JBL Pro launches new COL Series slim column loudspeakers at InfoComm 2023

Harman Professional Solutions has launched two new JBL Pro Slim Column Loudspeakers – COL600 (24-inch 600 mm) and COL800 (32-inch 800 mm) – at InfoComm 2023. 

The new products are ideal for a variety of applications, including conference and meeting rooms, lecture halls, retail stores, concourses, transit spaces, fill applications and more.

Featuring wide horizontal and narrow vertical coverage with a built-in 10° down-tilt to the aim, both COL Series models are optimised to deliver optimum coverage for most listening areas while allowing the speaker to be installed flat to the wall.

Racetrack woofers provide maximum radiating area in a column form factor. Multi-tap transformers allow for use on either 70V or 100V distributed speaker lines, while the speaker is switchable for direct 8-ohm operation.

Available in black or white, versatile installation is accommodated by two included L-brackets, which can be installed on either the top or bottom panels.

These speakers can be installed indoors or outdoors and feature an IP54 rating (per IEC60529) for protection against ingress of dust or water. The drivers are water-treated, the grille has a water-backing, and a cover is included to protect the input terminals.

“We are extremely pleased to introduce these COL Series loudspeakers that solve so many installed audio needs and are ideal for completing our Control Contractor Series product family expansion,” said Rick Kamlet, Harman Professional Solutions senior manager, installed loudspeakers.

“They combine an incredible package of performance and aesthetics and deliver beautiful coverage both vertically and horizontally, we can’t wait to get them out supporting real-world market applications."
