Until now, most self powered portable loudspeakers have been underpowered, light duty systems or very high end systems out of reach of many users. Now, with the multi purpose CDD-LIVE! Series, Martin Audio brings everything rental companies, system integrators and musicians require from a self powered loudspeaker into sharp focus

Comprising three full range models and two subwoofers, CDD-LIVE! covers practically all professional stand-alone and distributed applications from sound reinforcement and monitoring for live bands, DJ’s and corporate events, to installations in dance clubs, ballrooms, theatres and performing arts centres.

Combining the ‘point source’ benefits of coaxial designs with the consistent coverage of Differential Dispersion technology, CDD-LIVE! full range systems project sound evenly front to back while exhibiting wide horizontal coverage close to the speaker delivering ultimate fidelity and impact to all corners of the audience.

Onboard Class D amplification, DSP and Dante™ Digital Audio networking assure simplicity of stage setup and efficient installation, while tour grade enclosures and comprehensive mounting options including pole mount, wall brackets, yokes and rigging inserts provide maximum flexibility in deployment.

With sonic consistency across the range, a rectangular coverage footprint and a multitude of deployment options, CDD-LIVE! is truly versatile the professional self powered solution that means business.

5 Reasons for Rental Companies or System Integrators to Consider CDD-LIVE!


Already an award winner and earning plaudits by everyone that listens to the series, CDD-LIVE! has now secured our strongest ever pre orders for a new range.
Here are 5 reasons to consider CDD-LIVE!


1.They sound great

That’s an easy statement that gets bandied around a lot we know, but visitors to our demonstrations consistently remark upon the clarity, nuance and power of the individual boxes.

2. Frequency response and consistency

The Patented Coaxial Differential Dispersion system produces a rectangular coverage pattern to reach all corners of the audience, and wide horizontal coverage is achieved very close to the loudspeaker. Walking the room, the consistency in frequency response and SPL both close to the loudspeaker and further back is exceptional.

3. Fewer speakers are required

The unique dispersion pattern means that speakers can be spaced further apart and so in certain live or install environments fewer boxes maybe required to do the same job or better job.

4. Simplicity of setup / Improved control

Each CDD-LIVE! system incorporates a powerful electronics module with on board DSP, Class D amplification and Dante™ digital audio networking, with VU-NET compatibility; designed to simplify setup or installation, enhance control and eliminate amplifier racks.

5. Value for money / Rapid ROI

On hearing the price of the speakers given their overall performance, features and benefits, has been a significant reason for the pre order success
