CBT36K Assembly Manual
PREFACE:
This is the assembly/instruction manual for the CBT36K, a DIY kit-version
of the CBT36 system, a floor-standing CBT circular-arc high-end
loudspeaker line array. The system is sold as a do-it-yourself
(DIY) loudspeaker kit by
Dayton Audio
. The system is also available as
a completed unit. The CBT36 is a floor-standing 5 ft. tall two-way
curved line array that provides sonic accuracy, low distortion, and sound
field coverage control surpassing even the finest high-end loudspeakers.
One additional amazing feature of the CBT36 is that it is time aligned
and linear phase not only at a “magic listening spot” in front of the array
but at locations on the floor, to locations above the array, and
locations at extreme off-axis horizontal angles!
The CBT36 is based upon declassified military research on
uniform-coverage underwater sound transducers originated by the US
Navy in the late 70s and early 80s. CBT, which stands for
C
onstant
B
eamwidth
T
ransducer, is a term coined by the military
researchers in their technical papers. The system is designed by
Marshall Kay and Don Keele
.
Each array features 18 Dayton Audio 3.5" ND Series drivers along with
72 specially designed 1/2" aluminum dome tweeters, and is available
in kit form as well as a fully assembled product. The CBT36 will
redefine your expectations of audio reproduction system performance!
