System description
2 System description
The RL 940 has been designed for both the professional user at small to medium-size audio, video and
lm studios and for the discerning music enthusiast. With the directivity index optimized for mid-distance
monitoring, an excellent depth arrangement with neutral colouration is achieved. The coaxial conguration
of the drive units delivers a sound stage with outstanding authenticity and consistency of imaging. The
loudspeaker also distinguishes itself at high listening volumes through the presence of exceptionally low
levels of non-linear distortion. The vented cabinet is tuned to 38 Hz and allows an uncompromising impulse
response. The total system is additionally optimized for group delay.
The two channel amplier with an electronic crossover is integrated within the rear of the enclosure and can
be hinged out for maintenance purposes. An intermittent ashing LED indicates when the level reaches the
system overload threshold. If the maximum level is exceeded continuously, the output level is attenuated
by 20 dB to protect the components from damage. Two gapless variable low frequency controls provide
separate adjustment of two frequency bands to enable the frequency response to be matched to the acoustic
environment of the listening room.
In surround systems the RL 940 performs excellent as front and eect loudspeaker. As a center speaker the
RL 940C was designed, which is better integrable due to its lesser height. In addition the speaker is inclinable
up to 15° to the top with the height-adjustable feet at the cabinet bottom. Therefore a perfect alignment
to the listening position is possible. The center speaker RL 940C doesn‘t fall behind the RL 940 regarding
acoustical and technical performance. In connection with one of our BASIS models the surround system is
perfectly complemented.
A variety of special stands and holding devices are available as accessories to the RL 940; appropriate mounting
elements are integrated into the cabinet. A variety of special stands and holding devices are available as
