HARMAN Professional Solutions has announced the launch of two new JBL Professional COL slim column loudspeakers, the COL600 (24-inch 600 mm) and COL800 (32-inch 800 mm), that are designed for applications that include conference and meeting rooms, lecture halls, retail stores, concourses, transit spaces, fill applications and more, and they’re on display at booth 4443 at the InfoComm 2023 show at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.
Offering wide horizontal and narrow vertical coverage with a built-in 10-degree down-tilt to the aim, both COL Series models are designed to deliver coverage for most listening areas while allowing the loudspeaker to be installed flat to the wall. Multi-tap transformers allow for use on either 70 or 100-volt distributed lines, while the loudspeaker is switchable for direct 8-ohm operation.
Available in black or white, installation is accommodated by two included L-brackets, which can be installed on either the top or bottom panels. They can be installed indoors or outdoors and carry an IP54 rating (per IEC60529) for protection against ingress of dust and 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,” says Rick Kamlet, HARMAN Professional Solutions senion 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.”
