Premier Series CR7

Compact Full Range Center For Music and Movies - CR7 The center channel is considered to be the most important inany surround sound system.The CR7 is a compact center, tuned and built like all Snell speakers — with smooth tonal balance,excellent dispersion,and high power handling.This isessential,since the center has the critical task of reproducingthe dialogue found on movie soundtracks. We made the CR7 as small as possible without compromisingperformance by extruding the cabinet from solid aluminum —saving1.5-inches from each dimension. As a D ’Appolito Array,named for our chief engineer Dr.Joe D ’Appolito Ph.D.,the CR7 has great articulation and a wide dispersion angle,making it perfect to handle its center channel responsibilities.This elegant design serves equally well as an LCR for the left and right main channels. When three CR7s are used across the front of a multichannel system, the result is a seamless, timbre

matched soundstage. Voiced to match Snell speakers.The Frequency Response of the CR7 matches the K7,M7, LCR7 and D7 Tower within +1.dB from 80Hz -20kHz,for seamless left /right pans. Fills a typical listening room. Astonishingly, the CR7 produces 101dB of continuous output from 12 feet away when used with a 75-Watt amplifier. Bass extension suitable for all movie soundtracks and music recordings. The CR 7 ’s bass extends to 80Hz (-3dB).
