Martin Audio CDD-LIVE15, Self-powered, 2-way system with a 15 inch Black & White
Martin Audio CDD-LIVE15 has broad coverage that close-up, the Coaxial Differential Dispersion technology employed in the Martin Audio CDD-LIVE 15 that delivers more consistent audience coverage than systems with fixed X° x Y° coverage patterns, and its innovative CDD driver achieves ‘point source’ summation of the LF and HF sections — eliminating off-axis variations in frequency response associated with non-coaxial designs. A self-powered system, the Martin Audio CDD-LIVE 15 incorporates a two-channel Class D amplifier, DSP, and Dante™ digital audio networking — simplifying set-up, enhancing control, and eliminating amplifier racks. The onboard amplifier delivers 2000W LF + 500W HF peak output to the drivers, and its switched-mode power supply auto-ranges to global mains voltages from 100 to 240V 50/60Hz. DSP functions — including parametric EQ, delay, muting, gain, and preset selection — can be controlled over Ethernet from a PC or Windows® tablet via intuitive VU-NET™ proprietary software.
Martin Audio CDD-LIVE15 has a simple set-up, ‘plug-and-play’ presets — as well as a user-defined preset — can be selected on the rear panel, instead of using computer control. As an alternative using the analog inputs, the Martin Audio CDD- LIVE 15 is Dante enabled for digital audio distribution and control over a single CAT5 cable to maintain audio quality however long the cable run. The Martin Audio CDD-LIVE 15 is incredibly versatile. Its multi-angle enclosure can be used in either horizontal or vertical orientation, with the rotation of the driver easily accomplished by removing the screw-free, protective grille. The tour-grade enclosure is constructed from multi-laminate plywood and finished in a hard-wearing polyurea coating. Integral fittings include a top-hat for pole mounting and multiple M8 inserts for attachment to a yoke or universal bracket with a wide range of up and down tilt angles.
