• Fulcrum Acoustic unveils new range of CCX passive cardioid coaxial loudspeakers

    Fulcrum Acoustic has announced the introduction of two new additions to the company’s CCX range of compact coaxial passive cardioid loudspeakers: the 8in CCX8 series and the 15in CCX15 series.

    The CCX 8in coaxial system is offered in two horn patterns, CCX896 (90°x60°) and CCX826 (120°x60°).

    Like the CCX 12in models, the CCX 15in coaxial system is offered in a full range of five patterns, CCX1595 (90°x45°), CCX1565 (60°x45°), CCX1577 (75°x75°), CCX1500 (100°x 100°) and CCX1526 (120°x60°).

    Their trapezoidal shaped enclosures allow for mounting very close to ceilings, which facilitates acceptance by interior designers and architects. They are targeted at applications such as houses of worship, theaters, restaurants, transportation facilities and theme parks. Other features include mounting brackets, hydrophobic stainless steel rear ports for outdoor applications, and weather resistant and custom color options. Like all Fulcrum Acoustic loudspeakers, the CCX range of loudspeakers are "proudly Made in the USA" [sic].

    “Unlike conventional loudspeakers that trade off low frequency (LF) directional control for compact enclosures, our Passive Cardioid Technology™ enables CCX loudspeakers to achieve unprecedented LF/HF control for products of their size,” explains Fulcrum Acoustic Co-founder and Vice President of R&D David Gunness. “Combining the benefits of this technology with Temporal Equalization (TQ™), single-amplified CCX products deliver impressive LF directional control, improved intelligibility, and enhanced sonic accuracy in lighter and more compact enclosures than those with offset drivers.” Both the CCX 8in and 15in models provide 7dB of LF attenuation in the rear hemisphere.
