APPLICATION

For small to large cinemas

Passive 2-way surround channel loudspeaker

THX®-approved

PRODUCT INFORMATION

The CR72 two-way, passive, full range cinema surround loudspeaker system is engineered to reproduce today’s full bandwidth digital surround tracks in smaller cinemas. It features an 8-in woofer and a 1-in dome tweeter loaded with EAW’s proprietary WGP® (Wave Guide Plate®) mounted in a slanted baffle.

This system is approved by the THX division of Lucasfilm, Ltd., for use in THX-certified theaters.

The CR72 is specifically engineered to cover a larger seating area with higher quality, higher output sound than traditional cinema surrounds. With 150 Watts AES standard power handling and a 110° conical coverage pattern, it can be mounted higher than traditional surrounds. Higher placement lets the system cover a larger area "across" the room creating a larger area of stereo surround coverage than traditional surround placement. The WGP’s® extra wide disper- sion pattern lets CR72’s be used in cinemas with low ceilings without sacrificing coverage of fringe seats.

The passive crossover/filter network included in the CR72 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 crossover/filter network tailors HF response to match the SMPTE/ISO 2969 response curve.

The front baffle is angled down 20° to accommodate 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.

CR72 specifications

The EAW CR72 is a prominent model in the realm of professional sound reinforcement, known for delivering exceptional audio quality and reliability in various live sound applications. Designed with advanced technology and user-friendly features, the CR72 is particularly suited for concert venues, corporate events, and outdoor festivals.

One of the standout features of the EAW CR72 is its powerful amplification system. With a robust output of 2,000 watts, it ensures that even the most demanding audio environments are covered with clarity and precision. The integrated digital signal processor (DSP) enhances performance by optimizing sound dispersion and tailoring audio output to specific venue acoustics. This technology allows sound engineers to achieve a balanced mix across different frequencies, resulting in an immersive listening experience.

The CR72’s construction is equally impressive. Its cabinet is crafted from durable birch plywood, providing both strength and resonance control. The design incorporates advanced acoustic engineering principles, allowing the speaker to minimize distortion and deliver a smooth response across its operational frequency range. This attention to material choice and structural design also contributes to the longevity and reliability of the system, making it a dependable choice for touring professionals.

Another notable characteristic of the EAW CR72 is its versatility. The speaker offers multiple connectivity options, including XLR and Speakon connectors, enabling seamless integration with a variety of audio sources and mixing consoles. Moreover, the CR72 can be deployed in various configurations, including ground-stacked or flown setups, making it adaptable for different venue layouts and sound reinforcement needs.

The advanced thermal management system in the CR72 further enhances its performance. It incorporates intelligent cooling technology to prevent overheating, allowing the speaker to operate efficiently over prolonged periods without compromising audio quality. This is particularly valuable during long events where consistent performance is essential.

In summary, the EAW CR72 is a robust and versatile speaker system, characterized by its powerful output, advanced DSP technology, durable construction, and flexible deployment options. Whether used in a small venue or a large outdoor event, the CR72 continues to stand out as a preferred choice among audio professionals, ensuring that every performance conveys clarity and presence in sound.
