JBL SCS 8

The SCS 8 Spatially Cued Cinema Surround is a full-range loudspeaker optimized for multi-channel surround formats and is designed for overhead or standard wall installations.

The SCS 8 is comprised of a high-power coaxial 200 mm (8 in) low frequency driver and 25 mm (1 in) high frequency compression driver. The coaxial design utilizes a unique tapered pole-piece design and transitions to the cone of the low frequency driver as a large diameter pattern control horn for the high frequencies, both eliminating high-frequency beaming and extending pattern control to the lowest possible frequencies. The result is a coaxial speaker with wide, extremely consistent 120° broadband coverage.

Component features include a Kevlar-reinforced low-frequency cone for reliability, well-damped surround edge for smooth frequency response, high-temperature 50 mm (2 in) voice coil and reduced distortion through saturated-gap magnet geometry. The high-frequency compression driver features a unique patented design, high-temperature polymer diaphragm and fluid cooling for high output levels with low distortion.

The enclosure is constructed of thick ABS and fiberglass and is heavily braced to maximize low-frequency performance. A heavy-duty U-type mounting bracket is included.

• Easy mounting system and ideal coverage allows for the SCS 8 to be the perfect loudspeaker for ceiling surround applications in immersive systems.
• 250-watt power handling (2-hour AES, average continuous pink noise) and high sensitivity provide high SPL capability.
• Consistent 120° x 120° broadband pattern coverage.
• Extraordinarily clear cinema surround with extended frequency response for special effects.
• Components:
• 200 mm (8 in) woofer with Kevlar-reinforced cone and 50 mm (2 in) voice coil.
• 25 mm (1 in) exit compression driver with unique patented design and high-temperature polymer diaphragm.
• 70 Hz – 20 kHz frequency response.
• Coaxial 2-way design with high-power passive crossover network.
