Harman Professional House of Worship Audio System - Gold Bundle
The Harman Professional House of Worship Audio System Gold Bundle is a complete installed audio solution designed for churches, chapels, temples, mosques, and multi-purpose worship halls. It combines powerful JBL CBT column loudspeakers for the main congregation area and side fills, a high-power Crown CDi 4|1200 installation amplifier, flexible BSS BLU-100 processing, and intuitive BSS EC-8BV wall control to deliver clear speech, musical worship, and even coverage across the room. Engineered for regular weekly services and mid-week events, the system provides a dependable, easy-to-operate foundation for spoken word, choir, band, and playback audio.
Key Features
- Complete Worship Audio Package: Includes 2 × JBL CBT 70J-1 + 70JE-1 array systems for the main congregation area, 4 × JBL CBT 100 column loudspeakers for side/overflow coverage, 1 × Crown CDi 4|1200 amplifier, 1 × BSS BLU-100 DSP, and 1 × BSS EC-8BV wall controller—everything needed for a professionally integrated house of worship sound system.
- Clear Speech to Every Seat: JBL CBT column arrays use Constant Beamwidth Technology™ to control where the sound goes, helping sermons, readings, and prayers remain clear from the front row to the back of the room, even in difficult acoustics.
- Balanced Sound for Music & Worship: The CBT 70J-1 + 70JE-1 system delivers wide 45 Hz – 20 kHz bandwidth with switchable “Music” and “Speech” modes, so the system can be optimised either for musical worship or maximum vocal clarity.
- High-Power Multi-Channel Amplification: The Crown CDi 4|1200 provides four channels of up to 1200 W each into 4/8 Ω or 70V/100V lines, giving plenty of headroom to drive the main arrays and fill speakers from a single amplifier frame.
- Smart, Flexible Audio Processing: The BSS BLU-100 offers 12 analog inputs, 8 outputs, and a 48-channel low-latency BLU link bus, allowing the installer to handle routing, EQ, dynamics, and system protection for multiple microphones, instruments, and playback sources.
- Simple Day-to-Day Control: The BSS EC-8BV wall controller provides a clear volume knob, eight programmable buttons, and dual colour LCD displays so volunteers or staff can select sources and adjust levels without specialist AV training.
- Discreet, Architecturally Friendly Design: Slim CBT columns mount close to the walls and are available in black or white, helping the loudspeakers blend into the architecture and keep visual focus on the platform and worship activity.
- Scalable for Future Ministry Needs: With network-capable BLU-100 DSP and a high-channel-count amplifier, the system can be extended to additional rooms, overflow spaces, or lobby areas as the congregation grows.
