Technology,
designed to provide
seamless horizontal
coverage across a
ull 160 degrees.
JBL Proessional has re-
vealed its CWT Crossred
Waveguide Technology,
an all-new design that
delivers a ull 160 degree wide angle
coverage pattern.
The CWT s compact size and ootprint
takes up about a third o the ootprint
o two speakers arranged side by side.
Because one speaker can be used in-
stead o two, installation costs can be
lowered by reducing the number o
cabinets, cabling, labour and other
costs.
The rst model in the series is the
CWT128 which employs two o JBLs
proven 2408H-1 compression drivers,
renowned or their high-power-han-
dling and smooth response.
A pair o 8-inch JBL SFG low-requen-
cy drivers each eatures a copper-clad
aluminum edge-wound 2.5-inch voice
coil and copper-clad pole piece that
improve perormance by reducing
voice coil inductance and distortion
or smoother response, extended bass
and extremely low distortion.

o up to 120 units can be created with ease.
Both stations provide a built-in speaker
and two 3.5mm stereo jacks or
