Product description
Preliminary information
The MR5 is a reference monitor system, to be used for critical sound reproduction in any application where ultimate fidelity response is required, combined with an exceptionally wide dynamic range.
The MR5 is designed as compact main stereo system, or as complement to a larger monitor configuration as surround, i.e. in an immersive sound system.
The MR5 is loaded with the multiple-patented Alcons proprietary RBN202 pro-ribbon driver for MHF. Due to the compression-less principle and the light-weight moving mass of the pro-ribbon transducer technology, the system has a fully linear response at any level with a super-fast transient response; It provides a stable, analytical 1:1 reference without listening fatigue, even after prolonged working hours.
The RBN202 pro-ribbon covers a very wide frequency range to beyond 20 kHz, starting already from 1 kHz, which is well below traditional designs, thus covering a much larger frequency range in the critical mid-band.
The RBN202’s 500 W peak power input (for 200 ms, which is 10x the industry standard) with technology-leading efficiency results in a 1:15 RMS-to-peak dynamic range, which means a virtually infinite headroom.
The unique HempHorn™ with patented constant (120-degrees) horizontal directivity enables a wide and consistent sound field up to the highest frequencies, providing a wide sweet-spot with unmatched 3D phantom imaging; Essential for accurate object placement in immersive systems.
The Alcons custom-designed 5” woofer with Active Coil™, for extremely low-distortion LMF reproduction is a perfect match with the MHF pro-ribbon technology. The evolutionary ScoopVent™ provides maximum breathing capacity for the cleanest response while maintaining the fast transient response, down to the lowest octaves.
The single-amped MR5 is to be driven by the ALC amplified loudspeaker controller; Through the integrated VHIR™ processing, 192kHz AES3 digital inputs and super-audiophile amplifier stages, the ALC makes the MR5 deliver absolute maximum sound quality with utmost operation reliability.
This remotely-powered configuration also offers other advantages, such as efficient centralized processing and amplification without difficult accessible electronics; No electrical components and heat build-up behind a screen, in a baffle-wall or against a ceiling.
