JBL Professional COL600 - 600mm Slim Column Speaker with 160°×110° Coverage and −10° Native Tilt (White)
The JBL Professional COL600 is a sleek and discreet passive floorstanding speaker designed to blend seamlessly into modern architectural spaces without compromising performance. Its 2-way array combines two 125 x 55 mm "racetrack" woofers with a 25 mm tweeter positioned at the top of the column. The native -10° vertical axis tilt directs energy towards the audience even when the cabinet is mounted flat against a wall, preventing unwanted ceiling reflections. It offers very wide horizontal (160°) and focused vertical (110°) coverage, with a frequency response of 70 Hz to 20 kHz and a peak SPL of 111 dB , making it ideal for speech and background music in meeting rooms, classrooms, retail spaces, lobbies, and hallways.
The COL600 supports direct 8 Ω input and features a 20 W multi-socket transformer for 70/100 V networks, making it easy to use in distributed systems. Its slim design (only 93 mm deep) helps meet accessibility requirements when flush-mounted, and the IP54-rated construction—hydrophobic-backed grille, treated drivers, and terminal cover—ensures reliability against dust and splashes. L-brackets are supplied for close-to-wall mounting, along with a low-profile , swivel/tilt wall bracket for precise orientation adjustment. Finished in white.
