JBL COL800 – Slim Column Loudspeaker with Wide Coverage and IP54 Rating

The JBL COL800 is a slim, 32-inch column loudspeaker designed for premium performance in spaces where aesthetics, coverage, and versatility matter. Combining award-winning industrial design with JBL’s renowned audio engineering, the COL800 delivers crisp, clear sound while maintaining a sleek, unobtrusive profile that complements any architectural environment. Ideal for conference rooms, lecture halls, retail stores, transit areas, and other commercial spaces, this column loudspeaker provides wide horizontal coverage with narrow vertical focus, ensuring that sound is evenly distributed to the audience while minimizing reflections and interference.

Featuring four 5-inch x 2.25-inch racetrack woofers and two 0.8-inch tweeters positioned near the top of the array, the COL800 offers unobstructed coverage for speech and music. The built-in 10° down-tilt angle further optimizes coverage without requiring manual angling of the cabinet, while additional included low-profile swivel and L-brackets allow precise mounting for horizontal pan or vertical tilt adjustments. The shallow 3.7-inch (93 mm) depth of the cabinet meets ADA compliance requirements when installed flush to the wall.

Power handling is versatile and robust, with 150W continuous pink noise (600W peak) and selectable 8Ω direct input or 70V/100V transformer operation via a 60W multi-tap transformer. The frequency response of 85 Hz – 20 kHz ensures accurate reproduction of music and speech, while the 160° horizontal and 60° vertical coverage pattern delivers even sound distribution. With IP54 ingress protection, water-treated drivers, and a rugged, powder-coated grille, the COL800 is engineered for durability and reliability in demanding environments. Available in black or white, the COL800 combines performance, style, and flexibility for any professional installation.
