Alcons introduces CR1 Ultra-compact
A/V "behind-the-screen" pro-ribbon sound system
December 19, 2008
Source: Alcons-Audio
The CR1 is an ultra-compact 3-way sound
system, designed to provide medium output, high quality cinema
and A/V sound reproduction. It is recommended for cinema theatres,
screening rooms, board-rooms, dubbing stages, as well as surround
sound recording and Home Theatres / residential sound systems.
The ultra-shallow MDF enclosure design of only 18cm/7-in.
provides for very flexible mounting in even the smallest spaces
behind the screen. It can be stacked, wall-mounted, or even
flown, with a weight of only 29,8 Kg / 65.6lb.
Featuring a 4" pro-ribbon driver for HF, a Neodymium
6.5" vented mid-range driver and Neodymium 12" side-vented
woofer, the system's frequency response is 45Hz – 20.000Hz
(-3dB) with a dynamic range of up to 128dB.
Alcons' proprietary and multiple-patented RBN401 pro-ribbon
driver offers non-compressed sound reproduction from 1.000Hz.
to 20.000Hz; With a peak power handling of 800W, the RBN401
delivers crystal clear sound reproduction with digital-media
dynamics.
Alcons' proprietary and patented "Real-90" horizontal
dispersion widens the stereo experience for far left and right
seated audience substantially.
The HF section is mounted on a swivel bracket for adjustable
precise projection. The dimensions of the waveguide of the
HF section have been kept minimal to combine projection control
with a reduced effect of screen reflection (sound bouncing
back from the screen into the waveguide).
The CR1 is completely passive-filtered with a system impedance
of 4 ohms; This offers economic powering from only one channel
of ALC2 amplified loudspeaker controller. The relatively low
impedance is enabled by the ALC's Signal Integrity Sensing™
circuit; This dynamic circuit actively compensates the impedance
effects of long speaker cables. SIS™ also further reduces
(filter) distortion.
For full system performance, the CR1
is designed to be used in combination with an ALC amplifier/controller.
Driven by the ALC, the CR1 delivers maximum sound quality
with significantly increased headroom under dedicated equalisation
and inaudible (power and excursion) protection (SDP circuit).
