Overview
The ultra-compact and innovatively designed CBL523 is a perfect fit where front-fill, balcony-fill, delay and on-wall distributed audio is needed.
The 8” x 14” enclosure features two 5” low-frequency drivers complimented by a vertical constant directivity array of three 2” high-frequency drivers, delivering 119dB of maximum SPL in a focused 160° (horizontal) x 15° (vertical) pattern.
The CBL523 has versatile mounting options with custom designed hardware, as well as the ability to stack and suspend two units together for increased SPL and an increased 30° vertical pattern.
