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 set up 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 preorders for a new range.


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 onboard DSP, Class D amplification and Dante™ digital audio networking, with VU-NET compatibility; designed to simplify set-up 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 preorder success.

Featuring a high-specification 12” (300mm) LF/1” (25mm) exit HF Coaxial Differential Dispersion driver, it delivers more consistent audience coverage than a conventional system with a fixed X° x Y° coverage pattern and has wide 110° horizontal coverage close-up. The innovative CDD technology also achieves ‘point source’ summation of the LF and HF sections eliminating off-axis variations in frequency response associated with non-coaxial designs.

A self-powered system, the CDD-LIVE 12 incorporates a two-channel Class D amplifier, DSP and Dante™ digital audio networking simplifying set-up, enhancing control and eliminating amplifier racks. The onboard amplifier delivers 2000W LF + 500W HF peak output to the drivers, and its switched-mode

DSP functions including parametric EQ, delay, muting, gain and preset selection can be controlled over Ethernet from a PC or Windows® tablet via intuitive VU-NET™ proprietary software.

For simple set-ups, ‘plug and play’ presets as well as a user-defined preset can be selected on the rear panel, instead of using computer control. As an alternative to its analogue inputs, the CDD- LIVE 12 is Dante enabled for digital audio distribution and control over a single CAT5 cable to maintain audio quality however long the cable run.

The CDD-LIVE 12 is incredibly versatile. Its multi-angle enclosure can be used in either horizontal or vertical orientation, with rotation of the driver easily accomplished by removing the screw free, protective grille. The tour-grade enclosure is constructed from multi-laminate plywood and finished in a hard-wearing polyurea coating. Integral fittings include a top hat for pole mounting and multiple M8 inserts for attachment to a wallbracket, yoke or universal bracket with a wide range of up and down tilt angles.
