The CRMS, Cinema Ribbon Monitor System is a hybrid three-way main- /two-way surround-system.
Each system consists of a separate mid-high frequency (MHF) section, featuring one RBN401 pro-ribbon driver HF with non-vented 8" MF and a low frequency 15" (LF) section, with low power-compression 4" voice-coil.
The MHF section is specifically designed to act both as MHF section for the main/front system, as well as full-range surround system. This design results in a very uniform and high resolution sound stage throughout the entire listening area.
Featuring the patented RBN401 pro-ribbon driver, the CRMS combines clarity and intelligibility, with an unusually high headroom SPL.
The patented "Real-90" horizontal dispersion of the RBN401 extends the stereo-imaging to a larger number of seats in the auditorium and/or widens the "sweet-spot in near-field (studio) applications.
Powered and controlled by the ALC (Amplified Loudspeaker Controller), the CRMS system has its own dedicated speaker drive, making a complete synergetic sound reproduction chain with precisely matched components. There's a choice of analogue (SDP) and digital (DDP) processing modules.
The 'Signal Integrity Sensing' in the ALC ensures complete cable and connector resistance compensation, raising the damping factor to 10.000. This results in a tight and accurate mid and bass response.
