The CRMS, Cinema Ribbon Monitor System is a hybrid 3-way main- /2-way surround-system. Featuring a RBN401 pro-ribbon driver, the MHF section can act both as MHF section for the main/front system, as well as full-range surround system. This design results in a very uniform sound stage throughout the listening area. Applications include screening-rooms, post-production houses, dubbing-stages, as well as pro-level home-cinema systems.
The 3-way CR1 sound system offers a wide frequency-response in an unusually-shallow cabinet depth of only 17cm. Due to the small size and light weight , the CR1 can be flown, stacked or wall-mounted.
The modular QR-series can be seen as a hybrid-system, combining the coverage and throw of a line-array, with the simplicity of a single point-source system, says the company. The series has been designed as a solution to obtain intelligibility in "acoustically challenging" environments. The scalable ribbon-arrays combine a very high directivity with totally controlled dispersion, in both vertical and horizontal plane.
The QB363 acts as a modular low-end extension of the QR-series pro-ribbon column arrays. Featuring a triple-12" array-configuration this bass system operates within the acoustic line-array parameters. The modular principle enables vertical (or even horizontal) tight bass arrays up to or even beyond 10 metres.
The LR14 ultra-compact pro-ribbon line-array system was on show, which has seen some high-profile installations in 2006, including in the prestigious Staatsoper Stuttgart, Germany, as well as many theatre and live-sound applications.
Also on show was the recently shipping SR9: an ultra-compact ribbon loudspeaker system, specifically designed for applications where ultimate fidelity response needs to be projected with wide horizontal and precise vertical coverage, such as low-profile stage-lip/front-fill, upper-/under-balcony or stair risers or walls.
