Description

The CM38 is a high-performance, low-profile stage monitor with a passive three-way system that generates a cardioid directivity pattern. It is equipped with two 8" tetracoil woofers, plus a central 8" coaxial transducer with a 3" voice coil for the low-frequency element and a 2" voice coil for the high-frequency element. Its progressive horn design offers excellent coherence of attenuation over distance between the high end and the low end of the spectrum. This creates a diffusion pattern that goes from 80° for a listener standing near or above the monitor, down to 40° as it throws far across the stage. The CM38 has passive cardioid behavior, which means it musically cancels about 8 dB of mid-low frequencies on the sides and behind the speaker in its off-axis response. This is ideal to reduce polluted sound on stage and aim the energy to the most needed spots. It results in a cleaner sound environment past the monitor and also maintains its pronounced high frequency towards the sides of the monitor. Thanks to a non-resonant chamber, the low-, mid-, and high-frequency components work together in optimal conditions to deliver a tight, punchy sound and clear intelligibility to the listener while achieving outstanding SPL with respect to its size. The CM38’s robust build standing at only 8” off the stage features a recessed connection panel to maintain a clean look. The CM38 has an included hidden bracket that allows for flush ceiling or wall mounting presenting a sleek fit and finish in other applications.
