offices, and waiting rooms. Here’s a closer look at what the JBL 8128 offers:

Clear Audio on a Budget:

• Full-Range Performance: The 8128 features a single 8-inch driver that reproduces a wide range of frequencies, providing clear and intelligible audio for background music and voice announcements.

• High Sensitivity (97 dB): Despite its affordability, the 8128 boasts high sensitivity, ensuring efficient use of amplifier power. This makes it ideal for larger spaces where multiple speakers are required.

• Open-Back Design: The open-back design allows for easier installation in ceilings with limited space behind the speaker. However, an optional back can be purchased for applications requiring improved sound isolation.

Designed for Easy Installation:

• Dog-Ear Mounting Brackets: The 8128 incorporates built-in dog-ear mounting brackets that simplify and expedite installation in standard drop ceilings. These brackets are particularly helpful for contractors working on large projects.

• Paintable Design: The white, paintable design of the 8128 allows it to blend seamlessly with most commercial environments. You can easily paint the speaker grille to match your ceiling for a more discreet look.

• 70V/100V Transformer Taps: The 8128 features a built-in transformer with selectable power taps (6W, 3W, 1.5W) for use in distributed speaker systems commonly used in commercial audio installations. This allows for connection to multi-channel amplifiers frequently used in such applications.
