CLS 28

Lynx Pro Audio

Speaker 2 x 8″ (20cm) 3-Way Active 2800W

DSP integrated coaxial line array

Extremely compact & powerful 3-way, self-powered (2800 W Class-D with PFC), DSP integrated coaxial line array element. Dual high power 8″ neodymium transducers and a unique 8″ dual diaphragm coaxial planar wave driver.

Description

The CLS-28 is a high-output extremely compact and extremely powerful 3-way, self-powered, DSP integrated, symmetrical coaxial line source element designed for medium sized touring & fixed installations.

It uses two low distortion 8” (2.5” DUO copper voice coil) custom speakers for the low frequencies with exclusive Malt Cross cooling technology, FEA optimized neodymium magnet circuit, aluminium demodulating ring and waterproof cone.

For the mid/high frequencies it uses an ultra light 8” dual diaphragm coaxial planar wave driver. The unique voice coil technology employs a light weight copper clad aluminium wire, wound inside and out of the Kapton former to improve heat dissipation, dramatically increasing the acoustic output and reliability of the driver while minimizes the power compression.

The larger annular midrange diaphragm covers the frequency range between 550Hz and 6.3KHz with a smooth, linear response. The ultra light annular diaphragm for the high frequencies offers exceptional transient response with very high efficiency from 6.3KHz to 22Khz. With two subsystems in one each driver covers a smaller frequency range for increased power handling, high dynamic and extremely low distortion and delivers excellent phase coherence & perfect time alignment without problems of multi-source interference. Thanks to the mid range’s extended low bandwith (550Hz) the CLS-28 is able to deliver an unmatched 100º horizontal constant directivity coverage pattern.

The 2800W 2 channel Class-D amplifier with PFC (Power Factor Correction) offers exceptional efficiency with maximum system performance whilst significantly lowering power consumption. With Thermal, short-circuit and overload protections the system module delivers superior sonic performance. Coupled together with our new generation, 64 bit/96KHz processor the system electronics are yet further guaranteed not only the utmost protection but the best performance.

Designed in-house by Lynx Pro Audio engineers our DSP offers the most recent advances in digital processing such as FIR filters delivering a linear phase & frequency response. The latest 32 bit/96KHZ AD/DA converters make the system one of the most advanced & innovative line arrays on the market resulting in pristine sound quality.

A 2.8” IPS user interface is located on the enclosure’s back panel and has multifunction joystick control enabling the user to control, select and/or adjust parameters such as cabinet presets, gain, delay and input EQ (see user manual). Two Ethernet ports enable the system to be controlled with the OCS platform for easier alignment, monitoring and processing of the array and together with the new Rainbow 3D prediction software delivers a complete system design tool.

The enclosure is made from premium grade birch plywood and finished with a polyurea coating for longer durability & weather protection. It also has a number of dedicated accessories available and the 3 point rigging system which includes 2 front automatically rising plates and 1 centre/rear point enables 16 CLS-28 cabinets to be flown in a single array. The system can also be rigged and angled in retracted position enabling a much easier set-up without the need to lift each cabinet individually.
