OVATION CDX44 Details
Ovation CDX44 Celebrity Deluxe
Multi-soundhole technology made affordable. Using the same unique Ovation Quintad
bracing pattern featured on the more expensive Elite models, here's an entry-level
acoustic/electric that will continue to earn its keep as your playing skills
mature.
Multi-Soundhole Technology
Multiple soundholes in the upper bout allow for more efficient bracing and tone
contouring. This technique has been perfected over the last two decades on guitars
ten times as expensive. Now everyone can own one.
Minimal bracing = Maximum Sound
Ovation's unique Quintad bracing pattern allows maximum top vibration while
maintaining stability. In conjunction with the roundback body, the Celebrity
Deluxe produces a robust sound with plenty of tonal cut.
Think Fast
A bound rosewood fingerboard and a slim 'U' shaped neck make the Celebrity Deluxe
one of the easiest-playing guitars in the business. The frets are hand-dressed
and the action height is set to "Fast."

Output Connections

The XLR jack featured on certain OP-Pro equipped guitars gives you a professional,
balancedline connection to mixers and high-end acoustic amps. The phantom power
capability allows your mixer to power the preamp. Any XLR cable with a ground-to-shell
connection (Ovation P/N 9658-0) is required for the auto power-on function.
A "dummy plug" (Ovation P/N 9659-0) inserted into the 1/4" jack
can be used instead, if the proper XLR cable is not available.
The 1/4" jack on all models provides an unbalanced, line-level connection
to most any amplification system. Inserting a plug into this jack also turns
on the preamp system. Please note that the tuner is functional without any connection.
