PRODUCT INFORMATION
The CB259 high power, full range 2-way screen loudspeaker system
fills medium-sized theaters with all the high-impact, full-range
sound encoded on today’s digital soundtracks while reproducing
voices clearly and naturally.
The two component system includes a BV253C vented dual 15-in low
frequency unit and a HK294 high frequency system – a medium
format 90
°
x 40
°
HF horn loading a large diaphragm 2-in exit
compression driver.
The HK294’s constant directivity horn assures even distribution of
high frequency information to every seat in the house. Its shortened
horn throat minimizes horn throat distortion, eliminating the 700
Hz "honk" that has plagued cinema HF horns.
The BV253C’s optimally vented enclosure uses enclosure resonance
to increase LF response while limiting driver excursion. This method
produces less distortion and minimizes driver strain while extending
LF response to the lowest octaves.
The adjustable steel bracket attaching the HF horn to the LF
enclosure can be positioned at one of three mounting points for
optimum front/rear HF horn placement. The bracket 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 posi-
tioned.
The LF section includes a two-terminal barrier strip that accomodates
bare wire, tinned leads or spade lugs. The HF component uses heavy
duty spring-loaded push button type connectors. Input connectors
for the LF section are located on the side of the enclosure for
convenient access in cramped installation areas. HF input connec-
tors are directly on the compression driver.
All components feature a textured black finish to eliminate the
reflection of light through perforated cinema screens.
