JBL CBT 50LA-1-WH Constant Beamwidth Technology Line Array Column Loudspeaker, White

The CBT 50LA-1, with Constant Beamwidth Technology, represents a breakthrough in pattern control, utilizing analog delay beam-forming and amplitude tapering to accomplish consistent vertical coverage without the narrow vertical beaming and out-of-coverage lobing that are typical of straight form-factor passive column speakers.

Key Features

• Patent-pending Constant Beamwidth Technology provides constant directivity up to the highest frequencies and reduces out-of-coverage lobing.
• Switchable voicing provides flat response in music mode or mid-range presence peak in speech mode.
• Dynamic SonicGuard overload protection
• Built-in 70V/100V transformer, plus 8 ohm direct capability.
• Swivel (pan) / tilt wall bracket included.
