Fulcrum Acoustic CCS18

The CCS18 is the companion subwoofer to CC Series Constant Curvature

loudspeakers, sharing the same profile and rigging hardware for easy array integration. It includes a single, high power 18 inch direct-radiating woofer in a compact enclosure. Link bar kits allow creation of mixed subwoofer/full-range arrays or subwoofer-only arrays. A bespoke yoke bracket facilitates mounting single enclosures to ceilings or similar structure above.

The CCS18 incorporates Fulcrum’s Passive Cardioid Technology™. Unlike

active cardioid loudspeakers, passive cardioid technology does not require

an additional amplifier channel or additional enclosure volume to achieve

its impressive low frequency directional control. The subcardioid behaviour is produced by a meticulously conceived acoustical circuit which balances the loading of the low frequency driver, the enclosure depth and volume, and specially constructed side-mounted ports which include a calibrated resistive element. By opting for a subcardioid pattern as opposed to a pure, hyper or super cardioid pattern, the rear rejection increases when the modules are deployed in a subwoofer array.

Proprietary TQ™ Processing DSP technology delivers crystal-clear audio

across all frequencies. TQ Processing is compatible with a wide range of

DSP and amplifier platforms, offering system design flexibility.

When used with Driveflex amplifiers and Fulcrum One software, CCS18

subwoofers are modeled, optimized, deployed, and controlled as part

of an integrated system with CC Series full range loudspeakers. TQ

presets and limiters are automatically applied, including advanced array

limiter protection. The Optimisation function in Fulcrum One adjusts

array behavior to extend and smooth coverage across listening areas

and enables custom voicing profiles. These parameters are automatically

loaded into connected Driveflex amplifiers, which are managed through

Fulcrum One software. This integrated workflow simplifies setup and

maintains consistent performance across the array.d into connected Driveflex amplifiers, which are managed through Fulcrum One software. This integrated workflow simplifies setup and maintains consistent performance across the array.
