The CCM112 YesMon Monitor is a very compact bi-amplified, self-powered multi-angle wedge/utility monitor that can also be mounted on a pole stand to be used as an extremely size-conscious but powerful main speaker or DJ monitor.

The YesMon features a 12" woofer with a 3" voice coil and a 1.4" exit compression driver also with a 3" voice coil. The high-frequency horn is concentric with the woofer, making it a true point-source cabinet. Both the woofer and tweeter coils share the same magnetic structure to keep size and weight to a minimum. The woofer section is rated for 700 watts of power handling and is powered by a perfectly matched 750 watt amplifier channel which allows for maximum output combined with maximum reliability. The tweeter section is powered by a separate amplifier channel that is capable of another 750 watts. 750 watts is excessive power for a tweeter so the HF section is power limited to match the capabilities of the tweeter diaphragm. This has the advantage of providing more than enough dynamic power headroom to prevent clipping of the tweeter channel as well as leaving the bulk of the 1500W power supply available for the greater demands of the woofer section.

The true point-source nature of the co-axial design results in very consistent sound across the coverage pattern of the speaker. Any speaker that has the tweeter horizontally or vertically adjacent to the mid-frequency driver inevitably produces a very different response as one moves through its coverage area from the tweeter side to the woofer side. This is due to the different distances the sound has to travel to reach either the ears or a microphone. This inconsistency in frequency response will not only mean that the sound heard by the audience or performer will be different depending on where he or she is standing, it can also cause problems with microphone feedback and compromise the clarity of the monitor sound on stage. These common issues have been designed out of the YesMon.

Because the YesMon is a true point-source loudspeaker, the sound heard to the left, right, above and below the speaker is very consistent. For the audience this means better quality sound across the entire listening area. For the performer this means less peaky response and less problems with feedback relative to where the microphone is moved. The main benefit of this is that the monitor can have a smoother, more intelligible response on stage. This results in greater gain before feedback, the benefits of which are that the monitor can be more clearly heard and/or that the monitor can be played more loudly with less chance of feedback problems.

As the tweeter exits through the middle of the woofer, the extra area that the tweeter would ordinarily take up on the front of the loudspeaker is eliminated, making it possible to make the YesMon extremely compact. It's barely bigger than a 12" woofer but it also has a 1.4" throat horn with a 3" voice coil compression driver, a 1500W amplifier and an integrated digital signal processor. It is a fully self-contained product that needs no more than power and signal.

The CCM112 has a 2-channel, 1500-watt class D amplifier with a built in digital signal processor which provides crossover functions for bi-amplified operation as well as a full complement of protections, limiters and equalizers that ensure consistent, accurate and reliable operation. Even though the YesMon is very small and ve
