CPS-214
DSP integrated coaxial point source
Extremely compact & powerful 3-way, self-powered (6000 W Class-D with PFC), DSP integrated coaxial point source element. Dual high power 14″ neodymium transducers and a unique 2″ Exit throat (HF 1.75″ voice coil/ MF 3.5″ voice coil) coaxial neodymium compression driver.
Description
The CPS-214 is a high-output extremely compact and extremely powerful 3-way, self-powered, DSP integrated, symmetrical Coaxial Point Source element designed for large sized touring & fixed installations.
It uses two low distortion 14″ (4″ DUO double layer voice coil) custom speakers for the low frequencies with exclusive Malt Cross cooling technology, FEA optimized neodymium magnet circuit, aluminium demodulating ring and weatherproof cone.
For the mid/high frequencies it uses an ultra light weight 2″ exit throat dual diaphragm coaxial compression driver. The unique voice coil technology employs a light weight copper clad aluminium wire, wound inside and out of the Kapton former to improve heat dissipation, dramatically increasing the acoustic output and reliability of the driver while minimizes the power compression.
The larger annular midrange diaphragm covers the frequency range between 300Hz and 7KHz with a smooth, linear response. The ultra light annular diaphragm for the high frequencies offers exceptional transient response with very high efficiency from 6KHz to 22Khz. With two subsystems in one each driver covers a smaller frequency range for increased power handling, high dynamic and extremely low distortion and delivers excellent phase coherence & perfect time alignment without problems of multi-source interference.
The 6000W 2 channel Class-D amplifier with PFC (Power Factor Correction) offers exceptional efficiency with maximum system performance whilst significantly lowering power consumption. With Thermal, short-circuit and overload protections the system module delivers superior sonic performance. Coupled together with our new generation, 64 bit/96KHz processor the system electronics are yet further guaranteed not only the utmost protection but the best performance.
Designed in-house by Lynx Pro Audio engineers our DSP offers the most recent advances in digital processing such as FIR filters delivering a linear phase & frequency response. The latest 32 bit/96KHZ AD/DA converters make the system one of the most advanced & innovative point source systems on the market resulting in pristine sound quality.
A 2.8″ IPS user interface is located on the enclosure’s back panel and has multifunction joystick control enabling the user to control, select and/or adjust parameters such as cabinet presets, gain, delay and input EQ (see user manual). Two Ethernet ports enable the system to be controlled with the OCS platform for easier alignment, monitoring and processing of the cabinet together with the new Rainbow 3D prediction software delivers a complete system design tool.
The enclosure is made from premium grade birch plywood and finished with a polyurea coating for longer durability & weather protection.

DSP configuration
DSP configurationDSP module configuration panel
On the back pannel of the cabinet you will find the digital control area. From the compact joystick located below the screen you are able to configure the basic adjustment functions of the internal DSP.
Just move the joystick to select the icons on the left of the screen. You can enter into the following functions: Home, settings, folder, configuration and information. Please note that you must apply the desired configuration in each one cabinet and requires electrical power to work.
If changes are not made the display will automatically dim to avoid unnecessary light in situations where light is not wanted. To re-activate the light simply press the joystick.
The following screens are an example and may vary slightly for each cabinet.
Configuration panel:
 | HOME On the main screen you can see the cabinet’s input and output: • Input: You can see a vumeter with the input level and a clip signal. • Output: You have a vumeter with the output level (0 dBu is the amp’s maximum level) You can check the compressor and control the dynamic activity. |
 | SETTINGS This panel allows you to change the gain, polarity, mute and the delay for the inputs. You also have the possibility of putting a high pass, changing the type of filter, frequency and order. |
 | FOLDER The folder screen shows you the name of the preset and its description. Using the joystick you can change the preset. |
 | CONFIGURATION This screen is to configurate Ethernet. You can choose automatic or manual. You can also configure the screen saver. And here you have the input selection. You can choose between analog or AES3 for channel 1 or channel 2. |
 | INFORMATION The last screen shows you some general information regarding the cabinet’s components. Here you can see the cabinet model, its serial number, DSP firmware and hardware versions, amp module model with hardware version, as well as the accelerometer status. |
