70V vs. Low-Impedance Speakers

CSC DEFAULTS TO 70V/100V (T-VERSION)SPEAKERS – Most distributed ceiling speaker systems utilize 70V or 100V distributed system speakers. CSC defaults to 70V/100V speakers unless one of the checkboxes for low impedance speakers are checked.

70V VS. 100V – The same JBL speakers can be used in either a 70V distributed systems, which is typical within US, or a100V system, which is typical outside the US. The CSC software includes all the taps available for either 70V or 100V. However, the lowest tap rating listed on the speaker for 70V usage is usually not available for 100V systems. Before committing to using a speaker at a low tap on a 100V system, make sure that model does indeed offer that tap for 100V use.

LOW IMPEDANCE SPEAKERSLow-impedance refers to speakers in the 4Ω to 16Ω range. Advantages of low-impedance speakers include getting substantially louder than 70V/100V speakers (not being limited by the 70V/100V transformer), and achieving a wider frequency response. However, when using these speakers, impedance loading of the power amplifier must be taken into consideration, usually restricting use to a maximum of 2 or 4 speakers per amplifier channel (depending on the exact impedances of the speakers and the minimum-impedance capability of the amplifier).

Layout Density

CSC lays out speakers on an edge-to-edgespacing density, which is the most common and most economical density. In edge-to-edge spacing, there is very little overlap in coverage from adjacent speakers. While CSC is locked into an edge-to-edge density, tighter densities can be utilized to further improve sound quality/spaciousness, to lower sound level variations within the room, and to increase the maximum sound level capability of the system. For modeling tighter densities (Minimum Overlap and Maximum Overlap densities) use JBL Pro’s DSD Distributed System Design software.

Listener Height

CSC uses a listener height of 4 feet (1.2 meters) and is not adjustable. This height is approximately correct for either seated or standing listeners.

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.
