Review HARMAN PROFESSIONAL INC Jbl Cbt 50la-1 Flush Mount

The Harman International CBT50LA-1 and JBL CBT50LA-1 are identical flush mount loudspeakers, engineered and manufactured by Harman International under the JBL brand. These compact, versatile speakers are designed for a variety of applications, including background music, paging, and voice reinforcement in commercial environments.

The CBT50LA-1/JBL CBT50LA-1 features a unique Constant Beamwidth Technology (CBT) horn design. This innovative horn shape ensures consistent horizontal coverage of 90 degrees, making it ideal for applications where even sound dispersion is essential, such as retail spaces, hospitals, schools, and houses of worship. The narrow vertical coverage angle of 15 degrees minimizes sound reflection off parallel surfaces, resulting in improved clarity and reduced feedback.

The weather-resistant, powder-coated, aluminum enclosure of the CBT50LA-1/JBL CBT50LA-1 is designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor installations. The speakers are also available in white or black finishes to blend seamlessly into various decor styles.

Each speaker houses a 5.25-inch (133 mm) low-frequency driver and a 1-inch (25 mm) titanium diaphragm compression driver. The drivers are optimally matched to the CBT horn, ensuring superior sound quality and consistent performance. The speakers can be mounted horizontally or vertically, offering flexibility for a range of installation scenarios.

The CBT50LA-1/JBL CBT50LA-1 comes with several mounting options, including surface-mount, flush-mount, and yoke-mount. The speakers can also be used in pairs with JBL's CBT Series 1600W and 2400W amplifiers for increased power handling capabilities.

This compact, powerful, and versatile speaker delivers clear, evenly dispersed sound, making it an excellent choice for various commercial applications where sound quality and consistent coverage are essential.

The Harman CBT 50 LA-1 and JBL CBT 50 LA-1 are compact, two-way coaxial loudspeakers designed for flush mounting in applications such as retail spaces, restaurants, and small venues. Both speakers share many similarities, but there are also some notable differences that may influence your buying decision.

1. 5.25-inch (133 mm) LF driver and 1-inch (25 mm) HF driver.

2. 60 x 90 conical dispersion pattern.

3. 100W RMS power handling.

4. 8 impedance.

5. MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) cabinet.

6. Threaded M6 mounting points for easy installation.

1. Frequency response: 80 Hz 20 kHz.

2. Magnetically shielded.

3. Transformer-balanced, 100V line input.

1. Frequency response: 75 Hz 20 kHz.

2. Permanently installed transformer.

3. Unbalanced, 14 AWG input terminals.

1. Magnetically shielded, suitable for use near CRT monitors or other sensitive equipment.

2. Transformer-balanced input helps reduce electrical noise and improve signal integrity.

3. Greater frequency response range.

1. Higher cost due to the transformer-balanced input.

1. Lower cost due to the permanently installed transformer.

2. Unbalanced input is simpler to use and more common in installations.

1. Not magnetically shielded, which may be a concern in certain installations.

Both the Harman CBT 50 LA-1 and JBL CBT 50 LA-1 are excellent flush-mount speakers for various applications. The Harman CBT 50 LA-1 offers magnetically shielded, transformer-balanced input at a higher cost, while the JBL CBT 50 LA-1 provides a lower cost, unbalanced input, and a slightly narrower frequency response range.

Based on your requirements, you should consider the specific features of each speaker and their impact on your installation. If magnetic shielding or transformer-balanced input is essential, the Harman CBT 50 LA-1 may be the better choice. In contrast, if cost is a primary concern, and magnetic shielding is not required, the JBL CBT 50 LA-1 might be the more suitable option.

To make an informed decision, assess the unique requirements of your installation and compare the features and advantages of both speakers. Weigh the benefits of magnetically shielded, transformer-balanced input versus the cost savings of an unbalanced input, and choose the speaker that best fits your specific needs.
