Overview

CBT 1000E

When connected to a CBT1000 line array column speaker, the CBT1000E Extension provides extended bass response, extended pattern control, and increased sound output levels. The combined array system provides Constant Beamwidth Technology™, which represents a breakthrough in pattern control consistency, utilizing complex analog beamforming and amplitude tapering to accomplish superior, consistent vertical coverage without the narrow vertical beaming and out-of-coverage lobing that are typical of passive column speakers.

Key Features

Components: Six (6) 165 mm (6.5 in) high-excursion LF drivers (CBT1000E)
1500 Watt power handling (CBT1000E)
Built-in purpose-designed crossover network, for combining with CBT1000 (CBT1000E)
Coupler plate included (CBT1000E)
Extended pattern control
Components: Twenty-four (24) 25 mm (1 in) extra-high-power soft dome tweeters and Twelve (12) 165 mm (6.5 in) high-excursion LF drivers (CBT1000+1000E)
3000 watt power handling (CBT1000+1000E)
Patent-pending Constant Beamwidth Technology ™ provides constant directivity up to the highest frequencies and reduces out-of-coverage lobing.
Vertical pattern coverage is individually adjustable through a range of four (4) “Pattern Up” angles and four (4) “Pattern Down” coverage angles for a total of sixteen (16) different coverage combinations, all without the use of external DSP processing (CBT1000)
Patent-pending Tapered Horizontal Waveguide provides a continuously varying horizontal dispersion (very wide for short-throw, narrower for long-throw) delivering superior coverage in both the front and rear corners of a room (CBT1000)
Single-speaker system room coverage at high SPL, with little over-splash and strong bass response down to below 38 Hz (CBT1000+1000E)
Switchable voicing provides flat response in music mode or mid-range presence peak in speech mode (CBT1000)
Swivel (pan)/tilt wall bracket and coupler plate included.

Low Frequency Drivers	12 pcs, 165 mm (6.5 in) drivers, neodymium, 50 mm (2 in) voice coil, damped blended textile surround, coated diaphragm for moisture, UV, and salt resistance.
High Frequency Drivers	24 pcs, 25 mm (1 in) drivers, neodymium, encased magnet and coated diaphragm for moisture, UV, and salt resistance.
Enclosure	Fiberglass reinforced ABS cabinet, powder coated 1050 aluminum grille
Outdoor Capability	IP-55 rated, per IEC529, when installed with optional MTC-PC2 panel cover. Exceeds Mil Spec 810 for humidity, temperature & UV, ASTM G85 for acid-air/salt-spray (200 hrs).
Colours	Black (RAL9004) or White (-WH) (RAL9016)
Insert Points	Coupler plate utilizes the bottom two rows of the top speaker and the top two rows of the bottom speaker, leaving available: 20 individual M8 inserts on back panel (20 mm deep) for use with swivel (pan)/tilt bracket(s), plus 4 individual M8 inserts on top and 4 on bottom of cabinet end-caps.
Mounting	Included two-part swivel (pan)/tilt wall bracket provides continuously variable +/- 45 degree left-right swivel aiming (at no up/down tilt – see Bracket Guide for maximum swivel range at various up/down tilt angles), continuously variable +/- 5.25 degree tilt, in the following increments: 5.25°, 5.0°, 4.5°, 4°, 3.75°, 3.5°, 3.0°, 2.75°, 2.5°, 2.0°, 1.75°, and 1.25°. Twenty (20) available threaded mounting points located on back panel of cabinet conform to industry standard rectangular 127 x 70 mm (5.0 x 2.75 in) pattern for legacy OmniMount® and other compatible third–party brackets. Four (4) threaded mount points on the top end-cap and four (4) on the bottom end-cap. Threaded mounting points can be utilized for suspension. (Always use multiple mounting points.)
