JBL CBT1000 Two-Way Line Array Column Loudspeaker with Constant Beamwidth (Each)

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

CBT1000 Two-Way Line Array Column Loudspeaker

The black CBT1000 Two-Way Line Array Column Loudspeaker from JBL combines Constant Beamwidth Technology with adjustable vertical coverage and a tapered horizontal waveguide to increase the versatility of aiming the coverage of the loudspeaker to more accurately map to the room geometry in a wide variety of listening spaces. Utilizing complex analog beamforming, the speaker provides consistent vertical coverage without the narrow vertical beaming and out-of-coverage lobing.

The low-frequency drivers feature lightweight neodymium motors with 2" diameter voice coils. The structure is magnetically shielded, and the drivers have a copper cap on the pole to minimize flux modulation and linearize inductance, resulting in lower distortion and improved frequency response. The 0.63"-long coil provides high linear drive and high power handling in a compact driver. The LF drivers feature damped blended textile surrounds and coated sealed paper cones found in high-performance, large-format drivers. The high-frequency drivers include a neodymium structure for maximum sensitivity and feature high power handling, long excursion, and large back enclosures for additional frequency range and output. The tweeter is encased for weather resistance. Both drivers feature coated diaphragm materials to provide moisture, UV, and salt resistance for outdoor capabilities.

Features

• Asymmetrical vertical coverage sends more sound toward the far area of the room to make front-to-back sound levels more consistent.
• Components: Twenty-four (24) 25 mm (1 in) extra-high-power soft dome tweeters and six (6) 165 mm (6-1/2 in) high-excursion LF drivers arranged coaxially.
• Constant Beamwidth Technology™ provides constant directivity up to the highest frequencies and reduces out-of-coverage lobing.
• Vertical pattern coverage is individually adjustable through a range of four (4) “Pattern Up” angles and four (4) “Pattern Down” coverage angles for a total of sixteen (16) different coverage combinations, all without the use of external DSP processing.
• Patent-pending The tapered horizontal waveguide provides a continuously varying horizontal dispersion (very wide for short-throw, narrower for long-throw), delivering superior coverage in both the front and rear corners of a room.
• Single-speaker room coverage at high SPL, with little oversplash and strong bass response down to below 40 Hz.
• Switchable voicing provides flat response in music mode or mid-range presence peak in speech mode.
• Swivel (pan)/tilt wall bracket included.
