Crest Audio, a division of Peavey Commercial Audio, has expanded the capabilities of its CPL+ loudspeaker series with full EASE (Enhanced Acoustic Simulator for Engineers) and CLF2 (Common Loudspeaker Format) data integration.
The move gives A/V consultants, system designers and integrators access to accurate, manufacturer-verified loudspeaker data for use in predictive acoustic modelling, coverage mapping, and design validation. Now EASE and CLF2-enabled, each CPL+ loudspeaker ships with comprehensive GLL and CF2 data files, allowing users to perform detailed design simulations within EASE 5, EASE 4 and CLF Viewer, as well as most CLF compatible simulation software, providing 3D balloon and polar plots for directivity analysis, frequency response and phase plots validated to industry standards, comparative overlays to match CPL+ models against other manufacturers, and accurate SPL coverage and STI mapping when deployed in EASE-modelled venues.
‘EASE and CLF2 integration ensures that CPL+ is not just powerful in performance, but also predictable in design,’ says Christoph Sesseck, Sales Manager for Peavey Commercial Audio (EMEA). ‘We know that consultants and system designers depend on credible data. Now, they can drop CPL+ straight into their modelling software and trust that what they see in simulation is what they’ll get in the room.
‘The combination of verified acoustic data, robust hardware design, and installation flexibility means our CPL+ loudspeakers can be confidently specified across diverse projects, from high-energy live music venues and auditoriums to corporate A/V systems, educational spaces, and leisure environments.’
By supporting both EASE and CLF2, Crest Audio reinforces its commitment to open data standards, empowering consultants to model, compare, and specify CPL+ products with confidence alongside any professional loudspeaker brand.
Intended for use in venues from theatres, clubs, and houses of worship to arenas, stadium concourses, and multipurpose halls, the CPL+ range includes six two-way full-range, two coax and two column array enclosures, featuring low-frequency drivers paired with a high-frequency driver, with a choice of constant-directivity horns or, with selected models, rotatable horns. A choice of subwoofers offers high-efficiency low-frequency performance with extended depth and punch. All models are designed for versatility, with flying, pole-mount, and bracket-mount options that make them equally at home in permanent installations or portable sound applications. All enclosures are available in black or white finish, with birch plywood construction and integrated rigging points.
