PRODUCT INFORMATION
The MC4953 full-range screen channel loudspeaker system brings 3-
way design to large cinema exhibition spaces. This system provides
high output and must be powered by three amplifier channels
(triamplification).
Three-way design dramatically advances cinema audio quality by
improving the naturalness and intelligibility of dialog, eliminating
distortion from excessive driver excursion and extending pattern
control into the lower octaves.
The MC4953 combines many of EAW's breakthrough technologies
including the mathematically correct mid/bass horn with phase/
displacement plug, "push/pull" low frequency technology and the
"short-throat" high frequency horn.
The three component system includes 2x 15-in woofers in a "push/
pull" configuration, 2x horn-loaded 10-in mid frequency cones and
a horn-loaded 2-in exit high frequency compression driver.
The "push/pull" configuration of the LF section reduces mechani-
cally induced distortion at high output levels. To move air "forward"
(away from the enclosure) half of the woofers push while the other
half pull.
The MC4953's mathematically-correct MF horn with phase plug
drastically reduces the horn-throat cancellation distortion that
degrades the naturalness and intelligibility of dialog. By dividing
the mid/high material between two horn-loaded subsystems, pat-
tern control over the entire frequency range is enhanced.
The HF element - an HK294 HF system - features a 2-in exit
compression driver loaded with a short-throat 90 x 40 HF horn
ensuring even distribution of HF information throughout the audi-
torium.
Each section is provided with its own input connector. The input
panels are located on the sides of the enclosures for convenient
access in cramped installation areas.
All external components feature a "dead" flat black finish to
eliminate the reflection of light through perforated cinema screens.
