Jbl Professional Cbt 1000 Passive Line Array Loudspeaker

Product Description

The JBL PROFESSIONAL CBT 1000 is a passive line array loudspeaker designed for professional sound reinforcement applications. It features adjustable coverage technology, allowing installers to tailor vertical dispersion to match the acoustic demands of the installation space. The CBT 1000 is a passive unit, meaning it requires an external amplifier, and is finished in black. It is sold as a single unit and is intended for installation by qualified audio-visual or low-voltage systems contractors familiar with line array deployment and signal routing.

The CBT 1000 is suited for installed sound applications in venues where controlled, even coverage is a priority. Typical environments include houses of worship, auditoriums, conference centers, and similar spaces requiring consistent audio distribution across a listening area. Its adjustable coverage design reduces the need for extensive acoustic treatment by directing sound precisely where it is needed, minimizing floor and ceiling reflections in challenging room geometries.

Key Features

• Adjustable vertical coverage pattern for flexible installation configurations
• Passive design compatible with a wide range of professional amplifiers

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified audio-visual or low-voltage contractor familiar with line array loudspeaker rigging and signal routing. Disconnect and de-energize the amplifier system before making or changing any speaker connections. Verify that the amplifier output impedance and power rating are matched appropriately to the CBT 1000 before commissioning. Follow all applicable local building and electrical codes governing suspended speaker installations and structural mounting hardware.
