Product Overview

A bolt-on transformer enclosure module, the MTC-CBT-70T from JBL is designed to adapt CBT 70J-1 and CBT 70JE-1 (and CBT 70J-1/JE-1 arrays - all sold separately) for use on distributed loudspeaker lines. It allows for a single distributed system amplifier channel to drive multiple speakers, as well as the capability for long cable runs. It features transformer taps for 120W, 60W, and 30W for 70V and 100V distributed lines, plus 15W for 70V only.

Customer-supplied cable to screw-down terminals within the enclosure are the method of connection. It comes with 2 gland nuts – one for the cable into the enclosure from the amplifier and one for the cable from the enclosure's terminal strip to the loudspeaker's input terminal. These gland nuts make for a water-tight seal when used with round-jacketed cable with outside diameters of between 0.16" (4mm) and 0.36" (9mm).

The transformer's tap selection is achieved via the terminal connection of the cable from the power amplifier to the appropriate terminals on the enclosure's internal terminal strip. Additionally it includes mounting holes that fit via two 6mm screws to any of the two side-by-side insert points on the back of the CBT 70J-1 or CBT 70JE-1 cabinet (both sold separately).
