JBL CSS8008 Reviews

Great Product

The JBL page speaker has worked great for our paging need here in the Hospitals. I have purchased hundreds of these without failure and the quality was consistent.

Low price, High sound

For the price range, these put out sound. The freq. range is a little small, but they sound good for paging and light music. I've heard worse speakers that cost more. Installation is pretty easy. The colored tap wires make selection fool-proof.
