Building on the CCL system launched in January 2025, d&b audiotechnik has announced the CCLi Compact Cardioid Line Array with features tailored specifically to the requirements of fixed installation in multi-purpose venues, theatres, houses of worship and clubs.
With compact dimensions (209mm x 593mm x 355mm) and a sleek design, the CCLi is aimed at system integrators, consultants and venue owners looking for an ‘innovative, powerful and subtle installation’ solution. It offers broadband directivity control (down to 60Hz) with low-frequency cardioid behaviour to focus acoustic energy onto intended audience areas. This reduces unwanted low-frequency reflections from the side and rear walls, minimising reverberation in acoustically challenging spaces.
CCLi delivers extended high-frequency headroom and single-channel amplifier operation. It’s unobtrusive design features fewer visible rigging elements, side panels that replace the CCL handles with flush side grilles, and an optional Phoenix Euroblock connector panel with sealed cable gland.
“The CCLi system combines a dedicated install-focused design with advanced d&b technology to provide superior acoustical performance for a wide range of installation projects, ensuring that every word and note is delivered with great precision and power,“ says d&b audiotechnik Product Manager Loudspeakers, Santiago Alcalá. “Another major benefit of CCLi is its budget-friendliness, which is further enhanced when the systems are combined with the new Bi12 ground subwoofers and the recently introduced 25D amplifiers. This makes CCLi more accessible for many smaller venues and spaces.”
The CCLi system is available in 80° and 120° horizontal dispersion models (CCLi8 and CCLi12). As with other d&b loudspeaker systems, the system package includes a range of matching subwoofers, such as a dedicated flying subwoofer (CCLi-Sub), the installation version of the CCL-Sub. A new Bi12 multipurpose passive cardioid ground subwoofer is introduced specifically for installations, and a mobile ground subwoofer version (B12) is also available for the CCL system.
