JBL CWT128-WH 2x8" 2-Way Full-Range Speaker, Crossfire Waveguide (White)

Product Overview

The JBL CWT128-WH is the white-finish version of JBL's compact dual 8-inch, 2-way full-range loudspeaker built around Crossfired Waveguide Technology for extremely wide-angle coverage from a single enclosure. The waveguide provides seamless horizontal coverage across a full 160 degrees, letting one unit do the work of two side-by-side speakers in roughly a third of the footprint. The white finish blends into light architecture, making this wide-coverage install loudspeaker well suited to design-sensitive environments. Built-in M10 and M8 attachment points support flexible rigging and wall mounting.

Product Description

The CWT128-WH combines maximum bandwidth and SPL with an unusually wide dispersion pattern in a single system package. Its Crossfired Waveguide produces a 160-degree by 60-degree pattern, driven by dual 205 mm (8 in) low-frequency transducers and a dual 25 mm (1 in) exit, 38 mm (1.5 in) diaphragm compression driver. The compact cabinet occupies about a third of the footprint of two splayed speakers, making it well suited to lobbies, concourses, and other design-sensitive spaces. Installation is straightforward with four built-in M10 attachment points across the top and sides, plus four M8 points on the back panel that accept OmniMount wall-mounting brackets. WRC and WRX weather-resistant versions are available on request for exposed locations. Explore matching components in the JBL Professional installed audio collection. Finished in white; also available in black.
