	JBL CMS-14 and CMS-28 mixers

Harman's JBL Commercial announces its six Commercial Series Amplifiers (CSA) and two Commercial Series Mixers (CSM) are now shipping. The CSA and CSM line-up combines outstanding value and performance and fulfill the need for small, affordable, easy to use sound reinforcement for applications such as restaurants, coffee ships, fitness facilities, bars, and other spaces where an elaborate A/V installation isn't required. All CSA products are Energy Star certified.

The JBL Commercial power amplifiers and mixers now shipping include the following:
• CSA2120Z amplifier, two channels, 120W power output per channel
• CSA280Z amplifier, two channels, 80W power output per channel
• CSA240Z amplifier, two channels, 40W power output per channel
• CSA1120Z amplifier, one channel, 120W power output
• CSA180Z amplifier, one channel, 80W power output
• CSA140Z amplifier, one channel, 40W power output
• CSM-28 mixer, eight inputs, 2 outputs
• CSM-14 mixer, four inputs, 1 output

"The JBL Commercial CSA and CSM amplifiers and mixers provide just the right mix of performance, value, and functionality for a broad array of fixed install applications," said Craig Lambrecht, business segment manager, amplifier business unit. "These products continue to further the mission of the JBL Commercial line of products to provide high-quality audio systems for venues that would never have had access to such technology in the past because of budget, space, or technology constraints."

The CSA amplifiers incorporate Crown's proprietary DriveCore amplifier IC, which combines what would be hundreds of conventional parts into a single chip smaller than a dime. DriveCore offers significantly reduced power consumption, size, and weight while delivering outstanding sound quality. All CSA amps are just 1U rack space high and a half-rack wide. All models can operate into 8ohm and 4ohm loads and can be used with 70V and 100V distributed audio systems without the need for a separate transformer.

JBL Commercial's CSM mixers are perfect for background music, paging, security, and other uses. Like the CSA amplifiers, the CSM models are simple to set up and use, with a minimum of front-panel controls and illuminated rings around the knobs for easy visibility. All the mixers provide channel, master volume, and independent bass and treble controls. All models feature priority muting, VOX ducking, and mic phantom power and can be used with JBL's CSR-V wall controller.

JBL Commercial components are manufactured under Harman JBL's GreenEdge initiative for increased energy efficiency and lighter weight while delivering top-quality performance. CSA amps and CSM mixers conform to lead-free RoHS standards, use recycled copper, aluminum, and steel from factory processes and benefit from additional environmentally conscious manufacturing procedures.
