TOWER LCC44
Cardioid Column Line Array Enclosure
Figure 1. LCC44 with Tower Rigging System (left),
and without.
Tower LCC44 is a cardioid line array element featuring designed to be
compact, high powered and array-able. The enclosure features Clarity
Technology©, a proprietary high frequency technology built around
four coaxial transducers each composed of a 4" cone driver and a
compression driver. The enclosure provides 120° horizontal coverage
on axis. Three additional rear 4" full-range transducers allow the unit
to provide a cardioid dispersion pattern with -20 dB rear cancellation.
The Towers can be deployed independently or combined using the
proprietary Tower Rigging System to create long column arrays. Each
LCC44 unit requires two amplifier channels operating with a dedicated
DSP preset in order to achieve the cardioid dispersion pattern.

deployment in which satellite enclosures are mounted on top of the
subwoofers. The outriggers have screw-adjustable feet for leveling the
subwoofer. Two of the outriggers extend forward at 50° to provide
extended stability at the front of the cabinet, while the other two are
angled at 90°. The outriggers are ideal for applications in which the subs
are in an environment where people could bump into them or lean on
them. The outriggers are made of zinc plated steel with a black or white
powder coating.
The kit includes:
•4 fully assembled outriggers with rubber feet attached
