LBC3200/00

• Extended listening area
• Excellent intelligibility of speech and music
• Uniform distribution of natural sound throughout the room
• Ideal combination of advanced acoustics and easy application
• EN 54‑24 certified

This loudspeaker, with its good directivity, can handle small and medium indoor environments such as congress venues, meeting rooms, showrooms and canteens. The full frequency range of the LBC 3200/00 makes it ideal for speech as well as music reproduction. Its exceptionally narrow housing (only 8 cm wide) makes it extremely unobtrusive.

System overview
A wall bracket for mounting the line array onto walls and pillars is included with the loudspeaker. It is fully adjustable in two perpendicular planes for accurate positioning. For temporary installations, the LBC 3200/00 can be mounted on an LBC 1259/01 floor stand with an M10 threaded bolt without additional accessories. A three-way, ceramic terminal block with screw connections suitable for loop-through wiring is located in a compartment at the base of the loudspeaker. There is also a switch, which allows the selection of nominal full power (30 W), half power (15 W), or quarter power (7.5 W). The compartment has knockout slots for cables.

Functions

Range of Application
The LBC 3200/00 is part of the XLA 3200 (extended Listening Area) range of line array loudspeakers. The positioning of the loudspeaker drivers has resulted in greatly improved audio directivity. The specially developed high quality drivers enable reproduction of remarkably clear, natural sound, giving excellent intelligibility of both speech and music. Greater coverage is achieved, so more people can be reached with perceptually perfect sound. All this makes this small line array loudspeaker very suitable for use in  small to medium sized applications.

Easy Installation
The positioning of the drivers in the array generates larger vertical opening angles for high frequencies, reducing the narrow ‘beaming’ of higher tones. As an example, the vertical opening angle is still 18° at 4 kHz. Having larger vertical opening angles makes 2 | LBC3200/00 Line array loudspeaker, 30W installation easier, as the positioning of the loudspeakers is easier because they cover a wider area. An extremely wide horizontal opening angle of 130° at 4 kHz means that a single loudspeaker can provide natural sound reproduction over an extensive listening area.

Suppressed Side Lobes
All conventional column loudspeakers produce a main lobe of sound, which is directed at listeners, and a number of unwanted side lobes. The LBC 3200/00 has highly suppressed side lobes in the vertical plane, typically at least 8 dB of suppression from the 500 Hz octave band at 90°. This provides a much clearer, less colored sound, and greatly reduces the possibilities for acoustic feedback.

Sound Reproduction
The positioning and very high quality of the 2 inch drivers contribute significantly in making the LBC 3200/00 a very efficient line array. With a sound pressure level of 106 dB at 1 m, at 30 W, loud and clear sound reproduction is possible even at a significant distance from the loudspeaker. The high-quality loudspeaker drivers used in the
LBC 3200/00 give excellent, natural sound reproduction of frequencies ranging from 190 Hz to 18 kHz. This ensures that all important frequencies for superb speech intelligibility are heard in the listening area.

Emergency Compliant
The loudspeakers ceramic terminal block, thermal fuse and heat-resistant, high-temperature wiring ensures that, in the event of a fire, damage to the loudspeaker does not result in failure of the circuit to which it is connected. This maintains system integrity, ensuring that loudspeakers within the same loudspeaker zone in other areas can still be used to inform people of the situation.

Certifications and approvals
All Bosch loudspeakers are designed to withstand operation at their rated power for 100 hours in accordance with IEC 268-5 Power Handling Capacity (PHC) standards. These loudspeakers also comply with the Simulated Acoustical Feedback Exposure (SAFE) test, which demonstrates that they can withstand acoustical feedback at full power for short durations. This ensures extra reliability under extreme conditions, leading to higher customer satisfaction, longer operating life, and much less chance of failure or performance deterioration.
