Blaze Audio CBL528-BA-B – Bi-Amped Constant Beamwidth Loudspeaker, Black

Product Overview

The Blaze Audio CBL528-BA-B is a bi-amped 2-way constant beamwidth loudspeaker engineered for demanding commercial sound reinforcement applications. Designed for permanent installation in restaurants, retail environments, corporate lobbies, and houses of worship, it delivers consistent horizontal coverage across its listening area. As a commercial AV loudspeaker for install, the CBL528-BA-B accepts dual-amp inputs and maintains a controlled dispersion pattern that minimizes off-axis spill and simplifies system design. It is part of the Blaze by Sonance CBL Series, available from Creation Networks.

Product Description

The CBL528-BA-B is a professional-grade bi-amped commercial speaker purpose-built for fixed installation where precise pattern control is critical. Its constant horizontal coverage pattern ensures even sound distribution throughout the listening area without the hot spots or dead zones common in less controlled designs. The dual-amp input configuration gives system designers flexibility to drive the HF and LF sections independently, optimizing headroom and tonal balance for the venue. Whether deployed in a hospitality environment, a multi-purpose room, or a corporate lobby, the CBL528-BA-B delivers articulate, full-range audio with the reliability required for commercial operation. The black finish integrates cleanly into architectural environments where visible hardware must remain discreet. Mounting is straightforward via surface or U-bracket options, accommodating a range of installation geometries. The CBL Series is specifically engineered for commercial sound reinforcement loudspeaker applications where consistent coverage and low maintenance are non-negotiable. AV integrators will appreciate the predictable dispersion data that simplifies coverage modeling and commissioning. This model is also available in white — see the CBL528-BA-W at Creation Networks for white-finish installations.

Key Features

• Bi-Amped 2-Way Design — Independent amplifier inputs for HF and LF drivers allow optimized gain structure and greater headroom in each band.
• Constant Beamwidth Pattern Control — Consistent horizontal coverage across the operating bandwidth reduces off-axis spill and simplifies venue coverage planning.
• Dual-Amp Inputs — Accepts separate amplifier channels for bi-amp operation, giving integrators full control over crossover alignment and system tuning.
• Black Architectural Finish — Discrete matte black exterior integrates into commercial interiors without drawing visual attention.
• Surface or U-Bracket Mount — Flexible mounting system supports a wide range of installation angles and wall or ceiling configurations.
• Commercial-Grade Construction — Built to withstand continuous operation in busy commercial environments including retail, hospitality, and corporate spaces.
• CBL Series Lineage — Part of the Blaze by Sonance CBL Series, a purpose-designed family of constant beamwidth loudspeakers for professional AV install.
• Scalable Deployment — Can be deployed as a standalone fill speaker or as part of a larger distributed system alongside other CBL Series models.

Frequently Asked Questions

What amplifier is recommended for the CBL528-BA-B?
The CBL528-BA-B is designed for bi-amp operation and requires a two-channel amplifier or two separate amplifier channels — one for the HF driver and one for the LF driver. Consult the official Blaze by Sonance datasheet for impedance and power handling specifications to match an appropriate amplifier.

Is this speaker compatible with DSP processors?
Yes. As a bi-amped commercial loudspeaker, the CBL528-BA-B is intended to be driven via a DSP processor that handles crossover filtering and system alignment. Most commercial AV DSP platforms with appropriate output channel counts are compatible.

Can the CBL528-BA-B be used with other CBL Series models?
Yes. The CBL Series is designed as a cohesive product family. The CBL528-BA-B can be deployed alongside other CBL Series models for main coverage, delays, or fills within the same system.

What mounting hardware is included?
The CBL528-BA-B supports surface mount and U-bracket mounting. Confirm included hardware and available accessory brackets by reviewing the product datasheet or contacting Creation Networks.

Is the CBL528-BA-B available in white?
Yes. The white-finish version is the CBL528-BA-W (SKU: FGM-888-006), also available at Creation Networks.
