TOWER LCC44

Cardioid Column Line Array Enclosure

Figure  1. LCC44 with Tower Rigging System (left), 
and without.

Tower LCC44 is a cardioid line array element featuring designed to be 
compact, high powered and array-able. The enclosure features Clarity 
Technology©,  a  proprietary  high  frequency  technology  built  around 
four  coaxial  transducers  each  composed  of  a  4"  cone  driver  and  a 
compression  driver.  The  enclosure  provides  120°  horizontal  coverage 
on  axis.  Three  additional  rear  4"  full-range  transducers  allow  the  unit 
to  provide  a  cardioid  dispersion  pattern  with  -20  dB  rear  cancellation. 
The  Towers  can  be  deployed  independently  or  combined  using  the 
proprietary Tower Rigging System to create long column arrays. Each 
LCC44 unit requires two amplifier channels operating with a dedicated 
DSP preset in order to achieve the cardioid dispersion pattern.
