ERA 2 - Cinema screen speaker
Breaking through the limitations of traditional screen speakers, ERA 2 redefines sound delivery with unmatched precision. This innovative speaker seamlessly combines efficiency and coverage with expert tools to control room acoustics, all while connecting as effortlessly as any conventional screen speaker. No additional processing, connections, tuning, or training is needed to unlock the full potential of ERA 2.
The Spread Array MF technology introduces the performance and efficient sound delivery of a line array, eliminating the inherent loving and coverage unpredictability of evenly spaced drivers. Smart mid-range driver positioning ensures coverage that perfectly matches the line-array-grade HF section.
ERA 2 features three superior HF drivers with virtually non-resonant Pure Beryllium Titanium Nitride diaphragms, adding a new layer of comfortable clarity to the listening experience. These drivers are combined in a uniform line-array waveguide, providing unprecedented focus and control.
The exclusive passive cardioid triple 12” LF section efficiently eliminates rear cabinet radiation, achieving uniform low-frequency coverage without extensive equalization. This improves transient response and complements the driver headroom, while also preventing sound bleed to adjacent rooms—enhancing the overall customer experience in multiplex cinemas.

4 Optimized coverage HF horn has a wider dispersion in the near-field and narrower in the far field. HF horn has a 40° vertical coverage and a radiation axis aiming 15° down from the horizontal plane. At an upper vertical threshold (5° up from horizontal plan) speaker has a horizontal coverage of 60°. At a lower vertical threshold (35° down from horizontal plan) speaker has a horizontal coverage of 90°
