Fulcrum Acoustic has announced their latest innovative product, the CCX1295 single 12-Inch Subcardioid Coaxial Loudspeaker, expanding its range of high-performance installation solutions. Unlike conventional loudspeakers that trade off low frequency (LF) directional control for compact enclosures, Fulcrum's Passive Cardioid Technology enables the CCX1295 to achieve unprecedented LF/HF control for a product of its size.

Fulcrum Acoustic has announced the appointment of Nathan Butler to the newly-created position of Director of Engineering. Butler is a professional audio industry veteran with over twenty years of experience in both theoretical and hands-on audio-related principles. He joins Fulcrum after serving as Director of Engineering for Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW) for the past five and a half years. Previously, he held Principal Engineer and Senior Design Engineer positions at EAW for more than a decade.

Fulcrum Acoustic consistently delivers high-performance professional loudspeaker technologies and InfoComm 2016 was another opportunity for the company to demonstrate new designs. This time, David Gunness and team have introduced the CS118 Subcardioid Subwoofer module. The C118 incorporates Fulcrum’s patent-pending Passive Cardioid Technology to effectively reduce excessive rear LF radiation without requiring additional amplifier channels or additional transducers to control low frequencies.

Creators of high-performance professional loudspeaker technologies, Fulcrum Acoustic have introduced the FLS115 Subcardioid Subwoofer. A powerful complement to its companion FL283 Subcardioid Line Array, the FLS115 is ideal for the most demanding venues, including performing arts centers, houses of worship, sporting facilities, and nightclubs.

At InfoComm 2015, Fulcrum Acoustic launched an important addition to the company’s rapidly expanding product line, the FL283 line array module. This new line array design from David Gunness features a passive cardioid configuration to counteract low frequency radiation from the rear of the array.
