PRODUCT INFORMATION
The CB150x full-range passive stage/screen loudspeaker system
offers small cinemas cost-effective access to the future of cinema
audio – 3-way loudspeaker design. Its passive design lets it replace
existing two-way systems powered by a single amplifier channel
without requiring new processors or amplifiers.
The two component system consists of a BV153C low frequency
enclosure and an HK200 passive mid/high system integrated via a
passive crossover/filter network. EAW's complex, computer-de-
signed passive filter networks are tightly aligned to the loudspeak-
ers they control and go beyond merely dividing the signal, perform-
ing critical equalization functions.
Three-way design dramatically advances cinema audio quality by
improving the naturalness and intelligibility of dialog, eliminating
distortion from excessive driver excursion and extending pattern
control into the lower octaves.
The CB150x’s passive mid/high component – the HK200 – features
a dedicated midrange frequency subsystem that solves many of
cinema audio’s long standing problems. Moving crossover points out
of the vocal region eliminates the acoustical anomalies which
degrade the naturalness and intelligibility of dialog. Its direct
radiating 7-in MF cone transducer eliminates the horn-throat
cancellation distortion typical of two-way cinema loudspeakers. And
by loading the 1-in exit high frequency compression driver with
EAW’s patented WGP® waveguide, HF information is distributed
evenly over the entire audience area.
The BV153C low frequency subsystem uses optimally tuned enclosure
venting 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 enclosure’s shallow
dimension allow convenient placement behind the screen.
The LF enclosure has 2 mounting points to allow optimum front/rear
positioning of the mid/high component. The adjustable steel
bracket attaching the mid/high component to the LF enclosure
allows the mid/high section to be aimed independently of the LF
section in both the horizontal and vertical planes and can be locked
once it is positioned.
The 2-terminal barrier strip input connector creates a gas-free
connection to minimize corrosion and maximize signal transfer. A
jumper cable is provided to extend the signal chain to the mid/high
component. The input panel is located on the side of the enclosure
for convenient access in cramped installation areas.
All external components feature a “dead” flat black finish to
eliminate the reflection of light through perforated cinema screens.
