Martin Audio CDD5 5" 2-Way Passive Ultra-Compact Coaxial Differential Dispersion Speaker with 70V/100V Line Transformer, 400W Peak Power, Black

The CDD5TX is a two-way passive micro speaker incorporating a 70V/100V line transformer and designed for discreet positioning in architectural installations - including bars, museums, foyers, concourses, exhibition centres and HoW. It features a unique, patent-pending 5" (125mm) LF/0.7" (19mm) HF Coaxial Differential Dispersion driver in a rigid ABS molded enclosure and is supplied with a dedicated omni-directional mounting bracket.

The Coaxial Differential Dispersion technology employed in the CDD5TX delivers more consistent audience coverage than systems with fixed Xdeg. x Ydeg. coverage patterns - projecting relatively more output to the rear of the audience to distribute sound evenly front-to-back, 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 in the crossover region 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 visually-distinctive 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 enclosure allows it to be surface-mounted close to a wall or ceiling by means of the supplied omni-directional bracket or an optional close-mount ceiling bracket. A full-range, passive two-way system, the CDD5TX 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.
