VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL DEPLOYMENT

CDD speakers are shipped from the factory ready for deployment in vertical – or "portrait" –
orientation. If the installation favours horizontal orientation, the coaxial driver must be rotated
through 90° to maintain the correct dispersion patterns. Inadequate coverage and generally
sub-optimal performance will result from mounting a CDD speaker with the driver incorrectly
orientated.
It can be seen from the above views that the CDD's coaxial driver is not symmetrical. For correct
performance, the driver should always be orientated as shown, with the "butterfly wings" of the
HF driver assembly biased towards the bottom of the enclosure. A graphic can be found on the
rear of the cabinet to confirm the correct orientation:
