Introducing the PreSonus CDL10P constant directivity loudspeaker

A lighter weight version of the CDL12P, this speaker delivers all the same constant-directivity performance but with a design that’s ideal for touring bands and mobile DJs who want the same scalability and sonic performance in portable design.

Developed from years of research and development, combining the best attributes of point source and line array technology into a unique patent-ending design. You get a clear, articulate speech intelligibility and natural music reproduction thanks to its highly focused pattern with consistent SPL throughout the frequency response range, both-on and off axis.

The CDL10P's hybrid point-source/line-array design delivers focused sound with consistent SPL coverage both on- and off-axis, making it an excellent choice for mobile and installed applications. Rigging CDL10P enclosures is made easier thanks to integrated pin-loaded rigging hardware. A dual-angle pole mount is provided, supporting the use of one or two enclosures when pole-mounted. The CDL10P's integrated 500W x 500W Class D power amplifier features onboard DSP presets to facilitate and simplify arrayed configurations.

Constant Directivity Design

Each CDL10P consists of 6 2-inch drivers aligned in a segmented, circular-arc, HF array centred in front of a 10-inch woofer. The output of the LF driver travels from the same acoustic axis as the HF array so the pattern always radiates from the centre. This avoids near-field anomalies and makes the CDL10P ideal for a broad range of venue sizes.

More About the CDL10P’s HF Driver Array

The 2-inch cones’ fast transient response is matched for high- and mid-range reproduction. This is enhanced by setting the internal crossover to 420 Hz, so the CDL10P reproduces audio seamlessly, with no gaps at the heart of the musical range. This also minimizes comb filtering between 10-inch bass drivers in an array for a smooth low-mid response.

CDL10P Power Amplification

Each 2-inch speaker in the high-frequency driver array has a 1-inch voice coil, and the entire array is driven by a 500W Class D amplifier. Because the power is shared across six voice coils, power compression is reduced, resulting in an efficient design and a flatter phase response for less fatiguing listening and a refined, balanced sound.
