The JBL CBT 50LA-1 Line Array Column Loudspeaker features Constant Beamwidth Technology, so it's well-suited for use in lecture halls, transit centers, conference rooms, houses of worship, multipurpose spaces, architectural spaces, in-wall recessed locations, and more. This technology reduces the narrow vertical beaming and out-of-coverage lobing that are typical of straight form-factor passive column speakers. This flexible, compact speaker is built for indoor and outdoor usage and has controls for switchable voicing (music or speech). This model features an improved mounting bracket which, when used, affords greater flexibility in aiming the speaker.

Would you recommend using the JBL VMA1240 Commercial Series with 2 of these speakers? I need a mixer/amp for this situation.
The JBL VMA1240 Commercial Series 240W Bluetooth-Enabled Mixer/Amplifier can be used to power two of the JBL CBT 50LA-1 Line Array Column Loudspeakers.

question
what kind of amplifier do I use for these speakers?
I would recommend the QSC GX3 300 Watt 8 Ohm Power Amplifier, (B&H # QSGX3,) for a two-speaker set-up. If you require several speakers, I would pair them up with a 70- volt amplifier. Please contact one of our representatives for a specific model, based on your requirements.

question
Where are these speakers made?
Sorry, I've already got them mounted up to high to be able to find out where they are made. We had them installed a year ago and they work and sound awesome!
