d&b audiotechnik Unveils CCL System Line Arrays


The CCL System incorporates a revised implementation of d&b's patented cardioid directivity technology, previously exclusive to the SL Series


d&b audiotechnik has announced the launch of the CCL System (Compact Cardioid Line Array), marking the first product release in the new CL Series. This innovative system introduces broadband directivity control with low-frequency cardioid behaviour in a passive design, allowing for single-channel amplifier operation. This represents an industry first in the compact line array category.

At the core of the system are two 7-inch front-firing drivers, two 5-inch side and rear-firing drivers, and two newly designed 1.75-inch high-frequency transducers. This configuration is engineered to achieve an optimal balance of low-frequency and broadband directivity control while maintaining high-frequency clarity and minimal distortion.

The passive nature of the CCL System is designed to streamline both logistical and operational processes. The system requires fewer cabling and amplification resources, making it an efficient choice for mobile applications. Its lightweight and compact form contribute to reduced truck space usage and facilitate easier deployment.

For permanent installations, the system's cardioid low-frequency behaviour is particularly beneficial in improving perceived sound quality in both indoor and outdoor settings. The design also ensures seamless integration into various architectural environments without compromising audio performance.

The CCL System is available in multiple configurations to cater to different use cases. The mobile version (CCL) and the installation-specific version (CCLi) provide tailored solutions for both touring and fixed venue applications. Furthermore, the system is available in two horizontal dispersion options: 80-degree (CCL8) and 120-degree (CCL12), offering flexibility in coverage.

With dimensions of 209 x 593 x 355 mm and a weight of 18 kg, the system is designed for ease of rigging and transportation. Its adaptability makes it suitable for corporate rental services, regional tours, festivals, and large-scale events. It can also be used as a complement to SL Series arrays, functioning as a side- or in-fill component. In permanent installations, it is particularly well-suited for theatres, auditoriums, houses of worship, and acoustically complex venues such as sports arenas and reverberant spaces.

Accompanying the CCL System is the CCL-SUB, a flyable subwoofer designed to integrate seamlessly with both mobile and installation setups. The passive cardioid design of the CCL-SUB features a front-facing 15-inch driver paired with a rear 10-inch driver. This configuration minimises port noise and extends usable bandwidth, particularly when combined with the CCL System in mixed arrays.

Both the CCL System and the CCL-SUB are compatible with d&b audiotechnik's range of amplifiers, including the 40D, D40, D80, and D90 models. These amplifiers can support up to eight loudspeakers per unit in any combination or load condition, delivering full output without any headroom limitations. Additionally, settings are available for the 30D and D20 amplifiers, ensuring broad operational flexibility.

The CCL System is scheduled for release in the first half of 2025. d&b audiotechnik will provide early listening opportunities at industry events such as NAMM and ISE, where attendees can experience the system's capabilities firsthand.

With the introduction of the CCL System, d&b audiotechnik continues its commitment to delivering advanced audio solutions that enhance directivity control, improve efficiency, and expand accessibility to high-performance sound technology across a wider range of applications.
