1. Features and Specifications
Thank You
Congratulations on the purchase of your new
Matrix loudspeaker. Matrix products are the
result of a collaboration between Designers,
Engineers and Musicians with many decades
of experience in the design and practical in
field application of exceptionally robust,
reliable and ergonomic audio equipment.
This manual will help you to get the most
from your loudspeaker. For maximum
benefit, it is recommended that all
instructions and warnings are carefully read.
Where unsure about anything, please consult
a qualified technician.
For warranty service, please retain your
receipt and all packaging that comes with
the loudspeaker, as it has been specifically
designed to transport the cabinet safely.

1. Features and Specifications:
The CFR 12 is a 12” coaxial, full range loudspeaker cabinet which has been designed for
optimal performance and flexibility within its intended application as a musicians monitor
loudspeaker. It is a passive, un-amplified cabinet, leaving the user free to choose an amplifier.
The design was conceived with considerable consultation with customers and we welcome
any comments and suggestions you may have in our continual quest to bring you the products
you want to use.
Loudspeaker features:
•
Optimised for Guitar Sound Reproduction With Cabinet Simulation Pre-amps.
Also suitable for use for monitoring keyboards, vocals and other sources at the users
discretion.
.
•
Coaxial 12” Driver – Providing a Large and Unchanging Sweet Spot of Sound.
This cabinet contains a coaxial loudspeaker – a single driver incorporating a tweeter
driver and paper cone driver designed specifically to work together into a single, constant
directivity, spherical point source. This offers the unique advantage of of a sound-field which
does not significantly change in tonal characteristic wherever the user chooses to listen to
the cabinet off axis by up to 40 degrees (a total sound-field span of 80 degrees) both
horizontally & vertically. The sound dispersion diagram below illustrates this behaviour.
Cabinet produces a wide sweet spot in both planes for faithful reproduction over a wide area.
•
Multiple Orientation Cabinet Design - May be used as a monitor or upright
cabinet.
The design of the cabinet allows for use as a monitor or as a conventional cabinet
standing upright for applications such as projection into the audience from band backline.
The cabinet orientation diagram below illustrates possible placements.

CFR SERIES USER MANUAL
Cabinet Connectors support the use of 1/4” Jack and Speakon Connections.
To maintain compatibility with system configurations many musicians are familiar with,
the ability to connect to the loudspeaker using 1/4” Jacks is also provided via combination
dual format Speakon connectors.
We would like to recommend however that Speakon connectors are used
where possible for connecting loudspeaker cabinets, as this decreases the
chance of damaging equipment or electrocution through accidental exposure
to the live end of an amplifier output lead, shorting, or connection to line level
inputs.
Loudspeaker Terminal Connections:
For reference only, consult a qualified engineer if cable wiring modifications are required.

2. Mono Loudspeaker Usage:
.
For Mono (single channel applications) connect speaker cabinet to amplifier as shown. Where
chaining additional cabinets to the same amplifier channel is required, the Output Link from the
first cabinet can be used as shown above in grey.
When connecting one or more speakers to an amplifier ensure that the amplifier can handle
the load presented and that the configuration is properly matched for safe and optimal
performance. A Table of recommended combinations is provided on page 6.
If unsure about any aspect of using the the loudspeaker system, then consult with a qualified
audio engineer.
The speaker cabinet is a Mono only device, under NO circumstances attach
multiple amplifier channels to the same cabinets connector block, otherwise poor
performance and damage to equipment being used is likely to occur.
For stereo applications please follow the instructions on the next page, using
two or more speaker cabinets.
Also note that series & series parallel connections cannot be used with this cabinet
due to the presence of an internal crossover splitting the signal for the coaxial
driver; poor performance will result.

CFR SERIES USER MANUAL
3. Stereo Loudspeaker Usage:
For Stereo loudspeaker usage, two or more cabinets are required, connect as shown above.
When multiple cabinets are required on the same amplifier channel, connect additional
loudspeakers as shown on the previous page.
Also note that series & series parallel connections cannot be used with this cabinet due to the
presence of an internal crossover splitting the signal for the coaxial driver; poor performance will
result.
Under NO circumstances connect multiple amplifier channels to the same cabinet !
Irreversible damage to both speaker, amplifier and associated equipment is likely to occur
and is not covered by warranty.

4. Recommended Amplification:
We recommend the use of matrix GT and GM series amplifiers to power the CFR 12
optimally; however other amplifiers maybe used at users discretion.
As a rule of thumb concerning musical instrument use of the cabinet in combination with
an amplifier, a power capacity of up to twice the continuous RMS rating is permissible for solid
state amps; provided the source doesn't maintain a continuous level tone (e.g. some electronic
organs), this allows the cabinet to work at full output without amplifiers clipping readily.
Amplifiers of less than rated minimum power are not recommended as hard clipping
typically present when solid state amps are over driven is likely to damage the loudspeaker.
Valve amplifiers however maybe used at lower power levels as specified below, as they
clip much more softly when over driven, resulting in less stress on the driver than an abused
solid state amplifier. With valves this is done no less to extract the tonal characteristics of valves
driven near their limit. We recommend however that a solid state amplifier is used within its
limits and one of the many excellent cabinet modelling effects units is used to recreate this tonal
effect at any desired volume level, rather than ramping it up to 'eleven'.
