Eastern Acoustic Works CR72I

The CR72i two-way, passive, full range cinema surround loudspeaker

system is engineered to reproduce today’s full bandwidth digital

surround tracks in smaller cinemas. It features an 8-in woofer and a

1-in dome tweeter mounted in a slanted baffle.

This system is approved by the THX® division of Lucasfilm, Ltd., for

use in THX® certified theaters.

The CR72i is specifically engineered to cover a larger seating area

with higher quality, higher output sound than traditional cinema

surrounds.

The passive crossover/filter network included in the CR72i goes

beyond merely dividing the signal and actually performs critical

equalization functions. This means it will provide more detailed,

natural reproduction of any sonic event occurring in the 360° aural

arena. The crossover/filter network tailors HF response to match the

SMPTE/ISO 2969 response curve.

The front baffle is angled down 15° to accommodate overhead

mounting. The optimally vented enclosure increases LF response

while limiting driver excursion. This method produces less distortion

and minimizes driver strain while extending LF response to the

lowest octaves.

The input connector - a 2-terminal barrier strip that accommodates

bare wire, tinned leads or spade lugs - is located on top of the

enclosure. For safety, the cloth grille is attached with multiple

threaded fasteners.
