US company Cohesion has launched two fill loudspeakers, completing the line-up of its CF Series. The new CF28 and CF14 join the CF24 and CF10.
The CF14 and the CF10 parallel the sonic signature of Cohesion’s CM14 stage monitor. Both are constructed with a rotatable woofer and horn, suitable for mounting on a pole or wall, and pair with yoke or U-bracket accessories. Offered in four form factors, the new models have been engineered with an emphasis on flexibility, with challenging deployments and installations in mind. They are intended for applications ranging from large-scale aspirational productions to corporate keynotes, and permanent installations in as theatres and houses of worship.
‘The products hearken to our touring lineage but we’re also covering a wide range of special events and distributed events that require a larger selection of products that offer unique capabilities,’ says of Clair Global Product Division President, Jeff Rocha. ‘Every product has an obvious role and is capable of doing things the others wouldn’t.’
The CF24, the smallest format in the CF Series, can be installed flush in the depth of a stud wall or the height of a stair riser, and is lightweight, portable and adaptable enough for use as a point-source loudspeaker. It can be tucked in and around trusses, railings, and stair treads, or mounted on a microphone stand or in a yoke. The CF24 engineered to achieve high frequency pattern control and smooth coverage with enough low end for vocals and acoustic instruments to sound natural.
The CF28 is the largest in the CF Series, featuring two 8-inch drivers and a central, rotatable horn. Initially imagined as a very high output front fill, it can be used as a main in a distributed system or as an under-balcony product. Its development was prompted by users requesting a product with dimensions similar to the self-powered Cohesion CP6+ fill speaker, but with more output. The CF28 claims the output of a small-format line array but with directivity, dimensions, and handling characteristics of a front fill speaker.
While the CF14 modifies the CM14 cabinet design for greater flexibility, the CF10 has the natural topology to start with the pre-existing 14-inch coaxial of the CM14 shrinks this topology to a 10-inch cabinet. The high-frequency component in the CF14 and CF10 is the same, giving consistent voicing across a system using these speakers and other Cohesion products.
‘The CF Series outshines the competition in terms of loudness per dollar spent, delivering unparalleled performance that seamlessly integrates into tight architectural constraints while being budget-friendly,’ says Gino Pellicano, Lead Application Engineer of Integration. ‘It’s the clear winner in these categories, offering an unbeatable combination of quality and affordability.’
‘These products are engineered – not only their performance capabilities from an acoustical sense, but also handling dynamics and their ease to deploy or to strike – with production professionals in mind and a profound understanding of what a day in the life is like,’ Rocha adds. ‘We’re developing products like the CF family for the best production professionals in the world, and we take that responsibility seriously. We owe it to them.’
The full Cohesion CF Series, alongside CO Series line arrays, are available for rent through Clair Global.
