ALCONS INTRODUCES CRMS REFERENCE SYSTEM
30 October 2015
Eight years after the introduction of the original, Alcons launches the mkII version of its successful CRMS Cinema Reference Monitor System.
The CRMS is a three-way sound system design to offer the most natural 1:1 Digital Cinema and HD audio sound reproduction possible.
Featuring the patented RBN401 pro-ribbon driver, the CRMS combines a remarkable clarity and intelligibility, with a high headroom SPL. The Alcons pro-ribbon drivers have much less distortion than conventional mid/high transducers, while the high peak power handling offers a 1:16 RMS-to-peak ratio, enabling maximum screen compensations without audible stress on the MHF performance.
The patented horizontal dispersion of the RBN401 extends the stereo-imaging and depth-of-field to a larger number of seats in the auditorium; Due to the ‘compression-less’ principle of the pro-ribbon transducer, the system is designed to have a linear response at any SPL, from the quietest whisper to the loudest explosion or drum solo.
The CRMS system consists of a separate, adjustable mid-high frequency section, featuring one RBN401 4” pro-ribbon driver HF with non-vented 8” mid-range driver and a vented low frequency section with 15” woofer with low power-compression 4” voice-coil design.
A matching surround system with identical MF/HF components, CRMS-SR, is available, offering screen/surround blending, resulting in a very uniform sound stage and a seamless transition between surround positions in an immersive sound system.
For full system performance, the bi-amped CRMS is to be driven by two channels of ALC Sentinel controller-amplifier.
