ADVANTAGE SONANCE CINEMA SERIES SPEAKERS
Sonance Cinema® Series in-wall speakers deliver film soundtracks and music with reference clarity and realism, even
in the largest home theater rooms. These all-new home theater speakers combine elegant, modern style with uncompromised in-wall home theater performance. The all new micro-trim grilles, 0.20” of trim, give the Cinema Series a
clean, sleek appearance that seamlessly integrates into any designed space. Music, special effects, and dialogue are
reproduced perfectly without cluttering your home theater with imposing speaker boxes.
LCR1 LCR2 CINEMA SUB SUR1 SUR2
The new Cinema LCR is designed
to provide outstanding performance
in a home theater system while
maintaining a slim profile on the
wall. The advanced custom-designed
drivers, crossover, and full MDF
enclosure combine to reproduce a
dynamic range of film soundtracks
and music with startling clarity
and realism.
The Cinema LCR is a symmetrical
array, allowing it to be positioned
vertically or horizontally without a
compromise in performance.
Sonance subwoofers deliver
powerful, low-distortion bass in any
room. Anodized aluminum woofer
cones combine with heavily-braced
sealed enclosures to deliver roomshaking bass, while keeping cabinet
size to a minimum, maximizing
installation options.
The front-mounted controls and
recessed amplifiers allow these
subwoofers to be tucked-away
under shelves or installed flush
with walls.
The Cinema Surround compliments
the performance of the Cinema
LCR for side and back wall
surround applications. With its
dual compliment of customdesigned midranges and tweeters,
it produces a diffuse soundfield
that will envelop the listening area
without giving away its location.

REINVENT SONANCE CINEMA SERIES SPEAKERS
The all-new Cinema Series speakers combine the aesthetic appeal of the award-winning Sonance Visual Performance®
Series and the reference-quality sound of Sonance speakers. Sonance Cinema Series speakers transform just about
any room into a movie theater. They surround you in sound, capturing every nuance of the romance, the drama, and
the action with prestine clarity. The new Sonance Cinema Series speakers are made of top quality high-performance
materials which ensure that each speaker will generate perfect sound.
Micro-trim grille design
The new Sonance Cinema Series speakers feature Visual Performance grilles that effortlessly blend into the
home theater - letting you focus on the movie experience and not the speakers.
Coaxial midrange / tweeter drivers
The new Cinema LCR and SUR speakers feature a unique coaxial midrange/high-frequency driver. The
midrange driver features a low-prole cone that does not compromise the performance of the tweeter
mounted in its center. This arrangement results in extremely consistent off-axis frequency response that
provides the same reference-quality sound to every listener, not just those sitting in the “sweet spot”.
Dual and quad woofers
The new Cinema Series speakers feature two woofers in the LCR1 and SUR1 and four woofers in the LCR2
and SUR2. In a typical installation, using single woofer speaker reections off the oor and ceiling can cause
dips in the frequency response up to 6dB. With a dual woofer speaker, these dips are minimized since the two
woofers will be unequal distance from these reective surfaces. In a dual or quad woofer speaker, 3dB is the
maximum amount of cancelation that can occur. This, combined with the coaxial driver, produces a speaker
with the highest degree of sonic accuracy and the lowest room placement sensitivity.
Laminated cones
The midrange and woofer drivers both have cones featuring a laminate of carbon ber and Rohacell®. These
two materials combine to make a cone that is very light, non-resonant and extremely stiff. Additionally, the
density of the cone material prevent sound produced by the backs of the drivers from being transmitted
through the cone material, a common problem with less dense materials.
Integrated ¾” medium density fiberboard (MDF) enclosure
All of the Cinema Series models feature an integrated enclosure made from ¾”-thick MDF. The enclosure’s
density and rigidity prevents sound leakage from the speaker’s rear, minimizing sound intrusion into adjacent
spaces. In addition, the MDF is non-resonant, which minimizes the sonic colorations that can rob lm
soundtracks of clarity and impact.
Enclosure damping material
To minimize the transfer of vibrational energy from the Cinema enclosure to its surrounding wall, the inner
surfaces of the enclosure are lined with a visco-elastic dampening laminate. This damping material turns the
vibrational energy into heat which is then dissipated inside the enclosure.
Die-cast baskets
All the woofer and midrange drivers feature custom die-cast aluminum baskets for maximum rigidity. These
baskets not only keep the placement of the voice consistent they are also non-ferrous and do not drain any of
the magnetic eld away from the driver’s motor system.
