Description
The d&b audiotechnik CCL8 is a mobile specific compact cardioid line array loudspeaker for small to medium-scale sound reinforcement.
d&b CCL8 Loudspeaker NLT4 F/M
The CCL8 is part of the brand-new CL Series. As you can guess from the name, the CCL8 offers a horizontal dispersion of 80 degrees. Each cabinet weighs 17.6kg and can produce a max SPL of 137 dB.
Output directivity is maintained across the entire operating bandwidth owing to the arrangement of the forward and sideward LF drivers in combination with their processing functions. This Line Array cabinet is a 2-way passive design 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. Users can set Splay angles between adjacent cabinets in the range from 0° to 14° in 1° increments. The frequency response extends from 62 Hz to above 18 kHz.
Amplifiers & comparisons for the CCL8
Any current d&b amplifier can drive the CCL8. This includes the D25, D40, D80 and D90, plus all the installation range versions too. You can drive up to two CCL8 loudspeakers per amplifier channel in Line or Arc modes, or one per channel if using Array Processing.
The CCL8 is the narrower of the line array cabinets in the CL-Series range. The cabinet dimensions are 209 x 593 x 355 mm with a weight of 17.7kg. This makes the CCL a little larger than the T10 but with output characteristics more similar to the Y-Series. The directivity (and clarity) is impressive – very much worth a listen if you have the opportunity.
