Product description

The CRS12GT/90 is a 2-way passive-filtered loudspeaker, designed to meet all requirements of current and future immersive surround sound formats.

Featuring Alcons’ patented pro-ribbon driver technology, the CRS12GT/90 combines an
exceptional clarity and intelligibility with an unusually high dynamic range and up to 90% less distortion than traditional cinema surround systems.
It offers the most realistic immersive surround sound reproduction possible.

By utilizing identical MHF transducers for screen- and surround systems, an exceptionally wide and uniform sound stage throughout the entire listening area is realized.

The CRS12GT/90 system consists of one RBN601 6” pro-ribbon driver for HF and a vented 12” mid-bass for LF reproduction. The CRS12GT/90 HF section has a 1000 W peak power input, enabling a 1:15 dynamic range with lowest distortion from 1 kHz to beyond 20 kHz. The absence of a “compression threshold”, caters for a linear tonal balance at any SPL, while the patented horizontal dispersion of the RBN601 guarantees a very stable sound field throughout the operating bandwidth.

Developed as surround system located closest to the screen channels in immersive surround systems, the 90° horizontal by 40° vertical dispersion, in combination with the 10-degree slanted baffle, the trapezoidal cabinet shape and the upside-down speaker arrangement enables a very precise projection on the critical listening area, preventing wall/ceiling reflections.

For full system performance, the CRS12GT/90 is to be driven by an ALC controller-amplifier, delivering maximum sound quality with increased headroom and utmost operation reliability. The CRS12GT/90 is available in 8 ohms and 4 ohms version, for maximum amplifier efficiency in individually-amplified immersive surround systems and can be supplied in any RAL™ color for perfect interior blending.

The Signal Integrity Sensing™ pre-wiring ensures complete cable/connector compensation between the CRS12GT/90 and ALC, significantly increasing response accuracy, regardless of cable length and system impedance, with tight and accurate mid and bass response as result.

The CRS12GT is prepared for a universal bracket, with pattern: 4x M8 – 2”x 4.25” (51x108mm).
