The CBT Series (Constant Beamwidth Technology) are two-way line array column loudspeakers that are designed for venues that would typically use larger point-and-shoot speakers.

The CBT Series is especially beneficial in venues with tricky acoustics or buildings that require discreet sound reinforcement, such as historical sites. The CBT beamforming and amplitude tapering technology allows for an even coverage of sound from the front to the back of the venue, effectively reducing the volume needed by a conventional loudspeaker to cover the same area.

CBT-100LA Constant Beamwidth Technology™ Line Array Column Loudspeaker with Sixteen 50 mm (2 in) Drivers. With improved mounting bracket for enhanced aiming flexibility.

The CBT 100LA-1, with Constant Beamwidth Technology™, represents a breakthrough in pattern control consistency, utilising complex analogue delay beam-forming and amplitude tapering to accomplish superior, consistent vertical coverage without the narrow vertical beaming and out-of-coverage lobing that are typical of straight form-factor column speakers.
Features
Patent-pending Constant Beamwidth Technology™ provides constant directivity up to the highest frequencies and reduces out-of-coverage lobing.
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.
