For small to medium-sized theaters

Biamplified 3-way screen channel loudspeaker

PRODUCT INFORMATION

The CB423MX full-range screen channel loudspeaker system offers small to medium-sized theaters a cost-effective entry to the future of cinema audio – 3-way loudspeaker design. Its passive mid/high design lets it replace existing biamped two-way systems without requiring new electronic crossovers or amplifiers. (Electronic cross- overs may require adjustment.)

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 two component system includes a BV423 15-in low frequency enclosure and an HK523MX mid/high section.

The low frequency enclosure uses optimally tuned enclosure venting to increase LF response while limiting driver excursion. This method produces less distortion and minimizes driver strain while extending LF response to the lowest octaves. The enclosure’s shallow dimen- sion allows convenient placement behind the screen.

The HK523MX MF/HF section features a horn-loaded 10-in cone and a high power 1.4-in exit compression driver loaded with a 90° x 45° coverage pattern constant directivity horn.

The adjustable steel bracket attaching the mid/high section to the LF enclosure can be positioned at one of three mounting points for optimum front/rear placement. The bracket 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 posi- tioned.

The HK523MX's mid and high frequency sections are integrated via

acomplex passive crossover/filter network. EAW's computer-de- signed passive filter networks are tightly aligned to the loudspeak- ers they control and go beyond merely dividing the signal, perform- ing critical equalization functions.

Two-terminal barrier strip input connectors that accommodate bare wire, tinned leads or spade lugs are included for both the LF and mid/ high sections. The input panels are located on the side and top of the enclosures for convenient access in cramped installation areas.

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

CB423MX specifications

The EAW CB423MX represents a sophisticated audio solution engineered for performance in a variety of settings, from concerts to corporate events. This versatile speaker is part of the EAW's esteemed CB series, known for its exceptional sound quality and durability. The CB423MX stands out for its advanced technologies, robust design, and user-friendly features.

One of the primary characteristics of the CB423MX is its dual 12-inch LF drivers, which deliver remarkable low-frequency response, ensuring that the bass sounds rich and powerful. Coupled with a 1.4-inch neodymium HF compression driver, the speaker offers crystal-clear highs, resulting in a well-rounded sound profile. The carefully tuned crossover network seamlessly blends the low and high frequencies, allowing for a smooth audio experience that is ideal for both live music and speech applications.

The cabinet construction of the CB423MX employs high-quality plywood, providing both rigidity and durability. This allows the speaker to withstand the rigors of transport and repeated use while maintaining acoustic performance. The finish is scratch-resistant, and the design includes multiple rigging points, making it easy to integrate into various setups, whether flown or ground-stacked.

EAW's proprietary technologies enhance the overall performance of the CB423MX. The speaker is equipped with advanced thermal management systems to prevent overheating, ensuring reliability even during extended use. Additionally, the speaker's dispersion pattern is meticulously designed to deliver consistent sound coverage across large areas. This makes it particularly effective in larger venues where uniform sound distribution is essential.

Connectivity options are simplified with integrated speakON and binding post connectors, allowing for easy integration with other audio components. The CB423MX is also actively supported by EAW's software tools, providing real-time monitoring and measurement capabilities for sound engineers.

In summary, the EAW CB423MX is designed for professionals who demand high fidelity, versatility, and durability in their audio systems. Its combination of powerful drivers, robust construction, and user-centric features makes it a valuable asset for anyone seeking reliable sound reinforcement solutions in diverse environments.
