Overview
The Cinema Ribbon CRW-3 and the
CRW-3C are high performance loud-
speakers that are specically designed to
work with your at panel display. Sharing
technology with the rest of the Cinema
Ribbon line, years of research and
decades of experience have gone into
these amazing loudspeakers.
The ribbon - a legacy rened
The ribbon in this loudspeaker is a re-
markable piece of engineering, because
it has the output capability, purity, and
low distortion of a large 6-foot-tall ribbon
- in fact, it is derived from Bob Carver’s
award-winning Amazing Loudspeaker
from the late 1970s! The sound from the
CRW-3 ribbon is deliberately focused
in the forward direction, with very little
sound going up or down - reducing reec-
tions off the ceiling and oor, that disturb
our sense of space and imaging. The
CRW-3C features an integrated “acoustic
lens,” that disperses the signal for center
channel applications.
The woofers - a legacy rened
Sunre created the category of small-
box, high-power subwoofers more than
a decade ago with the original True
Subwoofer. This design relies on high-
pressure, “High Back-emf” technology
that provides very high bass output from
a very small box. When migrating this
subwoofer technology to the midrange
and high frequencies on the Cinema
CRW-3 loudspeaker
CRW-3C center loudspeaker
Ribbon CRW loudspeakers, you get the
same advantages: high output, small
size, high efciency, and years of trouble-
free operation.
Conclusion
The Cinema Ribbon CRW loudspeak-
ers are a no-compromise answer to the
age-old question of Form vs. Function.
Why not get both? Combine these speak-
ers with the SubRosa In-wall subwoofer
for the ultimate in hidden high perfor-
mance.
Installation overview
A template is supplied to help mark
the sheetrock for cutting. A paint shield
is also supplied to aid in painting the
loudspeakers.
An optional pre-construction bracket
is available that will help you install the
loudspeakers in rooms that are under
construction. Please contact Sunre to
order this bracket. (It comes with its own
installation guide.)
The CRW-3 may be mounted vertically
between wall studs, either side of your
big screen display.
The CRW-3C may be mounted hori-
zontally, above or below your display. For
existing walls, the horizontal mounting
will involve cutting a vertical stud and
some extra framing.
The CRW-3C may also be used
vertically as left and right loudspeakers,
in which case, the acoustic lens can be
removed.
A system of six screw clamps secure
the loudspeaker rmly in place in the
sheetrock, once the opening has been
cut.
