Constant Beamwidth Technology™ Two-Way Line Array Column with Asymmetrical Vertical Coverage. With improved mounting bracket for enhanced aiming flexibility and stronger grille.
The CBT 70J-1, with Constant Beamwidth Technology™, represents a breakthrough in pattern control consistency, utilizing complex analog delay beam-forming and amplitude tapering to accomplish superior, consistent vertical coverage without the narrow vertical beaming and out-of-coverage lobing that are typical of straight form-factor column speakers. (shown with included grille removed)
Asymmetrical vertical coverage sends more
sound toward far area of room to make front-toback sound levels more consistent.
Components: Sixteen 25 mm (1 in) soft dome tweeters and four 125 mm (5 in) high-power LF drivers, arranged coaxially.
Patent-pending Constant Beamwidth Technology™ provides constant directivity up to the highest frequencies and reduces out-ofcoverage lobing.
Vertical pattern coverage switchable between 45° for medium-throw coverage and 25° for long-throw applications.
Switchable voicing provides flat response in music mode or mid-range presence peak in speech mode.
Dynamic SonicGuard™ overload protection of HF devices
Swivel (pan) / tilt wall bracket included
Applications
The combination of superior sound quality, excellent pattern control, asymmetrical vertical coverage and compact design makes CBT 70J-1 extremely versatile. It is ideal for applications such as performance auditoriums, lecture halls, classrooms, A/V, transit centers, school stadiums, multipurpose spaces, racetracks, theme parks, and fill applications, among many others.

Adjustable Coverage to Fit the Application
The innovative coverage adjustability allows switching between broad and narrow vertical coverage settings to allow matching the coverage and throw requirements of the application. Coverage can be easily switched in-venue with the speaker already installed. This innovation allows a single loudspeaker model to excel in an extremely wide variety of project types.
User Variable Voicing
The voicing can be set to match the application through a Music/Speech switch. The Music setting provides flat frequency response, while the Speech setting produces a mid-range presence boost to provide clear, intelligible speech even at the longest throw distances, along with increased midrange sensitivity for higher midrange maximum output capability.
Drivers
The low frequency drivers are lightweight dual magnet neodymium motors with 38 mm (1.5 in) diameter voice coils. The dual magnet system provides maximum flux in a compact package. The magnet structure is magnetically shielded and the pole tips are magnetically saturated for lower flux modulation and minimum distortion. The 16 mm (0.63 in) long coil provides high linear drive and high power handling in a compact driver. The LF drivers feature damped blended textile surrounds and coated sealed paper cones found in high performance large format drivers. The high frequency driver features a dual magnet neodymium structure for maximum sensitivity. The tweeter is encased for weather resistance. The drivers are magnetically shielded to allow close placement CRT monitors. Both drivers feature coated diaphragm materials to provide moisture, UV and salt resistance for outdoor capability.
SonicGuard™
Dynamic SonicGuard™ protection on the high frequency section minimizes distortion at high drive levels by limiting driver excursion dynamically. This maximizes music clarity and speech intelligibility at high drive levels while protecting the drivers from damage due to occasional overpowering.
Bracketry
A swivel (pan) / tilt wall-mount bracket is included, plus ten M6 inserts on the back panel fit the spacing of common third-party mounting brackets, or can be utilized to suspend the speaker using forged shoulder steel eyebolts or swivel mounting rings, providing installation versatility.
