## Overview

The JBL Professional CSS8008 is a high-sensitivity 8-inch ceiling speaker designed for commercial paging and background music. Featuring a 5-watt multi-tap transformer compatible with 100V, 70V, and 25V distributed lines, it delivers crisp, powerful audio at 96 dB sensitivity and 15 watts continuous power. Its pre-assembled design and paintable grille ensure quick installation and seamless aesthetic integration, making it the go-to choice for offices, retail, and educational spaces seeking premium sound with professional reliability.

## Description

Introducing the JBL Commercial Series Ceiling Speakers, a go-to solution for excellent performance in paging and background music applications. Designed with very high 96 dB sensitivity, these 8-inch speakers ensure maximum sound levels even at low tap settings, making them perfect for retail stores, restaurants, schools, and other facilities. The CSS8008 model also offers superior bass extension compared to its counterparts. Equipped with a 5-Watt multi-tap transformer, these speakers deliver top-notch audio quality and reliability. The JBL Professional CSS8008 ceiling speakers feature a 1-inch diameter voice coil with a Kapton coil-former and high-temperature wire, ensuring better power dissipation and long-term durability. For added convenience, the speaker grille and transformer come pre-attached to the driver, making installation a breeze. The grilles are crafted from painted (and paintable for color-match), zinc-plated, cold-rolled steel, providing both durability and an unobtrusive appearance. With a standard 11¼ inch bolt mounting diameter, these speakers fit seamlessly into existing systems. Frequency Range (-10 dB): Driver/Grille Assembly: 55 Hz – 16 kHz. Optional CSS-BB8 back cans are an excellent addition. Made from zinc-plated steel with a powder-coated finish, these back cans can be installed, wired, and inspected prior to the speaker installation, ensuring a hassle-free setup. When installed in the CSS-BB8 back-can, the frequency range of these speakers is 100 Hz – 16 kHz, providing clear and consistent audio performance. Whether you're setting up a new commercial space or upgrading your current system, the JBL Professional CSS8008 ceiling speakers are an ideal choice. Their high sensitivity, robust construction, and easy installation make them a reliable and efficient solution for any commercial audio application. Sold individually (not a pair).

Review: Nicest office Speakers I've Heard - For an office speaker, these are bomb. Crisp clean sound and appearance. We have an office space that's 1200 sq' and three of these were plenty enough to cover the entire space in sound.
Review: Excellent bang for buck - I have years of experience with distributed/70V audio under my belt, and I've used all the major hitters in the industry: Atlas/Soundolier, Lowell, Quam, Bogen, and so forth. For $30, you get a grille and speaker package that sounds better (in some cases, drastically better) than any of the entry-level or industry-standard packages offered by the other brands. On the commonly accepted standard 1W tap (using the blue and black wires; black to common and blue to hot), this speaker delivers crisp highs and decent bass response that should be more than sufficient for any background music or paging application. As for the reviews that mention you don't get tile rails or a backcan with this speaker, I can only assume they're not all that familiar with 70V systems and don't realize these accessories are sold separately no matter whose grille/speaker package you buy—but you really should buy this one. You're not going to find anything better in this price range. If you want better bass response and a slightly less crispy/more balanced high end and you can spend a bit more per speaker, step up to the CSS8018. If budget is an issue, you'll be perfectly satisfied with the CSS8008.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: if I have 8 of these for a conference room, do I wire them parallel?  Also, these show as having 5w transformers, does that mean Id need min 40w amp?**
A: Yes and no...
Your amplifier has to be capable of 25v or 70v output, and you just wire them from one to the other, and so on...this is NOT a 4-Ohm/8-Ohm setup with these speakers, you treat them like parallel lighting

I wouldn’t put a 40w amp on 8 5w speakers, I’d use at least a 50w or more

**Q: are there ceiling tile speakers  with volume control**
A: Yes...perhaps as many as there are without volume controls...you could also add the control to any ceiling speaker lacking one. The control is called an L-Pad, which is basically a potentiometer...I checked options and costs online and they can run from $5.00 to $15.00 each.

**Q: Can be connected as two bare wires to the Amplifire?**
A: Yes

**Q: Do you need the baffle to install this in a ceiling?**
A: My answer would be that it depends on the material that it is hanging from. Whenever this type of speaker is installed on a drop ceiling, you should always install an appropriate metal support frame to prevent the weight of the speaker to cause the ceiling tile to collapse, potentially injuring occupants. If ceiling tiles are exposed to a small water leak they will collapse quickly. If you're going to mount it in a drywall, make sure to use toggle bolts. Any ceiling-mounted speaker should have a back-up cable type of support system in the event that the structure it is mounted to collapses. I have seen situations where water leaks have caused a collapse of a ceiling, and the energizing of wet floor surfaces with 70 volts.
