JBL CBT 100LA-1 100CM Tall Line Array Column Speaker, Black
The JBL CBT 100LA-1 is a compact yet powerful line array column speaker engineered to deliver consistent, controlled acoustic coverage in both studio monitoring applications and portable recording setups. Its vertically-oriented design ensures intelligible dialogue capture and clear instrument imaging across medium to long-throw distances, making it an efficient monitoring solution for control rooms, isolation booths, and location recording environments where space and weight are practical considerations.
Coverage & Directivity Control for Accurate Monitoring
Switchable vertical pattern coverage offers 40° for medium-throw monitoring or 15° for long-throw setups, allowing precise acoustic control to isolate your recording space from reflections and phase issues. The built-in voicing switch provides a flat response optimized for balanced music monitoring or a presence peak tuned for critical vocal and dialogue recording, adapting the speaker’s character to your session content.
Power & Connectivity Options for Studio Integration
The 325W power rating combined with a built-in 70V/100V transformer (with selectable taps at 100W, 50W, 30W, and 15W at 70V) enables flexible integration into networked studio monitoring systems, while direct 8-ohm connectivity supports traditional amplifier wiring in compact setups. A swivel/tilt wall-mount bracket and eighteen M6 inserts on the back panel simplify rigging and positioning for both fixed control room installations and mobile recording rigs.
