Martin Audio CDD8B 8" Passive Coaxial Differential Dispersion Loudspeaker
The Martin Audio CDD8B is a compact, high-performance passive two-way loudspeaker designed for exceptional audio clarity and consistent coverage in installed sound applications. Featuring an 8" low-frequency driver and a 1" high-frequency compression driver in a coaxial differential dispersion configuration, the CDD8B delivers uniform sound distribution across both near and far listening areas.
Its innovative driver design ensures point-source summation of LF and HF signals, minimizing off-axis frequency response issues common in traditional coaxial systems. The result is enhanced intelligibility and natural sound reproduction, ideal for bars, restaurants, retail spaces, houses of worship, and conference venues.
The elegant curved enclosure, finished in black, supports both horizontal and vertical mounting, with a rotatable driver for optimal orientation. Built for durability and ease of installation, the CDD8B integrates seamlessly into modern architectural environments while maintaining a discreet profile.
For optimal performance and system protection, the CDD8B is recommended for use with Martin Audio DX4.0 controllers or iKON amplifiers, which provide advanced DSP and FIR presets.
