It combines one CS126MH mid\/high loudspeaker with one CS128LF low-frequency loudspeaker in a single stack. Dolby's patented asymmetrical waveguide gives even coverage and volume shading across the room, and the system runs either bi-amplified or as a passive, single-amp-channel speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Dolby System 126 work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn bi-amp mode the cinema processor feeds the CS126MH and the CS128LF from separate amplifier channels, with crossover and EQ handled by Dolby processing settings. Adding the optional PXO.126 plug-in crossover (sold separately) turns the stack into a passive, single-amp-channel system at 4 ohms, which helps where amplifier channels are limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CS126MH uses a 10-inch mid-frequency driver and a low-distortion 44.4 mm polyimide dome high-frequency driver on an asymmetrical waveguide that transitions from 70° at the top to 130° at the bottom. That pushes more level to rear seats while softening coverage near the screen. The CS128LF carries two 15-inch woofers that can be wired in parallel or driven individually through a flip-card input. Together the stack covers 39 Hz to 20 kHz with 128 dB summed continuous SPL in bi-amp mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a shallow 13.4-inch (340 mm) depth and side-mounted input plates, the System 126 fits tight screen walls.
