Frequently asked questions
Can the 3739 be used as a standalone bass speaker?
No. The 3739 is a low-frequency section only and requires a separate mid/high-frequency section (sold separately) to function as a complete loudspeaker in a ScreenArray configuration. It is not designed for standalone use.
Is the CBT 100LA-LS-WH suitable for cinema applications?
The CBT 100LA-LS-WH is optimized for commercial AV, houses of worship, and life safety applications with speech-intelligibility focus. It is not engineered for cinema sound systems, which typically require the precision low-end and cinema-grade components like the 3739.
What is the frequency response difference between these products?
The CBT 100LA-LS-WH is a full-range column speaker designed for consistent speech and music coverage across medium-to-long throws. The 3739 is a bass-only cabinet tuned for 40 Hz–2 kHz and serves as one component of a larger cinema system; direct frequency comparison is not applicable since they serve different roles.
Which requires more professional installation?
The CBT 100LA-LS-WH includes integrated mounting hardware and switchable coverage modes for straightforward commercial installation. The 3739 is a component part requiring integration into a complete ScreenArray system by a professional cinema installer and is not a plug-and-play solution.
