The CCX1277 is a coaxial, passive subcardioid loudspeaker that provides 9 dB of low frequency attenuation in the rear hemisphere while still providing the output capability of a normal 2-way system in a much more compact enclosure. Its coaxial transducer and 75° x 75° horn provides effective coverage in situations where traditional 45° and 60° vertical patterns are too narrow. Its coverage pattern is particularly effective from an elevated position, and its vertically trapezoidal enclosure shape allows it to be mounted very close to ceilings with minimal effect on sight lines.
