Dolby SYS100A – SLS Bi-Amped Screen Channel Speaker System
What is the Dolby SLS SYS100A?
The SLS Cinema System 100A is a full-range, bi-amped cinema screen speaker system for smaller auditoriums, consisting of one SLS CS50 and one SLS CSB115. Its high-frequency section uses the PRD500 planar ribbon transducer for fast transient accuracy and an exceptionally smooth high-frequency response. The stack covers 45 Hz to 20 kHz with 122 dB summed continuous SPL.
How does the Dolby SLS SYS100A work?
The System 100A splits the screen channel across two amplifier channels. The CS50 handles mid and high frequencies with its 12-inch mid driver and 5-inch PRD500 ribbon, while the CSB115 adds a 15-inch low-frequency driver below. Dolby provides DSP settings for the crossover, so the cinema processor or DSP sets the split between the two cabinets.
The ribbon's properties deliver more direct sound to the audience, even with screen spreading. Coverage is 90° horizontal by 40° vertical. The mid/high section is rated at 120 W @ 31 Vrms and 120 dB continuous, and the low section at 200 W @ 40 Vrms and 118 dB, for 122 dB continuous and 128 dB peak summed at one metre.
A steel U-bracket, included, attaches the CS50 to the CSB115, giving a 49.5-inch-high stack. Typical partners are a Dolby processor such as the CP950 or CP950A and a Dolby Multichannel Amplifier such as the DMA16302.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the System 100A?
One SLS CS50 mid/high speaker, one SLS CSB115 low-frequency module and the steel U-bracket that joins them.
Is it compatible with Dolby cinema processors?
Yes. Dolby publishes System 100A processor settings, and the two sections are driven through amplifier channels from Dolby processors such as the CP950 or CP950A.
How many amplifier channels does it need?
Two per screen channel: one for the CS50 mid/high and one for the CSB115 low section.
How does it differ from the SYS50?
System 50 is a single CS50 running full range. System 100A adds the CSB115 and bi-amplification for deeper, louder low end.
