JBL Commercial LCT 81C/T 2'x2' Lay-In Ceiling Tile Speaker with 8" Driver

The JBL LCT 81C/T is a purpose-built ceiling speaker designed for seamless integration into standard commercial ceiling grids without requiring any cutout work. Its compact 4.1-inch depth and drop-in installation make it ideal for offices, retail spaces, hospitality venues, and distributed audio systems where aesthetic integration matters as much as performance.

Audio Performance & Coverage

The 200 mm dual-cone driver paired with a 25 mm voice coil and Kapton coil former delivers 96 dB sensitivity, providing clear, consistent coverage across medium-sized spaces. The high-temperature voice coil wire ensures reliable operation in demanding commercial environments without thermal stress.

Installation & System Flexibility

Installation is straightforward—the speaker simply drops into standard ceiling grids with no modification required. The built-in 10 Watt transformer supports 100V or 70V distributed loudspeaker lines as well as 8 ohm low-impedance operation, allowing integration into virtually any commercial audio system architecture. Safety anchoring is handled by two rear baffle tabs and four corner suspension holes, with a rotary power switch on the rear enclosure for on-site configuration.
