Details

At A Glance

The d&b audiotechnik CCL8 is a groundbreaking compact cardioid line array loudspeaker designed for exceptional performance in small to mid-sized venues. Engineered with a true cardioid design, the CCL8 minimizes rear sound radiation without the need for additional cabinets, making it ideal for environments where precise control over sound dispersion and stage noise is critical. This passive 2-way speaker features 2 x 7" front LF drivers, 2 x 5" side LF drivers, and 2 x 1.75" HF compression drivers, delivering impressive clarity and punch in a lightweight, unobtrusive form factor. With its flexible rigging options, seamless array integration, and compatibility with d&b’s ArrayCalc and R1 Remote software, the CCL8 offers a powerful, scalable solution for high-quality sound reinforcement.

Description

The CCL8 is a compact cardioid line array loudspeaker for small to medium-scale sound reinforcement.

Owing to the arrangement of the forward and sideward LF drivers in combination with their processing functions, directivity is maintained across the entire operating bandwidth.

The frequency response extends from 62 Hz to above 18 kHz.

When the CCL Flying frame is used, up to 24 cabinets can be flown in vertical columns producing an 80° constant directivity dispersion pattern in the horizontal plane.

The cabinets are 2-way passive designs housing 2 x 7" neodymium forward LF drivers, 2 x 5" neodymium side firing LF drivers and two 1.75" exit HF compression drivers mounted to a dedicated wave shaping device. The cylindrical wave segments of each cabinet couple without gaps and sum up coherently. Splay angles between adjacent cabinets can be set in the range from 0° to 14° in 1° increments.

All components are arranged symmetrically around the center axis of the cabinet to produce a perfect symmetrical dispersion pattern. This setup allows for a crossover design with a well-defined overlap of adjacent frequency bands resulting in a very consistent and accurate horizontal dispersion.

The cabinet enclosure is injection molded (ABS Polycarbonate) and has an impact and weather protected 2K finish. The front and side panels of the cabinet incorporate a rigid metal grill backed by an acoustically transparent and water repellent fabric. Each side panel incorporates a handle while two additional handles are provided at the rear.
