CBT 50LA-1
50CM SPEAKER ARRAY COLUMN, 8X2” DRIVERS, CONSTANT BEAMWIDTH TECHNOLOGY, 60W 70V TRANS OR 8OHM, BLACK

The JBL Professional CBT 50LA-1 is a compact Constant Beamwidth Technology™ (CBT) line array column loudspeaker engineered for exceptional speech intelligibility and consistent coverage in acoustically challenging spaces. Featuring eight 2" high-frequency drivers and two 5" low-frequency drivers arranged in a vertical array, the CBT 50LA-1 delivers focused vertical coverage with broad horizontal dispersion. JBL’s proprietary CBT beam-shaping technology ensures even sound distribution from front to back of the listening area while minimizing unwanted ceiling and floor reflections.

With switchable voicing for music or speech applications, selectable coverage patterns, and the ability to combine multiple units for extended coverage, the CBT 50LA-1 is ideal for houses of worship, corporate presentation spaces, transportation terminals, lecture halls, hospitality venues, and retail environments. Its sleek, low-profile column design allows for discreet architectural integration while delivering professional-grade performance in both distributed and foreground sound reinforcement systems.
