JBL Cbt 200LA-1 200CM Tall Line Array Column Speaker, Blk
Description
JBL CBT 200LA-1 200cm Tall Line Array Column Speaker, Black
The CBT 200LA-1 is a professional-grade line array column speaker engineered for consistent, controlled coverage across large indoor and outdoor venues. Standing 6.6 feet tall with a compact footprint, this system delivers articulate sound reinforcement without the visual bulk of traditional box arrays, making it an efficient choice for installations where sight lines and aesthetics matter.
Recording & Mix-Ready Coverage
Equipped with 32 full-range drivers in a precision-aligned array, the CBT 200LA-1 produces smooth, coherent sound across a frequency range of 130 Hz – 18 kHz (±3 dB), with extended reach down to 80 Hz at –10dB. The switchable 30° and 15° vertical coverage patterns allow you to control acoustic behavior in the room—tighten the pattern for isolation and reduced reflections, or open it for fill—adapting on the fly to session needs and room acoustics without unwanted spillover.
Durability & Studio Integration
The cabinet features a durable fiberglass-reinforced ABS construction with weather-treated drivers and stainless steel external hardware, designed to withstand both studio and live environments. Built-in 70V/100V transformers plus direct-wired capability integrate seamlessly into monitoring chains and hybrid setups, while IP-55 rated construction (with optional cover) protects against dust and moisture in demanding studio conditions.
