A proprietary asymmetrical dual-entrant horn delivers consistent audio coverage and uniform volume shading for every seat. Custom compression-driver technology gives it greater intelligibility and stronger mid and mid-high performance for premium large-format cinemas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Dolby CS136MH work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA custom ring radiator mid-frequency compression driver with a 2-inch exit and 3.5-inch voice coil covers the full primary vocal range of 400 Hz to 4 kHz, improving intelligibility, sensitivity and power handling. A 1.4-inch exit titanium-diaphragm high-frequency compression driver handles the top end and shows a significant reduction in total harmonic distortion in the 5 kHz to 10 kHz articulation range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual-entrant horn places the two drivers close together for pattern control around the crossover, with coverage of 55° top and 100° bottom horizontally and 50° vertical. In passive mode the CS136MH is rated at 500 W @ 63.2 Vrms into 8 ohms with 104 dB sensitivity and 131 dB continuous SPL. In bi-amp mode MF and HF take separate channels for 133 dB continuous output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe advanced input plate's flip-card PCB selects passive or bi-amp wiring, and spring-loaded terminals allow tool-free connection. Laser aiming sights work with tilt and pan mechanisms, and the BKT.136 tie-plate kit is included for joining CS136LF cabinets.
