Constant Beamwidth Technology™ Two-Way Line Array Column with Asymmetrical Vertical Cove

The CBT 70J-1, with Constant Beamwidth Technology™, represents a breakthrough in pattern control consistency, utilizing complex analog 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. The CBT 70J-1 combines Constant Beamwidth Technology with a physical J-shaped curving, resulting in a very well controlled progressive line array with asymmetrical vertical coverage. The asymmetrical coverage produces a higher concentration of sound with a tighter pattern from the upper half of the array and a lower concentration of sound with a broader vertical pattern from the lower half of the array. This sends more sound toward the far area of the room than to the near area of the room, resulting in more even front-to-back SPL levels than would be the case from a traditional speaker or column that projects symmetrically in the vertical plane. The two-way coaxial design provides a wide 60 Hz – 20 kHz bandwidth. The low-diffraction baffle eliminates frequency response irregularities that could otherwise occur due to baffle discontinuities. The thick, heavy-duty aluminum grille stands up to portable/event applications while allowing for rust-free installation outdoors. The slim, compact design fits well into virtually any architectural decor. The 70 cm (27.6 in) tall line array height provides consistent pattern control throughout the intelligibility band, making the CBT 70J-1 work well in difficult acoustic environments.

Sends more sound toward far area of room to make front-to-back sound levels more consistent
Provides constant directivity up to the highest frequencies and reduces out-of-coverage lobing
Switchable between 45° for medium-throw coverage and 25° for long-throw applications
Provides flat response in music mode or mid-range presence peak in speech mode
Maximizes clarity at high drive levels while protecting the drivers from damage due to overpowering
