COL800

COL800 Slim Column Loudspeaker

The JBL COL800 is an elegant 32-inch (800 mm) slim column loudspeaker that provides wide horizontal and narrow vertical coverage, with a built-in 10° down-tilt to the aim, providing optimum coverage of most listening areas while allowing the speaker to be installed flat to the wall. The slim, compact design—winner of international design awards for industrial design excellence—complements virtually any architectural décor.
