Product description

The CRMSQ is a modular 2-way column loudspeaker to be used as vertical array system; It combines a perfectly natural, dynamic sound reproduction with superb intelligibility and coverage, drastically reducing the influence of the room acoustics.

The symmetrical acoustic design, in combination with the patented horizontal constant directivity of the RBN HF drivers, offers a coherent pattern control with seamless coverage; This widens the “stereo sweet spot” significantly, regardless of the audience seating.

The system’s active frontal radiation is close to 90%, by using only 2 RBN drivers; The resulting sharply-controlled, virtually side-lobe-free vertical dispersion offers a superb, SPL-independent, intelligibility and “proximity experience”.

Each purpose-designed 12” RBN driver has a peak power handling of 2.000W (200 msec), creating a virtually infinite system headroom of 4.000W from 1kHz up.

The two RBN1203 drivers are mounted in a co-axial speaker configuration with four woofers in a sealed cabinet. The custom-designed high-output 6.5” woofers feature Active Coil™ technology for extremely low-distortion LF reproduction, a perfect match with the MHF pro-ribbon technology.

The controlled (cylindrical) projection can be extended down to the lower frequencies by enlarging the array length through adding extra CRMSQ modules (extending the “near field”).

The RBN HF section horizontal orientation can be manually adjusted in 5 steps of 5-degrees (+10, +5, 0, -5, -10), for optimal projection without increasing the system’s super shallow mounting depth of 25,4cm / 10-in.

The passive filtering allows up to 3 modules to be combined on one amplifier channel.

The CRMSQ is powered and controlled by the ALC amplified loudspeaker controller; Through the integrated processing and feedback, the ALC offers CRMSQ-specific drive processing with optimal response and reliability and utmost user-friendliness.

The Signal Integrity Sensing™ pre-wiring ensures complete cable/connector compensation between the CRMSQ and ALC; This offers a 1:1, undistorted natural sound reproduction, regardless of cable length and amplifier impedance load. (system damping factor 10.000)

The CRMSQ is available in two versions: 80-degree (CRMSQ/80) or 110-degree (CRMSQ/110) horizontal dispersion; And can be ordered in efficient single-amp (“si”) or high-output bi-amp (“bi”) configuration.
