Instructions

Before Starting -- Click Speaker Configurator and then Preferences to set whether you will be using English or Metric units.

Step 1 -- Click Speaker Configurator and then New Configuration to bring up the New Configuration screen.

oEnter the project name.

oCheck the bubble for whether the system will be used solely for music, solely for paging, or for both.

oRead the box about 70V/100V distributed speakers vs. low-impedance (8Ω or 16Ω) speakers. If you want the results to include low-impedance speakers (in addition to 70V/100V speakers), then click the top checkbox in that section. If you want to only include low-impedance speakers, click the bottom checkbox in that section. Read the note at the bottom left about complex rooms. Click NEXT.

Step 2 -- If you selected Music or Both, the music system screen will appear. Click the bubble representing the sound level you want, based on the description in the bottom left. If in doubt between two levels, check the higher level bubble to allow the proper headroom for either level. Click NEXT.

Step 3 -- If you selected Paging or Both, the paging system screen will appear. Click the bubble most closely representing the type of application. The purpose is to determine what the typical ambient sound is that the sound system will need to overcome. If your application is not specifically mentioned, choose an application where the ambient sound level is similar to your application. Click NEXT.

Step 4 – On the Room Dimension screen, enter the dimensions of the room, or of the section of the room that you are modeling. (Note that CSC does not compute based on the specific room dimensions, but rather bases its computations on the total square footage of the floorspace. For more complete computations taking into consideration the specific room dimensions, use DSD.)

Input the Ceiling Height. If the speakers will be installed below the actual ceiling height, input the height above the floor at which the speakers will be installed. Click NEXT.

Step 5 – The Results screen appears.

oRecommended Sound Level – Based on the information you entered on the Music page, Paging page or both, CSC sets a recommended sound level. (The target paging sound level for the listed application-types comes from industry standard BS5839, Annex B.)

oSpeakers Options #1,#2, & #3 – For most systems, CSC presents three possible speaker choices. Option #1 is the least expensive choice, followed by #2 and then #3.

Matching Required Sound Level – Note that the sound level capability of some of the speaker selection Options might be lower or higher than the target sound level recommendation listed at the top of the page. Selections are made in a window that allows a few dB variation from the recommended level, to provide some trade-off choices.

In certain situations, such as very low target sound level with only low-impedance speakers selected, actual sound level capability of the speakers could be considerably higher than the target level simply because that is the sound level capability of the designated speakers.

Speaker specifications

JBL Professional speakers represent the pinnacle of audio innovation and engineering, catering to a range of professional audio applications. Renowned for their superior sound quality and robust design, JBL speakers are widely used in concert venues, recording studios, and broadcasting.

One of the key features of JBL Professional speakers is their ability to deliver exceptional clarity and power across a broad frequency range. This is achieved through advanced transducer technology, where high-quality drivers are engineered to produce detailed highs, natural mids, and impactful lows. JBL's patented Waveguide technology further enhances sound dispersion, ensuring that audio reaches every corner of the venue without losing fidelity.

Durability is another hallmark of JBL Professional speakers. Many models are constructed using tough materials and are designed to withstand the rigors of touring and live performances. Reinforced enclosures help to reduce unwanted vibrations, providing a stable platform for sound projection. This rugged build, combined with weather-resistant elements in select models, makes them ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Integration with modern technologies is crucial for professional audio equipment, and JBL Professional speakers are no exception. Many models feature advanced digital signal processing (DSP) capabilities, offering precise control over sound tuning and equalization. With built-in Bluetooth connectivity, users can stream audio wirelessly from their devices, simplifying setup and enhancing flexibility during performances.

Another notable characteristic of JBL Professional speakers is their versatility. They come in various configurations, including portable, powered, and passive models, which cater to different setups and environments. From compact speakers for small venues to high-output systems for large concerts, JBL offers a solution for every professional audio need.

Acoustic optimization is also at the forefront of JBL's design philosophy. Many speakers incorporate features like automatic EQ settings and feedback suppression, allowing for seamless integration into diverse sound systems. This ensures that audio professionals can achieve optimal sound in real time, regardless of the environment.

Ultimately, JBL Professional speakers stand out in the marketplace due to their unparalleled sound quality, robust construction, and cutting-edge technology. Whether it's a live performance, recording session, or event production, JBL continues to be a trusted name in professional audio, delivering exceptional performance and reliability.
