PRODUCT INFORMATION
The CB259x 2-way passive 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
format 90
° x 40° HF horn loading a large diaphragm 2-in exit
compression 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 enclosure resonance
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 sections are integrated via an internal passive crossover/filter
network. EAW's complex, computer-designed passive filter networks
are tightly aligned to the loudspeakers they control and go beyond
merely dividing the signal, performing critical equalization func-
tions.
The adjustable steel bracket attaching the HF horn to the LF
enclosure 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 posi-
tioned.
The LF section includes a barrier strip that accomodates bare wire,
tinned leads or spade lugs. A jumper cable is supplied to extend the
signal chain to the HF component. The input connector is located on
the side of the enclosure for convenient access in cramped instal-
lation areas. HF component connection is made directly on the
compression driver.
All components feature a textured black finish to eliminate the
reflection of light through perforated cinema screens.
