Understanding a movie’s sound elements can be just as impactful as its images. JBL Professional designed
the CPi2000 professional-grade processor to provide exceptional audio quality and volume control for cinema
sound systems. Crafted to deliver a theatre-sound experience that’s as enveloping as the excitement onscreen,
the CPi2000 offers professional features like DSP, EQ, crossover that converts up to 7.1 channel audio to
passive, bi-amp or tri-amp, loudspeaker management, JBL cinema speaker presets and customizable software
functions to fine-tune audio settings. Audio performance like this will keep the audience on the edge of their
seats and wanting to come back for more.
In addition to exceptional sound quality, JBL Professional constructed the CPi2000 to be extremely user-
friendly. With the specially-designed GUI software, which provides the processor with a 1/3 octave GEQ for
room tuning, setting up a cinema audio system has never been easier. As for connections, the processor
includes four input options—analog, digital non-sync, mono mic—as well as 10 HD-15 analog outputs, a 25-
pin analog output for third-party compatibility and redundant output to directly distribute audio signals during
power failures. Monitoring and adjusting the CPi2000’s performance is also easy, as its front panel features a
large LCD display and accessible volume knob. Altogether, the CPi2000 enhances your cinema sound system
and helps provide movie goers an unforgettable movie experience.
The target market for the CPi2000 is any cinema with theatre needs of 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound. Because
many of today’s cinemas deploy digital servers for content playback with 5.1 or 7.1 non-compressed audio
output, the CPi2000 is designed to work with these cinema sound solutions to process and distribute audio to
the system’s speakers.
