CLA700A  CLA LF3200A

Self Powered Composite Line Array

CLA700A: 4x 8″ Low-Mid Driver + 2x 1.5″ ISOPHASIC HF Array
CLA LF3200A: 1x 18″ Sub Bass Driver

The CLA700A Composite Line Array and the CLA LF3200A Sub Bass Enclosure combine to create the self powered BLACKBIRD CLA Sound Reinforcement System. The BLACKBIRD CLA System is the ideal solution for compact touring or in-house systems offering highly advanced line array technology in a compact and easy to use format.

The CLA700A is a 2 way composite line array system utilising well established line array principals to achieve exceptional frequency response and pattern control. The Bass/Mid Section features 4x 8″, Neodymium Loudspeakers. The critical High Frequencies are reproduced by a dual element ISOPHASIC HF Aperture. The CLA700A’s dispersion pattern is 150° Horizontal by 20° Vertical providing maximum audience coverage with unparalleled intelligibility. When 2x CLA700A’s are stacked, the vertical dispersion is reduced to 10°. Frequency response is 50Hz – 20kHz.

The CLA LF3200A Sub Bass System employs a high power handling 18” transducer to provide a frequency response from 32Hz – 200Hz which is tailored to perfectly compliment the CLA700A.

The CLA700A and CLA LF3200A are powered by sophisticated Powersoft Class D Amplifier Modules which feature fully integrated Switch Mode Power Supplies and on board Digital Signal Processing (DSP). Output power is 2000 Watts RMS into the 4 x 8″ mid speakers  and 800 Watts RMS into the HF high frequency drivers. The DSP in each amplifier module is configured with Acoustic Technologies Factory Recommended Settings which guarantees optimal system performance, output power and long term reliability.

A USB Type B connector allows Powersoft’s Armonia software to control and monitor the system’s DSP and amplifiers.

A standard self powered BLACKBIRD CLA System employs 2x CLA700A Line Array Cabinets and 2x CLA LF3200A Sub Bass Cabinets per stack. Enhanced low frequency reinforcement can be readily achieved with an additional 2x CLA LF3200A Sub Bass Cabinets per stack.

The cabinets are supplied with handgrips, cabinet locating feet and safety attachment points. Castors are fitted as standard for the CLA LF3200A and are an option for the CLA700A. Acoustic Technologies Blackbird CLA Series Cabinets are finished in black AcoustiCoate polymer finish with black powder coated grilles.
