COMPONENTS & CONSTRUCTION
The CB2591 is a two-way, high output, full range loudspeaker system
intended for use in behind-screen cinema applications. It features
dual 15-in low frequency transducers mounted in a compact, vented
enclosure and a 2-in exit titanium diaphragm compression driver
mounted to a large format 90
°
x 40
°
constant directivity horn.
The CB2591 requires an external active electronic crossover. The
recommended crossover point is 500 Hz. Input connectors for the HF
section are dual spring loaded push-button type, designed to
accommodate bare or tinned leads, with a 2-terminal barrier strip for
the LF section. Separate input connectors are provided for each
section.
The low frequency enclosure is constructed of 3/4-in thick Medium
Density Fiberboard (MDF) with the exception of the baffle which is
15mm void-free, cross-grain-laminated Baltic birch plywood. Exten-
sive internal bracing is employed to minimize panel resonances
resulting from the large acoustical energies generated within the
enclosures.
The high frequency horn is constructed from a specially dampened
fiberglass which is non-resonant, lightweight and non-reflective.
The adjustable mounting bracket attaching the HF horn to the LF
enclosure can be positioned at one of three mounting points for
optimum HF horn placement. It allows the HF horn to be aimed
independently of the LF section in both the horizontal and vertical
planes and can be locked once it is positioned.
