The JBL CBT 50LA-LS-WH is a compact, weather-sealed line array column designed for professional speech and music reinforcement in commercial and life safety applications. Its vertical 20.8" profile delivers controlled directional coverage from a minimal footprint, making it ideal for installing in tight spaces where traditional loudspeaker arrays won't fit. The included swivel/tilt wall bracket enables flexible positioning to match room acoustics and sightlines.
