Clair Brothers 12CX-P-60 loudspeaker has been
designed as an ultimate hi-fidelity, large-format
point source speaker. The frequency response is full
range, 50Hz–16,000Hz, allowing for use for speech
and music reproduction. A stand-out feature of
12CX-P-60 is its innovative horn technology. A coaxial
horn arrangement provides conic constant directivity
pattern control to both the 12” woofer as well as
the 3” voice coil diameter compression driver. The
12CX-P-60 thus features a unique combination of
two horns.
One horn responsible for directing low frequencies
is a precision-machined solid birch plywood horn,
measuring 21” at the mouth. The high frequency horn
is comprised of three sections. The first section is a
solid exponential throat followed by a conic constant
directivity geometry made of heavy gauge perforated
steel. The perforation patterns are geometrically
optimized to allow proper crossover region behavior
over the 60° polar coverage area between the
upper midrange frequencies of the woofer with the
compression driver.

This technology solves the common problem of
horn shadowing with prior coaxial designs. The
high frequency horn seamlessly joins with the low
frequency horn as it extends toward the mouth.
12CX-P-60 is outfitted with two rigging plates
integrated on the cabinet sides, each with one
(1) 3/8”-16 thread, these are the attachment
points for an installation mounting bracket (see
Options).
The 12CX-P-60 is well suited for down-firing
applications, such as large convention centers or
high ceiling commercial spaces. In particular, its
23.5” x 23.5” square front face geometry is ideal for
projecting through typical commercial drop ceilings.
