JBL Cbt 50LA-1-WH 50CM Tall Line Array Column Speaker, Wht

JBL CBT 50LA-1-WH 50cm Tall Line Array Column Speaker

The JBL CBT 50LA-1-WH is a compact line array column speaker engineered for consistent, intelligible coverage across medium to large venues. Its vertical 20° pattern and 150° horizontal dispersion deliver uniform sound distribution without the acoustic dead zones typical of point-source designs. Built to withstand outdoor and humid environments, this white-finished unit combines professional durability with straightforward rigging via its included swivel/tilt wall bracket.

Audio Performance & Coverage

Eight 50mm full-range drivers with dual neodymium magnets produce clean output across an 80 Hz–20 kHz frequency range. The speaker achieves 115 dB continuous SPL in speech mode (121 dB peak) and 111 dB in music mode (117 dB peak), with 93 dB sensitivity in speech mode and 89 dB in music mode—sufficient for distributed installations and background playback in commercial spaces. The controlled vertical and horizontal radiation patterns minimize reflections and ensure consistent intelligibility throughout the coverage area.

Design & Environmental Durability

The compact 528 × 99 × 153 mm form factor mounts efficiently on walls or rigging systems without imposing bulk. UV, moisture, and 200-hour ASTM G85 acid-air/salt-spray resistance qualify this speaker for outdoor installation, while the Dynamic SonicGuard™ overload protection safeguards components against transient peaks and thermal stress in continuous-use applications.
