The CX896 is a coaxial loudspeaker that provides the output capability of a traditional 8 inch 2-way, horn-loaded-HF loudspeaker, but in a much more compact enclosure. Its coaxial transducer can be rotated in 45° increments, which allows its coverage to be tailored to best suit an application’s requirements. The enclosure’s 30° vertically trapezoidal shape allows mounting very close to ceilings or under balconies with minimal effect on sight lines. Fulcrum Acoustic’s TQ™ processing is an integral part of the CX896 design. Sound, innovative acoustical design combined with state of the art digital processing leads to exceptional clarity and precise transient response, even at very high sound pressure levels. The required digital signal processing can be provided by one of many supported platforms. The CX896’s 90° x 60° high frequency horn is particularly effective for fill systems where targeted pattern control is desirable. In addition, its 16 ohm nominal impedance makes it an excellent solution for high fidelity, foreground distributed systems where a high loudspeaker-to-amplifi er ratio is desirable.
