JBL CBT 100LA-1 | Constant Beamwidth Technology Line Array Column Loudspeaker BLACK

The JBL CBT 100LA-1 Line Array Column Loudspeaker, finished in an elegant black, is an innovative marvel that leaves traditional column speakers behind. Utilizing breakthrough Constant Beamwidth Technology, this loudspeaker ensures superior and consistent vertical coverage by employing advanced analog delay beam-forming and amplitude tapering techniques. Unlike conventional column speakers, it eliminates narrow vertical beaming and out-of-coverage lobing, making it a top choice for both medium-throw and long-throw applications.

Perfect for both music and speech, the JBL CBT 100LA-1 comes with switchable voicing modes that offer a flat response for musical fidelity and a mid-range presence peak for clear speech reproduction. The built-in Dynamic SonicGuard provides robust overload protection, ensuring pristine audio integrity even in challenging settings. Additionally, its IP-54 rating against UV, moisture, and salt-spray makes it ideal for indoor and outdoor use. This high-performing loudspeaker is designed with professional audio solutions in mind, offering flexible installation with included swivel pan/tilt wall brackets and multiple insert points for versatile mounting options.
