The JBL COL800 is a premium 32-inch slim column loudspeaker engineered for superior coverage, architectural elegance, and optimal speech and music clarity in commercial spaces. Designed with a built-in 10° downward tilt, the COL800 projects sound with precision even when mounted completely flat to the wall. Its award-winning, minimalistic industrial design allows seamless integration into any interior décor, making it ideal for conference rooms, lecture halls, transit centers, retail stores, concourses, and fill applications.

Featuring four 5" × 2.25" racetrack woofers and dual 0.8" tweeters (top-mounted and downward-angled), the COL800 delivers wide 160° horizontal coverage and focused 60° vertical coverage, ensuring consistent intelligibility and clarity across large listening spaces. Its slim 3.7-inch depth meets ADA compliance when installed flush to the wall.

With a built-in 60W multi-tap transformer for 70V/100V systems, as well as a switchable 8Ω direct mode, the COL800 offers flexibility for distributed audio or high-power low-impedance installations. It handles 150W continuous (600W peak) in direct mode, providing robust output for demanding environments.

The COL800 includes both L-brackets and a swivel/tilt bracket, enabling precise aiming without bulky hardware. Its IP54-rated construction offers protection from dust, moisture, and environmental wear, making it suitable for dry outdoor or semi-exposed installations.
