JBL CBT 100LA-LS Line Array Column Loudspeaker, Black

The CBT 100LA-LS, with Constant Beamwidth Technology, represents a breakthrough in pattern control consistency, utilizing complex analog delay beam-forming and amplitude tapering to accomplish superior, consistent vertical coverage without the narrow vertical beaming and out-of-coverage lobing that are typical of straight form-factor column speakers.

Key Features

• Patent-pending Constant Beamwidth Technology provides constant directivity up to the highest frequencies and reduces out-of-coverage lobing.
• EN54-24 Compliant (when installed with included MTC-PC2 panel cover).
• Vertical pattern coverage switchable between 40° for medium-throw coverage and 15° for long-throw applications.
• Switchable voicing provides flat response in music mode or mid-range presence peak in speech mode.
• Dynamic SonicGuard overload protection
• Swivel (pan)/tilt wall bracket included.
• Built-in 70V/100V transformer, plus 8 ohm direct capability.
