Presonus - CDL10P

The CDL10P from PreSonus is based on a segmented arc of 6 x 2-inch drivers dedicated to high frequencies, aligned in front of a 10-inch woofer to maintain a common acoustic axis. This concentric organisation enables the speaker to maintain a stable, legible response, both on and off axis, with 120 degrees of horizontal coverage. The result is a smooth, pleasant soundstage, even when the room imposes sometimes capricious angles.

In the CDL10P, the internal crossover setting at 420 Hz plays a key role in the feeling of fluidity experienced when listening. This frequency naturally limits comb filtering between several stacked speakers, maintaining a smooth, coherent low-midrange response.

Transients become clearer, vocals remain legible and instruments find their place without unnecessary masking. This approach results in a balanced musical reproduction, designed to last without auditory fatigue.

The CDL10P's integrated Class D amplification delivers 500 x 500 W, intelligently distributed across the speaker voice coils. This distribution reduces power compression and stabilises the phase response, even at sustained sound pressure levels. The listening experience remains clean, controlled and surprisingly comfortable for a loudspeaker in this category.

PreSonus has incorporated an internal DSP designed to simplify the implementation of array configurations. On-board presets make it easy to align from 1 to 6 speakers, while adapting behaviour according to use with or without a subwoofer. The 90 Hz high-pass filter refines the transition to bass, while dedicated Sub modes ensure immediate consistency with compatible models.

This on-board intelligence saves time during installation. It also allows you to concentrate on the essentials, namely the diffusion and balance of the system.
