Product Description
Stacking the CBT 70JE-1 on top with the included coupler plate adds four more 5" low-frequency drivers and a dedicated crossover, extending bass response down to 45 Hz, carrying pattern control lower in frequency, and raising overall output. One switch sets vertical coverage to 45° for medium throw or 25° for long throw, and another picks flat music voicing or a speech mode with a midrange presence peak. Each section handles 500W, Dynamic SonicGuard protects the HF drivers from overload, and the CBT 70J-1's fiberglass-reinforced ABS cabinet and painted aluminum grille reach an IP-55 rating with the optional MTC-PC2 panel cover. The included swivel/tilt wall bracket offers ±80° pan and ±15° tilt, so the array can be aimed exactly where the audience sits.

CBT 70JE-1
The JBL CBT 70JE-1 is the low-frequency extension made for the CBT 70J-1 column. It mounts to the top of the array with the included coupler plate, forming a progressive line array with asymmetrical vertical coverage that concentrates sound toward the far areas of a room.

Features
Even Coverage Front to Back
Asymmetrical vertical coverage aims more sound toward the far end of the room, so back-row listeners hear levels close to what the front rows get.
Deeper, Fuller Low End
The CBT 70JE-1 stacks on top with the included coupler plate, adding four 5" low-frequency drivers that extend bass response down to 45 Hz.
Throw Matched to the Room
A switch selects 25° vertical coverage for long-throw spaces or 45° for medium throw, matching the pattern to auditoriums, halls, or stadium seating.
Clear Speech or Full Music
Switchable voicing gives flat response for music playback or a midrange presence peak in speech mode, keeping lectures and announcements easy to understand.
Built for Tough Venues
A fiberglass-reinforced ABS cabinet and coated drivers resist moisture, UV, and salt spray, with IP-55 protection when fitted with the optional MTC-PC2 panel cover.
