PreSonus CDL12P Loudspeaker | Hybrid Line Array and Point Source | 2000W Powered Speaker with 130 dB SPL

PreSonus CDL12P LOUDSPEAKER  (PreSonus CDL12P-LOUDSPEAKER)

Powered Loudspeaker

PreSonus CDL12P is a powered loudspeaker built for mobile sound reinforcement and permanent installations that need high output, controlled coverage, and flexible deployment. By combining point-source convenience with line-array-style pattern control, it delivers consistent SPL, focused directivity, and full-range performance for live bands, DJs, clubs, event halls, houses of worship, and speech applications.

PreSonus CDL12P Competitive Differences

• Hybrid constant-directivity design blends point-source simplicity with line-array-style control for more consistent coverage across the listening area
• Features a 12-inch woofer, eight 2-inch high-mid drivers, 2000W peak Class-D power, onboard DSP, and integrated rigging for scalable portable or installed systems

PreSonus CDL12P Description

The PreSonus CDL12P is designed for users who want the clarity and controlled throw of a constant-directivity array in a portable, self-powered format. Its hybrid design pairs a 12-inch low-frequency woofer with eight 2-inch high-mid drivers to deliver coherent sound with strong pattern control and consistent output across the frequency range. This makes it a strong choice for venues and production teams that need even coverage, strong vocal intelligibility, and high output from a compact enclosure.

With 2000W peak Class-D amplification and a low 420 Hz crossover point, the CDL12P is built to deliver high SPL with fast transient response while helping minimize comb filtering between the low-frequency and high-mid sections. It offers a frequency response of 48 Hz to 18 kHz (-3 dB), extended to 42 Hz to 19 kHz (-10 dB), and can reach a maximum SPL of 130 dB. This gives the speaker the headroom and articulation needed for music playback, live performance, and spoken-word reinforcement in demanding environments.

Deployment flexibility is a major advantage of the PreSonus CDL12P. A 35 mm pole socket with 7.5 degree downward tilt supports use on a tripod or above compatible PreSonus subwoofers, while integrated pin-loaded rigging hardware allows flown arrays of up to six enclosures per side. Additional CDL12P cabinets can extend vertical coverage for larger audience areas, making the system easy to scale for clubs, theaters, event spaces, and houses of worship.

Onboard DSP helps simplify system optimization for real-world use. The speaker includes a 90 Hz high-pass filter, array mode for one to six boxes, sub mode for compatible PreSonus subwoofers, compression, limiting, up to 800 ms of delay, and an 8-band EQ with selectable filter types. Combined with balanced XLR input and output, powerCON connectivity, status LEDs, and a rugged polypropylene enclosure with steel grille, the CDL12P is ready for touring, portable production, and permanent installation.
