Product Description

JBL CBT 70JE-1 Extension for CBT 70J-1 Column Speaker, Black

The CBT 70JE-1 is a dedicated extension module that expands the vertical coverage and output capability of the CBT 70J-1 column speaker system. Designed for professional installations requiring extended pattern control and deeper bass response, this extension integrates seamlessly with the base unit to create a cohesive array with enhanced directivity and acoustic reach.

Acoustic Performance

This extension delivers extended bass response down to 45 Hz and maintains precise pattern control to 400 Hz for ±20° control, with substantial off-axis cancellation extending to 200 Hz. The switchable vertical coverage modes—Narrow Mode 25° (±10°) or Broad Mode 45° (±10°)—combined with 150° horizontal coverage (±20°), provide flexible deployment across varying venue requirements.
