AWC82 and AWC129: Compact All-Weather Speakers

NewImage

JBL's AWC Series of compact, all-weather loudspeaker systems brings high fidelity sound quality and substantial sound level capability to today's outdoor applications. The wide-range, smooth frequency response and high sensitivity ensure high fidelity music reproduction and superb projection of clear, intelligible speech. AWC82 is a very compact 8” 2-way co-axial speaker with compression-driver high frequency, wide 120° x 120° coverage and 250 Watts power handling. AWC129 is a 12” 2-way co-axial speaker, also with compression-driver high frequency, focused 90° x 90° coverage, and 400 Watts of power handling. Both speakers can be operated as direct low-impedance (8 ohm) or on a 70V or 100V distributed line via built-in 200 Watt multi-tap transformers.

AWC components are highly weather-treated and a three-layer grille with vapor-barrier backing minimizes direct rain contact with the system transducers. The recessed terminal compartment is protected by a panel cover and a water-tight gland nut fitting. U-bracket is included. JBL's AWC speakers are ideal for projects such as racetracks, school stadiums, theme parks, fairgrounds, skating rinks and swimming facilities, as well as for arenas, general public address and a variety of other indoor and outdoor applications. Both models are available in light grey or black (-BK).

CBT 200LA-1: New, Extra-Tall CBT Column Loudspeaker

CBT 200LA-1 is the newest and tallest in the popular CBT Series of constant directivity column loudspeakers. At 200 cm (6.6 feet) tall, this column provides consistent pattern control over a wider bandwidth than is possible with shorter columns. Vertical pattern coverage is adjustable to either 15° or 30° to match the architectural characteristics of a wide variety of venues. In addition, an innovative Asymmetrical Progressive-Gradient coverage setting can be selected which makes the speaker function similarly to the popular CBT 70J, directing more sound toward the far areas of the listening space to help reduce variation in SPL levels from front-to-back within the room. This can make for a more pleasant listening experience while further increasing intelligibility within the listening space.

The narrow width (98 mm, 3.8 inches) fits visually into a wide variety of applications. Dynamic Sonic-Guard™ provides low audibility overload protection. A swivel/tilt wall bracket is included, and MTC-FM flush-mount wall brackets are available. The speakers can be operated at direct low impedance or from a built-in 70V/100V transformer (240 Watts). A speech voicing contour switch raises mid-range sensitivity and increases maximum mid-range SPL by 4 dB, which can be especially useful for speech-based applications. The CBT Series speakers are designed to be installed either indoors or outdoors and are available in black or white (-WH).

The high degree of pattern control capability of the CBT 200LA-1 makes it ideal for highly reverberant venues or for medium to long throw coverage in a wide variety of applications including transport, cathedrals, conference centres, multi-purpose spaces, mass paging applications, gymnasiums, theme parks, and architectural spaces, among many others.
