The SC - PreSonus CDL Log: Features Overview! 

Hi John - I tend to agree with you on the no networking for portable set-ups, which is mostly what we do. If we hook up our cabinets to the network, there are definite advantages to that approach as then you can manage the speakers as a group....but it's the work involved in running the cabling. Now if the speakers could connect via wi-fi....that would be the best of both worlds!

Мы очень признательны, что вы нашли время оставить комментарий... Я рад, что мы можем поделиться с вами событиями и оборудованием, которое мы используем для этого. Нам очень повезло, что у нас есть хороший гараж, и мы ничего не принимаем как должное. Удачи вам, и для нас очень важно общаться с людьми по всему миру, которым небезразлично то, что мы делаем. Барт и Стейси.

Will that put you up to 6 total? That's pretty cool that you are all in!

We do too!

We hope to have some gig updates with them soon!

Hey, thanks!

Hi, I need some help can you please help

What do you need? We really aren't able to offer direct support, but maybe offer some direction. For PreSonus gear, there are very helpful support groups with an entire of passionate users willing to help! RU-vid is a wealth of informational videos on just about any topic!@@wyttness6722

I don't know how to ask or should I even ask for it. I also want to start my own sound business in India. But I do not have any capital to start, if you can sponsor me some, only if you can. Please.

Our RU-vid channel is our way of giving back and inspiring others to find their success by doing it their way and owning it's success or failure by setting your own destiny...that's the only way we understand how things work..@@wyttness6722

It just sort of happened out of asking ourselves is there a better solution? And the answer keeps being "no". I talk to to guys that are this'n and that'n and rack'n and cabling...Seriously, who else has a 24 channel mixer in a 2-space? Done... Need lock down mix control? Done...oh, want to record? Done! Nobody does this at their price points! Meanwhile, guys are rackn' and stack'n and feeding the gear monster. Has there been some challenges? Yes, but at the end of the day, they have always stepped up...that's more can be said for some other manufactures leaving customers dry. We truly mean it when we say some of this gear has been our secret weapon....when musicians ask, why do my in-ears sound so good? Why does the system sound so good? Why aren't we getting volume complaints...we always did in the past in this room. We could go on and on...so yes, the PreSonus gear seriously works for us...we don't see a reason to change or go out and buy the new line of sexy brand "X" because everyone else is. End of rant! Just kidding...but we would say this regardless of any relationship with PreSonus.

Ha Ha! PreSonus has treated us well! It's pretty obvious their ecosystem works for us and we have been a long time customer. Since we already owned the CDL 12's, it was nice of them to send us the CDL10P's and Sub18 to check out! More importantly, we want to get the word out. The CDL series has been our secret weapon for the past few years, so it's time to share the word with others!

@@thesoundcouple Very nice you guys deserve all the support you get from companies like PreSonus.

Thank you!@@nscaledelights

Yes...we plan on it!

It is. It took us some time to “trust” this since we work with so many bands running in-ears, but the coverage is there!

Thanks Richard! We hope to be getting some gigs with these soon!

We are flattered for you putting your trust in us...but make sure any gear you buy is the right gear for you!

The cabinet goes down to 42Hz - Depending on the needs, we think these will do great in any small to medium size venues we do.

If the cabinets are rigid enough (most important part) and the material used can mimic the same acoustic properties as wood, you won't be able to hear any difference. The material used and the way the cabinets are designed is what makes the difference. And as usual: Money is the decisive factor in this. That's the shortest version of the story and the best explanation on this topic.

We will try as best we can. Note that comparing the CDL12 (wood) to a CDL10P is not quite the same. We would need a CDL12P to be able to provide a subjective comparison. However, we have heard that comparing the CDL12's series against each other that there are some subtle differences in sound characteristics. This should not be surprising as they are made of two completely different types of material.

@thesoundcouple Noted. But the difference between the CDL12 and CDL12P could also be down to the processing and/or amp module. Time for the guys from @presonus to shed their light on this subject. And maybe we are getting a bit far from the original topic but I do know for sure that a different design amp and/or processing can chance the complete sound of the same speaker. I had that experience when d&b audiotechnik released their D12 with digital amp and processing in 2003. It replaced the P1200(a) which had an analog amp and analog processing. Night and day difference. The same happened albeit on a much smaller scale when the D80 came out.

The specs are identical...but internal components used could vary so we will likely know the full picture unless you took each one apart.@@Richard1977

Thank you! We are really enjoying sharing this info with you!

Would love your thoughts on sound quality differences from the 12”s and current sub setups. Thanks

@mostyles328 And in addition to that: The "clipping problem" as mentioned on other channels. Is it really a problem or just people needing to get to know their gear?

​@@Richard1977 people need to learn gain structure :)

​@Velkus96 I know. But as it has been brought up by some other RU-vidrs I think it's a topic Bart should discuss. For me, as someone who values Bart's opinion, it would be valuable to know if there is an issue or that it's just other people not understanding their gear.

We have considered those. However, we like our gear to serve us across a bigger spectrum of needs. We have our Pecron power distribution, which serves us in multiple ways for portable power...just like these speakers will be used in multiple configuration. Gear that is best for single purpose needs may do that job well, but it takes longer to get your return and it sits idle more.

You're welcome Dean! Yes, we think we are pretty qualified to judge these cabinets. Still remember our first gig with our CDL12's and we have not looked back!

That's great feedback. Honestly, we didn't think about the LCD screen until a couple of comments. Understand, but manageable. Agreed on the Preset 1 & 2. In fact, it didn't hit us until after the comments that our 18s subs have similar functionality with "P1" & "P2" button settings that work just the way you suggested...so at least keep it consistent?? However, with the benefit of having the level attenuator knob right there, we are still not sure why it's even needed...just turn it up or down.

Gracias por tu comentario. No creo que seguir subiendo el volumen de los altavoces sea, en última instancia, la solución. Sin ver cómo ejecuta su sistema, sólo puedo ofrecer algunas sugerencias. Es importante tener una estructura de ganancia adecuada en cada paso de la señal. Si no puede aumentar la ganancia maestra a la unidad, puede intentar reducir la ganancia de entrada en el canal y hacer que el atenuador del canal esté más a la unidad. Luego, a partir de ahí, suba el volumen maestro y finalmente ajuste la ganancia en el CDL a la salida necesaria y vea cómo funciona. Siempre y cuando no escuches distorsión o la luz del clip no esté fija, está bien si parpadea. También sugeriría probar con otro orador como referencia. El objetivo es conseguir que la ganancia de entrada, el atenuador de canal y la salida principal de los altavoces estén en buen equilibrio entre sí. Parece que estás ejecutando los canales y el altavoz con una señal activa. ¡Espero que esto ayude!

Very interesting..thanks for sharing as this would be helpful to others in considering their options.

The pole is the only option which will support up to two (ours is 16"). Between three and six, you need to rigging grid and fly them. Hope this helps!

If you are referring to our "old" subs (18s), they should be pretty similar as the specs are nearly identical (how it's controlled is different) However, the Sub18 is physically larger so we anticipate we will feel more output. PreSonus has stated to us that it will, we just haven't had a chance to see for ourselves.

CDL loudspeakers have voltage ranges of 100-120VAC, or 220-240VAC, 50-60Hz. Check this link for a listing of all of their speakers! www.presonus.com/en-US/loudspeakers/

@@thesoundcouple thank you

Interesting...In the U.S., brands can be more popular around the regions of the country. For example...we see a lot of EV in our area, but they are also headquartered in Minnesota too. We're guessing you will find a lot of PreSonus in Louisiana!
