AT 2009 InfoComm in Orlando, Fulcrum Acoustic debuted the CX/DX family of loudspeakers, the first of the TQ Install Series. Eight different products, all based on coaxial designs, provide 90- x 45-degree or 60- x 45-degree horn patterns and 12-inch or 15-inch woofers. A newly designed coaxial transducer/horn assembly, along with TQ processing, alleviates the problems previously associated with coaxial approaches. For example, the CX1595 is a coaxial loudspeaker that packs the output capability of a non-coaxial 15 inch, horn-loaded-HF…
