Vonyx CCD20 - 8 Inch 1200W Coaxial Compression Driver

Vonyx CCD20 - 8 Inch 1200W Coaxial Compression Driver

The Vonyx CCD20 (902.494) is a high-performance hybrid loudspeaker that redefines clarity and power in professional audio. This innovative 8-inch component integrates a midrange driver with a high-frequency compression driver in a coaxial design, delivering a full-range solution with exceptional sonic accuracy. Designed for the most demanding audio enthusiasts and professionals, the CCD20 combines extreme midrange volume with the clarity and detail of a high-voltage compression driver, achieving wide frequency coverage and superior sound quality.

Built on a robust die-cast aluminum basket, this speaker is designed to eliminate unwanted resonances, ensuring pure, uncolored sound. Its 2.5-inch CCAW (copper-clad aluminum) compression voice coil, along with a powerful 52 oz ferrite magnet, ensures high efficiency and impressive power handling, reaching peaks of up to 1200W. Furthermore, its optimized cooling system allows for stable and reliable performance even during extended and intensive use. Its slim profile design facilitates installation in compact enclosures without sacrificing performance.

Main features

• Hybrid Coaxial Design: Integrates an 8-inch midrange speaker with a compression driver for treble, providing full-range sound from a single point source for superior phase coherence.
• High Power: Capable of handling up to 600W RMS and 1200W peaks, ideal for professional audio applications that demand a high sound pressure level (SPL).
• Robust Construction: The die-cast aluminum basket provides a solid, resonance-free base, enhancing the clarity and accuracy of the sound.
• High Quality Voice Coil: Equipped with a 2.5-inch CCAW compression voice coil for the woofer and a 1.75-inch one for the compression driver, ensuring a fast and detailed response.
• Wide Frequency Range: Offers a frequency response that extends from 70Hz to 20,000Hz, covering most of the audible spectrum with great fidelity.
• Efficient Cooling System: Its design incorporates an optimized cooling system to maintain constant performance and protect the component during long use sessions.

Benefits for the sound professional

The Vonyx CCD20 is designed to simplify sound system setups without compromising quality. By combining two transducers in a single chassis, it reduces installation and crossover complexity. It's the perfect choice for sound engineers and system designers seeking a reliable, high-performance component for PA systems, stage monitors, or custom speaker (DIY) projects requiring clear and powerful vocal and instrumental reproduction.

Use cases

This coaxial compression driver is extremely versatile, making it an ideal choice for a variety of professional applications. Its performance makes it perfect for live sound systems, PA systems, nightclubs, concert halls, and outdoor events. It's also an excellent choice for building high-end custom speaker systems or as a high-quality replacement for upgrading existing speakers, providing a significant improvement in clarity and power.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for it to be a "coaxial" driver?
A coaxial speaker has the tweeter (high-frequency driver) mounted in the center of the woofer (bass/midrange speaker). This design aligns the sound sources, improving sound imaging coherence and providing more even dispersion compared to having separate drivers.

Do I need a specific crossover for this speaker?
Yes, since it's a two-way component (woofer and compression driver), a suitable crossover filter is necessary to separate the frequencies and send them to the correct transducer. This protects the tweeter from low frequencies and ensures optimal performance.

Is it suitable for car audio systems?
Although its rugged design and 8-ohm specifications are more common in professional audio, it could be used in high-power (SPL) car audio projects with the appropriate amplification and processing.
