1.1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a PreSonus® CDL-series loudspeaker. The CDL12
utilizes a unique design that takes advantage of Constant Directivity
Loudspeaker (CDL) technology by placing eight 2-inch high-frequency
drivers in a 20˚ constant curvature vertical array, centered in front of a 12-
inch woofer. This allows the CDL12 to radiate sound in a focused directional
pattern with up to 120˚ of vertical coverage when using six boxes rigged
together. The CDL12 is a true hybrid of both point-source and line-array
speaker designs that combine the beneficial elements of both technologies.
The companion CDL18s subwoofer is a 1000W 18” subwoofer with
a 4” voice coil. Fully compatible for all supported suspended and
pole-mounted applications, the CDL18s naturally extends the range
of the CDL12, whether used individually or in an array.
