Sonance CINEMA TWO SUB SYSTEM Speaker User Manual


 
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your choice of the Sonance Cinema
Two Subwoofer System. Sonance Cinema
systems let you hear movies the way the directors intended them to be heard on the big screen. Your
system will allow you to enjoy vastly improved dialogue intelligibility, superior on-screen sound
localization, enveloping surround sound and incredibly wide frequency response and dynamic range.
The décor friendly,sonically superior Sonance Cinema Systems meet the highest standard for accurate
reproduction of cinema soundtracks and are compatible with all Dolby Digital sound tracks.
This state of the art sound system literally disappears in your room.Each speaker protrudes just three-
quarters of an inch from the wall … even the subwoofers!
Cinema Two LCR (left, center, right) speakers are THX® ULTRA certified and employ no compromise
audiophile grade crossovers, resulting in a virtually seamless transition between drivers for a smooth
and accurate sound stage. Open, detailed, and transparent, with a natural tonal balance and precise
stereo imaging, the main speaker arrays of the Cinema Two can fill a room with sound without the
usual speaker box clutter.
The three-driver array (two midranges flanking the tweeter) achieves consistent fidelity with a narrow
vertical dispersion pattern to minimize the influence of room acoustics. Cinema Two LCRs feature the
exclusive Cinema Acoustic Alignment Device (CAAD), a tilting/rotating midrange/tweeter plate which
allows the speakers to achieve maximum sonic performance in a variety of installations.An eight-inch
woofer completes the speaker system.
Cinema Two LCR and SUR speakers fit in standard 2"x 4" frame walls. Cinema Two LCR speakers are
also magnetically shielded to eliminate interference with TVs, clocks, or other electrical devices.
Cinema Two SUR speakers are THX® ULTRA certified and feature dual tweeter/midrange arrays and
eight-inch woofers. These surrounds are configurable in either bipolar or dipolar mode to achieve the
desired performance.Bipolar configuration is optimal for reproduction of the diffuse ambient content
of soundtracks. The dipolar setting, in some instances, provides greater localization of sound effects.
Changing configuration is easily achieved by simply changing one connector. Like the LCRs, the
surrounds fit into standard 2"x 4" stud walls.
Cinema Two SUB subwoofers provide powerful bass to complete a truly visceral movie experience.
These in-wall sub systems are capable of shaking the foundation of the most massive fortress of
solitude, without being seen.
The Cinema Two SUB includes four ten-inch aluminum drivers and a Sonamp Cinema 2120 amplifier
with a built-in crossover, phase adjustments. and mode switches. Integral to the Cinema Two System
are the specially designed back boxes which assure outstanding performance.
