About the JBL C67HC/T Narrow 75° Coverage High Ceiling Pendant Speaker
The JBL C67HC/T is a specialized high-ceiling pendant loudspeaker engineered to deliver focused, high-intelligibility audio coverage in voluminous commercial and industrial spaces with ceiling heights typically ranging from 20 to 70 feet. This model is designed to overcome the significant acoustic challenges posed by such environments, including excessive reverberation, long throw distances, and ambient noise. Its defining characteristic is a purpose-built, narrow 75-degree conical coverage pattern that concentrates sound energy downward toward the floor area, minimizing wasteful dispersion onto distant walls and hard reflective surfaces that degrade speech clarity. This focused approach is critical for ensuring announcements and background music remain clear and comprehensible in large atriums, warehouses, transportation hubs, sports facilities, and manufacturing plants.
The speaker incorporates a high-efficiency, weather-resistant coaxial transducer system, housed within a durable, spun-aluminum enclosure designed for suspension from structural elements. The coaxial design, with a high-frequency driver mounted concentrically within the woofer, ensures precise phase coherence and uniform frequency response across its controlled dispersion pattern. This results in consistent tonal quality and superior speech intelligibility throughout the defined coverage area below the speaker. The integrated multi-tap transformer provides seamless compatibility with standard 70.7V/100V constant-voltage amplification systems, allowing installers to select the precise power tap to achieve the necessary sound pressure level at the listening plane, given the considerable throw distance.
Installation is facilitated by a comprehensive pendant mounting kit that includes aircraft cable, a strain relief collar, and a conduit hub for secure, professional suspension and weather-protected cable entry. The enclosure is finished with a corrosion-resistant, powder-coated paint suitable for both indoor and semi-sheltered outdoor applications. By combining a narrow, controlled dispersion pattern with high output capability and robust outdoor-rated construction, the JBL C67HC/T provides a reliable and effective audio solution for challenging high-ceiling environments where achieving clear, direct sound coverage is paramount for both communication and safety.
