d&b develops innovative compact cardioid line array

The new CCL System of d&B Audiotechnik brings a unique novelty in the compact line array category: Broadband directivity control, with cardioid behavior in low frequencies in a passive design, allowing it to be operated with a single-channel amplifier.

As the first product of the new CL Series, the CCL System includes the revised implementation of the patented design of d&B Audiotechnik to carry the Cardioid Directivity and Electroacoustic Performance (previously only available on SL Series models), to Smaller public areas, with increased installation applications and to a wider range of customers.

At the center of the CCL System are Two 7" engines forward-facing, Two motors 5" sides and rears and Two high-frequency transducers 1.75" with an all-new design.

This Exclusive approach "It cannot be compared to any product present on the market," the company points out- because it combines superior low-frequency quality and wideband directivity control, with exceptional high-frequency dynamic range and minimal distortion".

The CCL System is designed to Reduce infrastructure complexity and costs and requires minimal logistics and implementation work. With a compact and lightweight design, Uses less space in the truck and fewer amplification and wiring resources in Touring Applications (Touring).

In Installation Environments, Low-frequency cardioid behavior dramatically improves perceptible sound quality in both indoor and outdoor venues, while its attractive design blends into any space.

Versatility in enclosures

The CCL System follows the recognized concept of d&b and will be available in both Touring (CCL) as installation (CCLi), as well as versions of Horizontal dispersion 80° (CCL8) and 120° (CCL12).

Their Small (209x593x355 mm) and his lightweight (18 Kg) make it a Versatile and easy-to-assemble solution in Rigging for applications such as corporate rental, local tours or larger festivals and events, in which it can Complement SL Series Arrays how in-fills or fills Side.

For Permanent installations, The CCL System is ideal for theatres, Auditoriums, Places of worship and other types of acoustically demanding spaces, such as sports halls or reverberant rooms.

"d&b audiotechnik remains at the forefront of cardioid speaker system design, he says Santiago Alcalá Baillie, Your Speaker Product Manager-. With the CCL System, we respond to market demand for a compact and lightweight system that brings the unrivalled benefits of cardioid technology to a wider range of applications, and makes our flagship technical solutions accessible to a wider variety of facilities and events.".

In addition, the new one CCL-SUB, one Subwoofer for hanging Available in versions for touring and permanently installed applications, complements the CCL System. Passive cardioid design features a 15" front motor and 10" rear motor configuration.

This subwoofer offers Port noise reduction and expanded bandwidth and usable, especially when implemented in mixed arrangements with the CCL System. Both Can Use with 40D amplifiers, D40, D80 & D90, that support up to eight speakers per amplifier in any combination to deliver a full output level, No dynamic range restrictions. Settings are also available for amplifiers 30D and D20.

The CCL System will be available on the first semester of 2025, Although D&b audiotechnik will be showing it for the first time during this year's trade fair participation NAMM and ISE, where visitors can experience its performance.
