Presonus CDL12 Hybrid Point Source/Line Array Constant Directivity Loudspeaker

The Presonus CDL12 brings the power and ability to fill a space with sound of a line array sound system to small portable enclosure. This is achieved through a ground breaking design featuring eight 2-inch drivers aligned in a segmented circular-arc centered in front of a 12-inch woofer. The sound pattern always radiates from the center of the CDL12. The result is Constant Directivity or clear natural music reproduction and articulate speech intelligibility from anywhere in the room or on the field. The listener is never off access from the sound system.

Inside the speaker, is an integrated Class D PDA-1000 amplifier that features onboard DSP presets to facilitate and simplify arrayed configurations. These processing features are unlocked when the CDL12 is connected to a standard LAN network and remotely controlled using Worx Control software (PC or MAC). Worx Control provides speaker-management tools that include compression, limiting, and 800 ms of delay. An 8-band EQ with individually selectable filters (High Pass, Low Pass, High Shelf, Low Shelf, Notch, All Pass, Band Pass) is also provided to compensate for room anomalies. Speakers can be grouped and managed individually or together. Performance monitoring indicators allow you to monitor temperature and signal levels remotely.

The locking Ethernet connection on the CDL12's integrated PDA-1000 power amplifier also provides audio networking capability via Dante. Dante's multi-channel digital media networking technology delivers near-zero latency and synchronization and has been adopted by many pro-audio manufacturers, facilitating the CDL12 loudspeaker's interoperability with a wide range of equipment.
