Appications of JBL CBT 100LA-LS – Black

Life-Safety / Emergency Voice Alarm Systems

• Because it’s EN 54-24 certified, it’s suitable for fire alarm and voice-alarm installations in buildings.
• The certification ensures it meets safety-required intelligibility and reliability.

Large Public Spaces (Transit Centers, Airports, Train Stations)

• Its constant beamwidth technology gives consistent vertical coverage, which is useful in tall or open architectural spaces.
• Switchable coverage (15° for long throw, 40° for medium) helps tailor the sound to where people are.

Conference Rooms, Lecture Halls, and Educational Spaces

• The voicing switch (speech vs music) makes it very flexible: boost midrange for speech-heavy environments or go flat for background music / presentations.
• Narrow vertical coverage helps focus sound on seated areas and reduces reflections.

Houses of Worship / Religious Buildings

• With its slim design, it integrates well into architectural aesthetics.
• Consistent coverage helps maintain speech intelligibility in reverberant environments like cathedrals.

Outdoor or Semi-Outdoor Installations

• Weather-treated drivers, IP-55 rating, UV and moisture resistance make it suitable for outdoor-facade or open-air installations.
• The robust, fiberglass-reinforced ABS cabinet helps ensure durability in exposed conditions.

Architectural / Aesthetic Installations

• The tall, narrow column form factor and multiple mounting points (18 M6 inserts) allow discreet mounting (wall, suspension, in-wall).
• Ideal for modern architectural projects where appearance and performance both matter.

Distributed Sound Systems (Public Address)

• Built-in transformer (70V/100V) lets you use it in distributed systems across a building or campus.
• At the same time, it supports 8 Ω direct drive for more localized, high-fidelity applications.
