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 triple-

voltage 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 high-

temperature wire for better power

dissipation and long-term reliability.

For installation convenience, the

speaker grille and transformer are pre-

attached to the driver. Grilles are

painted, zinc-plated, cold-rolled steel.

The 200 mm (8 in) models feature a

standard 286 mm (11¼ in) bolt-

mounting 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.
