CSMA280 + (4) Control 25-1 + (2) CSR-V Black

Setting up background music and paging for a restaurant, bar, or shop usually means matching an amp, speakers, and wall controls from separate listings. This JBL package covers all of it in one order. The CSMA280 mixer amplifier delivers 2 x 80W and runs 70V or 100V speaker lines directly through its built-in output transformer, so you can wire a dining room, patio, or sales floor over long distances without adding outboard transformers. Eight mic/line inputs accept euroblock and RCA connections, and 27V phantom power is on hand for condenser paging mics.

The four Control 25-1 speakers split neatly across the amp's two output channels, giving you two independent zones with two speakers each. Every two-way cabinet pairs a 5.25" woven-fiberglass woofer with a 0.75" PEI tweeter and spreads sound across a 100° x 100° pattern, so tables along the wall hear the same clear mix as the middle of the room. Weather-protected, IP-44 rated enclosures hold up in covered outdoor seating, and InvisiBall mounting hardware keeps the install tidy.

Two CSR-V black wall controllers connect back to the amp over Ethernet cable, putting a volume knob in each zone so staff can turn things up for a packed Friday night or down for a quiet lunch without walking to the equipment closet. Voice-activated ducking on channels 1 and 5 drops the music when someone speaks into the paging mic, priority muting clears the air for announcements, and sleep mode powers the amp down after about 30 minutes with no signal.
