JBL Commercial Debuts DriveCore™ Powered Mixer/Amplifiers

The new JBL Commercial CSS series Paging Horns provide excellent voice-range clarity for public address systems, announcement, paging, intercom,

security, alarm and industrial applications.

Constructed of sturdy ABS with corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware, both models include a built-in multi-tap transformer (15 watts for the H15, 30 watts for the H30) for use with 70V and 100V distributed speaker lines as well as 8-ohm operation.

JBL Professional has introduced the VTX F Series, a premium line of 2-way multi-purpose loudspeakers designed to add to the word-class performance of JBL’s

VTX Series line arrays, and designed in collaboration with Firehouse Productions.

Due to the sonic consistency provided by common large-format D2 driver technology, VTX-F can be used for fill applications, as dedicated point-and-shoot FOH loudspeakers or as floor monitors.

JBL Professional has announced cost-effective additions to

its Precision Directivity Series product line.

The PD6000 Series - which complement the larger PD700 mid-high systems, with more compact size and greater affordability - is

designed for medium to large venues requiring excellent pattern control, high output capability, configurable either individually or in array applications. PD6000’s higher SPL capability and larger waveguides also supplement the midsize and compact AE Series systems.

There are 14 products in the range which include two and three-way full-range, mid-high and low-frequency speakers.

More information on the PD6000 Series can be found on the JBL Professional website: www.jbpro.com.

The JBL Commercial series continues to expand, with the launch of six new Commercial Series Amplifiers (CSA) and two Commercial Series Mixers (CSM)

that combine outstanding value and performance.

All CSA amps are just 1U rack space high and a half-rack wide, can operate into 8 ohm and 4 ohm loads and can be used with 70V and 100V distributed audio systems without the need for a separate transformer.

All feature a universal power supply for international use and accept an Ethernet control cable for use with the JBL CSR-V wall-mount volume control. The CSA amplifiers incorporate HARMAN’s proprietary DriveCore amplifier IC, which combines what would be hundreds of conventional parts into a single chip and offers significantly reduced power consumption, size and weight while delivering outstanding sound quality.
