The company was set up by Tom Back in October last year, together with the former Stage Accompany R&D team, with a wide experience of transducer, acoustics and system design, as well as DSP and amplifier technology. The new Alcons cinema product range consists of two 3-way front systems, featuring Alcons’ patent-pending ribbon transducer technology; a radically different, but proven way of reproducing mid and high frequencies, resulting in hi-fi sound quality with truly unsurpassed clarity and intelligibility at full digital cinema sound pressure levels. This space-efficient design is made possible by the very slim size of the RBN601, the most powerful ribbon transducer available, say Alcons, with "real90" horizontal dispersion.
The speaker systems are controlled and driven by the ALC controller amps. The built-in Speaker Drive Processing circuit enables all Alcons cinema systems to deliver absolute maximum output with optimum sound quality without any chance of mechanical damage. The Signal Integrity Sensing circuit completely compensates the influence of long speaker cables. Furthermore the line is completed by high-speed vented subsystem and high-power/high-Q surround system.
