Dolby CS6600 – SLS Ribbon Line Array Screen Module
What is the Dolby SLS CS6600?
The SLS CS6600 is a modular, passive ribbon line array module for cinema screen channels, part of Dolby's SLS cinema line. Each module is a co-planar two-way design with a single 6.5-inch woofer and a single PRD500 ribbon. Because the array is modular, it can be tailored to any seating layout where articulation and detail matter in every seat.
How does the Dolby SLS CS6600 work?
The co-planar design uses acoustic filtering and equalization for higher dynamic range and a significant reduction in upper mid-band distortion. Each module has its own passive crossover and covers 100 Hz to 20 kHz with 100° horizontal dispersion; vertical coverage is set by the array configuration.
Modules are 16 ohms, so up to four can be powered in parallel from a single amplifier channel, with 400 W to 800 W RMS at 4 ohms recommended for four units. Each module handles 100 W (40 V) AES/2 with 94 dB sensitivity and 114 dB continuous output. Rigging is self-contained, with an optional CS6600 rigging frame.
The low end comes from a separate low-frequency cabinet; Dolby's sheet names the Dolby CS136LF as a partner for theaters of all sizes. Drive the array from a Dolby processor such as the CP950A with a Dolby Multichannel Amplifier such as the DMA16302.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many CS6600 modules can share an amplifier channel?
Up to four 16-ohm modules can run in parallel on one channel, presenting 4 ohms. Dolby recommends 400 W to 800 W RMS at 4 ohms for four units.
What provides the low end?
The CS6600 covers 100 Hz up, so it is paired with a separate low-frequency cabinet. Dolby's sheet lists the CS136LF for screen channels in theaters of all sizes.
Is it compatible with Dolby cinema processors?
Yes. Dolby publishes CS6600 processor settings, and the array is driven through amplifier channels from processors such as the CP950A or CP950.
How is the array hung?
Rigging is self-contained, with the CS6600 rigging frame available as an accessory. A qualified installer should specify the structure and hardware.
What warranty and support are available?
