CDD-LIVE!

The Martin Audio CDD-Live! Series delivers powerful, self-powered coaxial loudspeakers engineered for pro audio applications—whether it's touring events or permanent installs. Featuring Coaxial Differential Dispersion™ tech, these speakers offer uniform, high-fidelity coverage while simplifying setup with onboard Class D amplification, DSP, and Dante™ audio networking—no separate racks or amps needed.

Models include the 8" (CDD‑Live! 8), 12" (CDD‑Live! 12), and 15" (CDD‑Live! 15) systems, each built into rugged, tour-grade plywood cabinets coated with polyurea. With user-rotatable drivers, IP24 protection (with rain cowl), and a suite of mounting options, these speakers adapt to virtually any stage, venue, or front-of-house situation.
