Sonance CINEMA TWO SUB SYSTEM User manual

Create the magic of the movie theater experience at home
Sonance Cinema®Series speakers bring THX®-certified movie magic
right into your home, no matter what size your home theater room is.
Regardless of which series you choose, you’ll hear films precisely as
their makers intended them to sound, along with stunningly
realistic-sounding stereo and multi-channel music.
Sonance Cinema®Ultra II Speakers
Sonance Cinema Ultra II Speakers are THX Ultra 2-certified, and
offer the ultimate in performance for both cinema and multi-channel
music applications even in the largest theater rooms. The Cinema
Ultra II LCR and SUR both incorporate a 3-way driver configuration
and low-resonance MDF baffles, and both have a rotating
midrange/tweeter panel that allows horizontal placement while
maintaining their THX-certified performance. Integrated back boxes
maintain that performance in spite of wall cavity variations and
reduce sound spillover into adjacent rooms, and RotoLock®
mounting clamps provide quick, easy installation.
Sonance Cinema Select Speakers
Sonance Cinema Select speakers bring true cinema performance to
those with smaller theater rooms. By incorporating a precise 2-way
driver configuration with low-resonance MDF baffles, Cinema Select
speakers perform just as impressively with music as they do with film
soundtracks. Their small footprint let them practically disappear into
the decor, while their RotoLock mounting clamps make them quick and
easy to install.
Sonance Cinema Cabinet Speakers
Sonance's new Cinema Cabinet LCR speakers offer legendary Sonance
quality and performance to listeners who can’t use Cinema Series
in-wall speakers. By incorporating the same drivers and voicing as
Cinema Ultra II and Cinema Select in-wall LCR speakers, these
THX-certified Cinema Cabinet Speakers can even be mixed-and-
matched with their in-wall counterparts while maintaining the character
and quality of the Sonance sound.
The new enclosure is a key to the Cinema Cabinet speaker's superior
performance. The 1" thick MDF baffle and back panels maintain
ultra-high rigidity and banish resonances. An exclusive laminate made
up of 1/2" MDF and 1/2" particle board maximizes stiffness and
reduces resonances in the top, bottom and side panels.
Sonance Cinema Subwoofers
Sonance Cinema Subwoofers will add the impact and drama that
makes watching movies at home so much fun. When installed in new
construction with the required Cinema TWO.SUB in-wall enclosures,
the THX Ultra-certified Cinema TWO.SUB system produces thunderous
bass performance in even the largest theater rooms. The in-wall
Cinema SUB system brings-home the bass in smaller theater rooms,
while The SUB provides THX Select-certified bass performance in
installations where a stand-alone sub would work best.

In 1983, Sonance co-founders Geoff Spencer and Scott
Struthers had a brainstorm of an idea. They took hi-
fidelity box speakers and created a way to conceal
them in a wall. This made the speakers less obtrusive
and much more aesthetically pleasing, without
sacrificing sonic quality....and thus, the in-wall speaker
was born. Since that time, Sonance has been on the
leading edge of Architectural Audio. From in-wall and
in-ceiling home theater systems to whole-house and
distributed audio, Sonance is leading the way with new
technologies and innovations. We continue to create
inspired, innovative, groundbreaking products that
blend seamlessly into your home to enhance your way
of life through the joy of music. Visit us on the web at
