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

This JBL package puts a complete distributed audio system for restaurants, bars, retail floors, and offices into one order: a CSMA280 mixer amplifier, two pairs of Control 25-1 wall-mount speakers, and a CSR-V wall volume control. The CSMA280 puts out 2 x 80W and runs 70V or 100V speaker lines directly through its built-in transformer, so you can wire speakers across a dining room or patio without buying a separate transformer. Eight inputs accept microphones and line sources over euroblock and RCA connections, with 27V phantom power for condenser mics.

Two output channels make zoning simple. Run one pair of speakers in the main room and the other at the bar or in outdoor seating, then mount the CSR-V where staff spend the most time so they can adjust the level without walking back to the equipment rack. It connects to the amp over a standard Ethernet cable through the rear-panel RJ45 port. Voice-activated ducking on channels 1 and 5 lowers background music when someone talks into the paging mic, and priority muting cuts every other channel for announcements.

Each Control 25-1 pairs a 5.25" woven-fiberglass woofer with a 0.75" PEI tweeter and 100° x 100° coverage, so guests seated off to the side still hear clear, natural sound. IP-44 rated, weather-protected enclosures suit indoor and outdoor spaces, and InvisiBall mounting hardware keeps the install clean. When the room goes quiet, sleep mode powers the amplifier down after about 30 minutes without signal.
