The JBL CBT 200LA-1 assembly consists of a top and a bottom loudspeaker module that, when bolted together end-to-end during installation, form a 32-driver array that is 200 cm (6.6 feet) tall. The height provides excellent pattern control over a wide bandwidth and superb throw capability. The combination of sound quality, pattern control, and compact design makes CBT 200LA-1 ideal for a wide variety of venues, including highly reverberant facilities and those requiring especially long throw or pattern control down to very low frequencies. Venue types include transit centers, conference centers, cathedrals, multipurpose spaces, gymnasiums, and theme parks, among many others. The slim, compact design fits well into virtually any architectural decor.
The CBT 200LA-1 allows the vertical coverage to be switched independently for each of the loudspeaker modules (top and bottom). This allows the system to be set for symmetrically narrow (15 degree) coverage, symmetrical broad (30 degree) coverage, or for asymmetrical progressive-gradient coverage (narrow top module and broad bottom module), which directs higher sound levels toward the far areas of the listening area, leveling out the SPL level differences from front-to-back within the listening space. The proportion of front-to-back differential can also be adjusted by externally lowering the drive level to the bottom loudspeaker module or setting to a lower tap when in 70V/100V operation.
This innovative coverage adjustment capability allows a single loudspeaker model to more precisely match the coverage requirements in an extremely wide variety of project types and to accomplish a consistency of coverage that few other loudspeakers can achieve. Horizontal coverage is very wide, at 150° in the mid-range.
