Disney Employs Alcons CR1 System for Cinema Audio Playback
**Disney Germany's Cinema Upgrades to Alcons Audio System**
Disney Germany's in-house cinema has recently undergone an audio upgrade, with the installation of an Alcons Audio system. This high-end audio solution was chosen for its reputation for delivering detailed and accurate soundscapes, as well as its ability to help Disney Germany verify the quality of their soundtracks and identify potential flaws.
The new system consists of six Alcons CCS8 passive full-range loudspeakers, providing surround sound for an immersive cinematic experience. Three of these speakers are part of the CR1 screen speaker systems, each equipped with a 12" woofer, 6.5" mid-range, and Alcons' proprietary RBN401 4" pro-ribbon tweeter. The CR1 systems are run via Alcons' new Sentinel3 4-channel DSP class-D amplified loudspeaker controller. Completing the setup is an 18" CB181 cinema bass.
The decision to use Alcons Audio was based on its reputation for delivering clear and precise sound, as well as its capacity to help Disney Germany identify and rectify any soundtrack issues. According to Tammo Buhren, managing director of the Munich-based digital cinema and events technology specialist zweiB, who was responsible for the installation, the Alcons system was the ideal choice for Disney Germany's project.
Buhren noted that the Alcons system's slim profile makes it suitable for tight spaces, further enhancing its appeal for the cinema's audio setup. He also praised the system for its high-fidelity reproduction and the clarity of its sharp, direct soundscape.
