The homogeneous phase response, the remarkably wide dynamic range and the BEM (Boundary Element Method)-optimized high-frequency horn form the basis for a strikingly detailed resolution, a very precise dispersion pattern and simple clustering. For symmetrical monitor arrangements, the CX 12 is available in both left and right cabinet versions. It is suitable for a range of areas of application, from full-range to close-range sound applications with high SPL requirements to applications as an FoH mid-high unit, frontfill, sidefill or drumfill, as well as monitoring on large stages.
