Crest Audio, a division of Peavey Commercial Audio, has expanded the capabilities of its latest CPL+ loudspeaker series with full support for EASE (Enhanced Acoustic Simulator for Engineers) and CLF2 (Common Loudspeaker Format) data integration. The move gives AV consultants, system designers, and integrators direct access to accurate, manufacturer-verified loudspeaker data for use in predictive acoustic modelling, coverage mapping, and design validation – essential steps in today’s data-driven installation workflow.
The CPL+ range combines tour-grade components, robust cabinetry, and refined voicing to deliver high output, clarity, and reliability in demanding environments. Designed for both fixed installation and mobile reinforcement, the series includes a family of full-range and subwoofer models, offering coverage and configuration options for a wide variety of applications. Now EASE and CLF2-enabled, each CPL+ loudspeaker now ships with comprehensive GLL and CF2 data files, allowing users to perform detailed design simulations within EASE 5, EASE 4, and CLF Viewer, as well as most CLF compatible simulation software, providing:
- 3D balloon and polar plots for precise directivity analysis
- Frequency response and phase plots validated to industry standards
- Comparative overlays to match CPL+ models against other manufacturers
- Accurate SPL coverage and STI mapping when deployed in EASE-modelled venues
“EASE and CLF2 integration ensure that CPL+ is not just powerful in performance, but also predictable in design,” said Christoph Sesseck, Sales Manager for Peavey Commercial Audio (EMEA). “We know that consultants and system designers depend on credible data. Now, they can drop CPL+ straight into their modelling software and trust that what they see in simulation is what they’ll get in the room. The combination of verified acoustic data, robust hardware design, and installation flexibility means our CPL+ loudspeakers can be confidently specified across diverse projects — from high-energy live music venues and auditoriums to corporate AV systems, educational spaces, and leisure environments.”
By supporting both EASE and CLF2, Crest Audio reinforces its commitment to open data standards, empowering consultants to model, compare, and specify CPL+ products with confidence alongside any professional loudspeaker brand. The CPL+ range includes six two-way full-range, two coax, and two column array enclosures, featuring premium low-frequency drivers paired with a high-frequency driver for exceptional clarity and output. Offering a choice of constant-directivity horns or, with selected models, rotatable horns, the series provides optimal pattern control for precise coverage in any environment.
Completing the lineup, a choice of subwoofers delivers high-efficiency low-frequency performance with extended depth and tight, controlled punch. All models are designed for versatility, with flying, pole-mount, and bracket-mount options that make them equally at home in permanent installations or portable sound applications. All enclosures in the range are available in a tough black or white finish, featuring birch plywood construction and integrated rigging points, ensuring durability and easy integration into venues from theatres, clubs, and houses of worship to arenas, stadium concourses, and multipurpose halls.
