APPLICATION

•For small theaters

•Biamplified 3-way screen channel loudspeaker

PRODUCT INFORMATION

The CB153 full-range screen channel loudspeaker system offers small theaters cost-effective access to the future of cinema audio – 3-way loudspeaker design. Its passive mid/high biamplified design lets it replace existing biamped two-way systems without requiring new electronic crossovers or amplifiers. (Electronic crossovers settings may need to be adjusted.)

The two component system consists of a BV154C low frequency enclosure and an HK153 passive mid/high system.

Three-way design dramatically advances cinema audio quality by improving the naturalness and intelligibility of dialog, eliminating distortion from excessive driver excursion and extending pattern control into the lower octaves.

The HK153 features an 8-in MF cone transducer and a 1-in exit high frequency compression driver loaded with EAW’s patented WGP® waveguide.

The BV154C’s optimally vented enclosure uses the enclosure's resonance to increase LF response while limiting the single 15-in cone transducer's excursion. This method produces less distortion and minimizes driver strain while extending LF response to the lowest octaves.

Its asymmetrical enclosure design smooths response in the LF component's upper register and minimizes the potential for standing waves inside the enclosure. Left and right side enclosures can be placed flush to a back wall while still focusing their output to the audience area. The enclosure can be inverted to provide a right or left-handed angle.

The LF enclosure has 2 mounting points to allow optimum front/rear positioning of the mid/high component. The adjustable steel bracket attaching the mid/high component to the LF enclosure allows the mid/high section to be aimed independently of the LF section in both the horizontal and vertical planes and can be locked once it is positioned.

The LF and MF/HF sections include 2-terminal barrier strips which accomodate bare wire, tinned leads or spade lugs. The input panels are located on the sides of the enclosures for convenient access in cramped installation areas.

All external components feature a textured black finish to eliminate the reflection of light through perforated cinema screens.

CB153, CINEMA Series specifications

The EAW CINEMA Series, specifically the CB153 model, represents a significant advancement in cinema audio technology, designed to enhance the auditory experience in commercial theatres and venues seeking exceptional sound quality. This high-performance loudspeaker is engineered to deliver superior clarity and power while maintaining fidelity across a range of frequencies, ensuring that every detail of a film's audio is presented accurately.

One of the main features of the CB153 is its three-way design, which includes a 15-inch low-frequency woofer, dual 6.5-inch midrange drivers, and a 1.5-inch compression driver. This configuration allows the system to effectively reproduce a wide spectrum of sound, from deep bass to crisp highs, making it perfect for cinematic applications where dialogue, effects, and music must be delivered with precision.

The CB153 utilizes advanced technologies like the patented EAW Focusing which allows the system to optimize the frequency response. This technology helps in creating a more uniform sound field throughout the theatre, ensuring that every seat receives an equally immersive audio experience. Adding to its effectiveness is the use of a sophisticated passive crossover network that minimizes phase distortion, providing an even clearer soundstage.

In terms of build quality, the CB153 is designed with durability in mind. Its robust construction includes high-quality materials that can withstand the rigors of high-performance environments. The loudspeaker is also finished with a sleek, professional appearance that can seamlessly blend into various cinema designs.

Yet another defining characteristic of the CB153 is its versatility in deployment. It can be used in a variety of configurations, whether in arrays for larger auditoriums or as standalone units in smaller spaces. This adaptability makes it a valuable asset for theatres looking to customize their audio setup based on specific requirements or venue acoustics.

Connectivity options further enhance its appeal, featuring options that allow for easy integration into existing sound systems. With its combination of innovative technologies and thoughtful design, the EAW CINEMA Series CB153 stands out as a top choice for venues aiming to deliver an unmatched cinematic audio experience. Whether it's for blockbuster films or intimate screenings, the CB153 ensures that every audience member is transported into the heart of the story.
