Martin Audio Compact Coaxial Differential Dispersion 12" Passive 2-Way Speaker, 1200W Peak Power, Single, White

The CDD12 is a compact, passive two-way system designed for installations that require high output levels. Its high specification 12" (300mm) LF /1" exit HF Coaxial Differential Dispersion driver delivers perfect sound across the audience over medium-throw distances.

The Coaxial Differential Dispersion technology employed in the CDD12 delivers more consistent audience coverage than systems with fixed X x Y deg. coverage patterns - projecting relatively more output to the rear of the audience, while having wide horizontal coverage close-up. Its innovative CDD driver achieves point source' summation of the LF and HF sections - eliminating off-axis variations in frequency response associated with non-coaxial designs. Improving on conventional coaxial designs, which can suffer from high-frequency beaming, the driver features a static waveguide that merges seamlessly with the unique cone shape - maintaining the dispersion pattern out to very high frequencies.

The LF driver has a 2.5" (65mm) voice coil and efficient motor with an aluminum demodulating ring to minimize distortion, while the HF driver utilizes a 1.75" (44mm) polyimide diaphragm and features a low-compression phase-plug to reduce non-linearity.

The visually-distinctive composite enclosure can be used in either horizontal (landscape) or vertical (portrait) orientation, with rotation of the driver easily accomplished by removing the screw-free, protective grille. The curved shape of the CDD12 allows it to be surface-mounted close to a wall via an optional wall bracket or suspended from a ceiling by eyebolts or a horizontal yoke option.

A full-range, passive two-way system, the CDD12 may be used without a controller. However, the EQ and limiter functions of a controller such as the Martin Audio DX0.5, DX1.5 or DX2 or an MA Series amplifier with onboard DSP will maximize its capabilities. When used with a CSX subwoofer, crossover and EQ functions can either be performed by the DX0.5, DX1.5 and DX2 system controllers or by an MA Series amplifier with onboard DSP option.
