CPS-14 (64 / 96)

DSP integrated coaxial point source

Two models: CPS-14/64 & CPS-14/96
Extremely compact & powerful 3-way, tri-amplified coaxial point source element. High power 14″ neodymium transducer and a unique 1.4″ exit dual diaphgram coaxial driver.

Two models depending on coverage: CPS-14/64 (60ºH x 40ºV) or CPS-14/96 (90ºH x 60ºV).

The CPS-14 is a high-output extremely compact and extremely powerful 3-way, tri-amplified DSP integrated, symmetrical Coaxial Point Source element designed for touring & fixed installations.

It uses one low distortion 14″ (4″ DUO double layer voice coil) custom speaker for the low frequencies with exclusive Malt Cross cooling technology, FEA optimized neodymium magnet circuit, aluminium demodulating ring and weatherproof cone.

For the mid/high frequencies it uses an ultra light weight 1.4″ dual diaphragm coaxial compression 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 300Hz and 7KHz with a smooth, linear response. The ultra light annular diaphragm for the high frequencies offers exceptional transient response with very high efficiency from 6KHz 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.

The 3000W 3 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 point source systems 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 monitoring and processing of the system, 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.

More features

Hardware for CPS-14 (64 / 96)

Enclosure

The CPS-14 cabinet is constructed from 11-ply premium birch plywood (15mm thickness) and finished with polyurea coating

Internal design

The internal structure of the CPS-14 is heavily braced for greater longevity and all parts are assembled on metal inserts with metric screws. The amplification modules & DSP are housed in a separate chamber to the drivers avoiding excessive heat & vibration, thus delivering greater efficiency and reliability.

Rear panel

The powder coated steel rear panel contains all connections and houses the CPS-14 amplification modules and DSP, is easily accessible and housed separately from the drivers for increased reliability and efficiency

Grill

The CPS-14 has two heavy duty, powder coated front grille with a special acoustic rear fabric to protect the transducers against dust and dirt. The medium frequencies grille uses a magnetic attachment system that can be removed for easy access and rotation of the diffuser.

Handles

The CPS-14 has two ergonomic handles with firm internal grip to facilitate transport, positioning and loading of the cabinets. Both handles are placed at the top and bottom of the cabinet.

DSP configuration

DSP panel configuration

On the back panel of the cabinet you will find the digital control area. From the compact joystick located below the screen you are able to configure the Basic adjustment functions of the internal DSP.

Just move the joystick to select the icons on the left of the screen. You can enter into the following functions: Home, settings, folder, configuration and information. Please note that you must apply the desired configuration in each one cabinet and requires electrical power to work.

If changes are not made the display will automatically dim to avoid unnecessary light in situations where light is not wanted. To re-activate the light simply press the joystick.

The following screens are an example and may vary slightly for each cabinet.

HOME

On the main screen you can see the cabinet’s input and output.

• Input: You can see a vumeter with the input level and a clip signal.

• Output: You have a vumeter with the output level (0 dBu is the amp’s maximum level) You can check the compressor and control the dynamic activity.

SETTINGS

This panel allows you to change the gain, polarity, mute and the delay for the inputs.

You also have the possibility of putting a high pass, changing the type of filter, frequency and order.

FOLDER

The folder screen shows you the name of the preset and its description.

Using the joystick you can change the preset.

CONFIGURATION

This screen is to configurate Ethernet. You can choose automatic or manual. You can also configure the screen saver.

And here you have the input selection. You can choose between analog or AES3 for channel 1 or channel 2.

INFORMATION

The last screen shows you some general information regarding the cabinet’s components.

Here you can see the cabinet model, its serial number, DSP firmware and hardware versions, amp module model with hardware version, as well as the accelerometer status.
