JBL CWT128 Dual 8" 2-Way Loudspeaker System featuring CWT Crossfired Waveguide Technology

$3,480.00

The JBL Crossfired Waveguide Technology CWT128 is a compact full-range 2-way system designed to provide extremely wide-angle coverage with maximum bandwidth and SPL in a single system package. The unique wide coverage pattern horn is designed to provide seamless coverage to 160-degrees horizontally. CWT128’s small footprint makes the system ideal for nearly all architecturally sensitive environments, taking up about a third of the footprint of two speakers splayed side by side.

About the JBL CWT128 Dual 8" 2-Way Loudspeaker System featuring CWT Crossfired Waveguide Technology

The JBL CWT128 is an advanced dual 8-inch two-way loudspeaker system that incorporates proprietary CWT (Crossfired Waveguide Technology) to achieve exceptional pattern control and sonic clarity. This innovative design positions the high-frequency compression driver at the precise acoustic center between two vertically aligned 8-inch low-frequency transducers, firing through a specially engineered waveguide. This configuration creates a coherent wavefront with symmetrical horizontal and vertical dispersion, minimizing lobing and phase cancellations common in conventional multi-driver designs. The result is a highly uniform sound field with consistent frequency response both on and off-axis, making it an ideal choice for critical applications in performing arts centers, high-end corporate venues, houses of worship, and demanding fixed installations where precise coverage and high fidelity are paramount.

The system's performance is characterized by its ability to deliver high output with low distortion, thanks to its efficient transducer design and optimized crossover network. The dual 8-inch woofers provide robust low-frequency punch and extended midrange clarity, while the centrally located high-frequency driver ensures detailed and articulate highs. The CWT waveguide technology not only improves directivity control but also enhances power response, ensuring that the tonal balance remains consistent throughout the coverage area. This makes the loudspeaker exceptionally effective in acoustically challenging environments, as it directs energy precisely where it is needed and reduces unwanted reflections from walls and ceilings.

Constructed for both permanent installation and portable use, the enclosure is built from rugged, void-free birch plywood with a durable textured finish. It includes integrated rigging points for flexible flying or stacking and is equipped with professional-grade input connectors. The JBL CWT128 represents a sophisticated approach to loudspeaker design, offering audio professionals a powerful tool that combines the output capability of a dual-driver system with the precise, coherent coverage of a point source, delivering outstanding intelligibility and musical accuracy across a wide listening area.
