The CR1 is an ultra-compact 3-way sound system, designed to provide medium output, high quality cinema and A/V sound reproduction. It is recommended for cinema theatres, screening rooms, board-rooms, dubbing stages, as well as surround sound recording and Home Theatres / residential sound systems.

The ultra-shallow enclosure design of only 18cm/7-in. provides for very flexible mounting in even the smallest spaces behind the screen. It can be stacked, wall-mounted, or even flown, with a weight of only 29,8 Kg / 65.6lb.

Featuring a 4� pro-ribbon driver for HF, a Neodymium 6.5� vented mid-range driver and Neodymium 12� side-vented woofer, the system’s frequency response is 45Hz – 20.000Hz (-3dB) with a dynamic range of up to 128dB.

Alcons’ proprietary and multiple-patented RBN401 pro-ribbon driver offers non-compressed sound reproduction from 1.000Hz. to 20.000Hz; With a peak power handling of 800W, the RBN401 delivers crystal clear sound reproduction with digital-media dynamics.
Alcons’ proprietary and patented “Real-90� horizontal dispersion widens the stereo experience for far left and right seated audience substantially.

The HF section is mounted on a swivel bracket for adjustable precise projection. The dimensions of the waveguide of the HF section have been kept minimal to combine projection control with a reduced effect of screen reflection (sound bouncing back from the screen into the waveguide).

The CR1 is completely passive-filtered with a system impedance of 4 ohms; This offers economic powering from only one channel of ALC2 amplified loudspeaker controller. The relatively low impedance is enabled by the ALC’s Signal Integrity Sensing™ circuit; This dynamic circuit actively compensates the impedance effects of long speaker cables. SIS™ also further reduces (filter) distortion.

For full system performance, the CR1 is designed to be used in combination with an ALC amplifier/controller. Driven by the ALC, the CR1 delivers maximum sound quality with significantly increased headroom under dedicated equalisation and inaudible (power and excursion) protection (SDP circuit).
