JBL Public Address System Transformer

product

Introduction

The rack-mountable JBL Commercial® CST-2120 transformer module provides impedance and voltage matching from the CSA-2120 amplifier (with 4 ohms or 8 ohms outputs) to drive 70V and 100V distributed speakers systems.
This unit allows the CSA-2120 amplifier without direct 70V or 100V output capability to drive distributed speaker systems designed to operate at those voltages.

  • Providing two channels of impedance matching and voltage matching for “Constant Voltage” operation.
  • Providing 70V and 100V output when used with CSA-2120 amplifiers
  • Allowing CSA-2120 amplifiers to be easily integrated into distributed systems
  • Detachable Phoenix-style input and output connectors

Installation

CAUTION: Before you begin, make sure that the amplifier is disconnected from the power source and all level controls are turned completely down (counter-clockwise).

  1. If you need to mount the transformer module to rack, use a standard 19-inch (48.3-cm) equipment rack (EIA RS- 310B) . You can have the following options according to your application:
    • Rack mounting the transformer module with a CSA- 2120 amplifier (See Figure A)
    • Rack mounting single unit (See Figure B)
    • Wall mounting (See Figure C)image 1
  2. Connect the input of the transformer module to the output of the CSA-2120 amplifier with the shipped 4-pin cable.
  3. Determine the proper transformer module tap to use, based on the desired constant-voltage of your system.

Note: The CST-2120 transformer module is designed to work with the CSA-2120 amplifer in a public address system. The rack mounting kit is not included with this product, and you can find it in the CSA-2120 package. If you fail to find the rack mounting kit, please consult your local dealer.
