Presonus CDL12
The PreSonus CDL12 is the result of years of research and development, combining the best attributes of point source and line array technology into a unique patent-pending design. Based on the Constant-Directivity Two-Way Loudspeaker System design presented at the 143rd AES Convention in New York by Hugh Sarvis and Don Keele, the CDL12 radiates a highly focused pattern with consistent SPL throughout the frequency response range, both on- and off-axis. The result is clear, articulate speech intelligibility and natural music reproduction.
Each CDL12 consists of eight 2-inch drivers aligned in a segmented circular-arc high-frequency array centered in front of a 12-inch woofer. The output of the low-frequency driver travels from the same acoustic axis as the high-frequency array so that the pattern always radiates from the center of the CDL12. This is true whether the CDL12 is used individually on a tripod speaker stand or as part of an acoustically coupled vertical array with up to six enclosures. Because of this, the CDL12 avoids the near-field anomalies that can interfere with the sound quality of a traditional line array. This makes the CDL12 ideally suited for a broader range of venue sizes, creating a far-field response almost immediately as the sound is projected from the center of the enclosure.
Key Features:
- Hybrid Point Source / Line Array Constant Directivity Loudspeaker
- Incorporates eight 2-inch high-frequency drivers centred in front of a 12-inch woofer
- 2-inch x 8 HF, 20-degree driver array with 1-inch voice coils
- Custom 12-inch LF driver with 2.5-inch voice coil
- Nominal Coverage (-6dB): Truly symmetrical 120° x 20° per enclosure
- 420Hz crossover frequency minimises comb filtering
- Dante enabled with accessible system tuning via WorxControl software
- Integrated rigging hardware that can accommodate up to six enclosures when flown
- Class D amplifier - 2000W peak, 1000W program, 500W RMS
- Maximum Peak SPL: 131 dB
- On-board DSP presets Compression, Limiting, Delay, 8-band EQ
- Robust Neutrik PowerCon In and Out connectivity
- Enclosure: 15mm Eucalyptus plywood
