PRODUCT INFORMATION

The CR58 two-way, passive, full range cinema surround loudspeaker system is engineered to reproduce today’s stereo full bandwidth digital surround tracks from wall mounted positions high above the audience. It features a 15-in woofer and a 1-in exit compression driver loaded with a wide dispersion constant directivity horn.

The CR58 is specifically engineered to cover a larger seating area with higher quality, higher output sound than traditional cinema surrounds. With 500 Watts AES standard power handling and a 90° x 70° coverage pattern, it can be mounted higher and cover more seats than traditional surrounds. Higher placement lets the systems cover a larger area "across" the room creating a larger area of stereo surround coverage than traditional surround placement. The system produces 8 - 15 dB more output than traditional surrounds.

The front baffle is angled down 20° to accomodate overhead mounting. The optimally vented enclosure increases LF response while limiting driver excursion. This method produces less distortion and minimizes driver strain while extending LF response to the lowest octaves.

Six threaded mounting points on top of the enclosure allow the system to be "dead hung" at a variety of vertical and horizontal angles. Two mounting points (at the center of gravity on each side) accept an adjustable wall mount bracket. Two additional mounting points (one at the upper rear corner of each side) provide additional mounting flexibility. A single mounting point on the bottom accepts an L-bracket.

The passive crossover/filter network included in the CR58 is so complex that it goes beyond merely dividing the signal and actually performs critical equalization functions. This means it will provide more detailed, more natural reproduction of any sonic event occurring in the 360° aural arena.

The input connector – a 2-terminal barrier strip that accommodates bare wire, tinned leads or spade lugs - is located on top of the enclosure . The enclosure features a textured black finish to eliminate visual intrusion of visible surrounds. For safety, the cloth grill is attached with multiple threaded fasteners.
