Features:
- Patent-pending Constant Beamwidth Technology™ provides constant directivity up to the highest frequencies and reduces out-of-coverage lobing.
- EN 54-24 Compliant for Life Safety Applications (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.
The CBT 100LA-LS, with Constant BeamwidthTechnology™, represents a breakthrough in pattern controlconsistency, utilizing complex analog delay beam-formingand amplitude tapering to accomplish superior, consistentvertical coverage without the narrow vertical beaming andout-of-coverage lobing that are typical of straight form-factorcolumn speakers.
The slim, compact design fits well into virtually anyarchitectural decor. The 100 cm (39.4 in) tall line array heightprovides consistent pattern control throughout the intelligibilityband, making the CBT 100LA-LS ideal for difficult acousticenvironments. The combination of superior sound quality,excellent pattern control, and compact design makes CBT 100LALS ideal for applications such as lecture halls, transit centers,conference rooms, cathedrals, multipurpose spaces, architecturalspaces, and in-wall recessed locations, among many others.
The innovative coverage adjustability allows switching betweenbroad and narrow vertical coverage settings to allow matchingthe coverage and throw requirements of the application. Coveragecan be easily switched in-venue with the speaker alreadyinstalled. This innovation allows a single loudspeaker model toexcel in an extremely wide variety of project types.
The voicing can be set to match the application through theMusic/Speech switch. The Music setting provides flat frequencyresponse, while the Speech setting produces a mid-range presenceboost to provide clear, intelligible speech even at the longestthrow distances.
The drivers feature dual neodymium magnets for light weight.Copper capped pole pieces lower both the driver inductanceand the flux modulation, resulting in increased high frequencyextension and reduced distortion at high drive levels. Butyl rubbersurrounds provide long life even in high humidity environments.The drivers are shielded.
Dynamic SonicGuard™ minimizes distortion at high drivelevels by limiting low frequency excursion dynamically. Thismaximizes clarity at high drive levels while protecting thedrivers from damage due to overpowering.
A swivel (pan)/tilt wall-mount bracket is included, pluseighteen M6 inserts on the back panel fit the spacing ofcommon third-party mounting brackets, or can be utilizedto suspend the speaker using forged shoulder steel eyebolts,providing installation versatility.
CBT 100LA-LS can be installed either indoors or outdoors.The drivers are weather-treated, the fiberglass reinforced ABScabinet is excellent for outdoor applications, external screwsare stainless steel screws, and the painted aluminum grilleresists rusting in the harshest conditions.
