• For medium-sized theaters
• Bi-amplified 2-way screen channel loudspeaker
The CB259 high power, full range two-way screen loudspeaker system
fills medium-sized theaters with all the high-impact, full-range
sound encoded on today’s digital soundtracks while reproducing
voices clearly and naturally.
The two component system includes a BV253C vented dual 15-in low
frequency unit and a HK294 high frequency system - a medium for-
mat 90°x40° HF horn loading a large diaphragm 2-in exit compres-
sion driver.
The HK294’s constant directivity horn assures even distribution of
high frequency information to every seat in the house. Its shortened
horn throat minimizes horn throat distortion, eliminating the 700 Hz
“honk” that has plagued cinema HF horns.
The BV253C’s optimally vented enclosure uses the enclosure’s reso-
nance to increase LF response while limiting driver excursion. This
method produces less distortion and minimizes driver strain while
extending LF response to the lowest octaves.
The adjustable steel bracket attaching the HF horn to the LF enclo-
sure can be positioned at one of three mounting points for optimum
front/rear HF horn placement. The bracket allows the HF horn to be
aimed independently of the LF section in both the horizontal and
vertical planes and can be locked once it is positioned.
The LF section includes a two-terminal barrier strip that accommo-
dates bare wire, tinned leads or spade lugs. The Hf component uses
heavy duty spring-loaded push button type connectors. input con-
nectors for the LF section are located on the side of the enclosure
for convenient access in cramped installation areas. HF input con-
nectors are directly on the compression driver.
