Fulcrum Acoustics announced the launch of its newest product line: CCX12 12-Inch Subcardioid Coaxial Loudspeakers. They join the CCX1295 (90 x 45 degree) announced last summer. The line now features a full range of horn patterns for a wide range of applications. New models include the CCX1265 (60 x 45 degrees), CCX1277 (75 x 75 degrees), CCX1200 (100 x 100 degrees) and CCX1226 (120 x 60 degrees). The CCX12 product family marks the first application of Fulcrum’s Passive Cardioid Technology in their extensive TQ Install line of loudspeakers. CCX12 loudspeakers provide 9 dB of low frequency attenuation in the rear hemisphere without requiring additional cancellation drivers, amplifiers or signal processing channels.

“Unlike conventional loudspeakers that trade off low frequency (LF) directional control for compact enclosures, our Passive Cardioid Technology™ enables CCX12 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 CCX12 products deliver impressive LF directional control, improved intelligibility, enhanced sonic accuracy, and the output capability and pattern control of normal premium 2-way systems in considerably lighter and more compact enclosures than those with offset drivers.”
CCX12 subcardioid coaxial loudspeakers are particularly effective for high-fidelity, foreground distributed systems, as well as for systems requiring targeted pattern control. Their unique trapezoidal shaped enclosures allow for mounting very close to ceilings with minimal effect on sight lines, which facilitates acceptance by interior designers and architects.
