Cerwin-Vega Introduces New Contemporary Home Loudspeaker RL Line For Universal A/V Applications

1-Dec-00

Cerwin-Vega, manufacturer of high performance loudspeaker systems for home, mobile and professional audio applications, is introducing a new line of contemporary loudspeakers, designed for home theatre and A/V. The new RL line offers exceptional performance and value in a compact, small footprint design.The centerpiece of the new Cerwin-Vega line is the RL-18P, an elegant full-range tower featuring the new Cerwin-Vega EX+ extended-throw 8-inch rear-firing active subwoofer powered by a built-in discrete 100-watt RMS amplifier. Because the aluminum die-cast subwoofer is self-powered, receiver/amplifier power is focused on reproducing mid-to-high frequencies only, insuring realistic volume levels and uncompressed dynamics with even the lowest powered surround sound receivers. An output level control allows the user to precisely match the output of the subwoofer with associated electronics and environment. The amplifier accepts line level or speaker level inputs, is bi-wire capable, and operates on 115-volt to 230-volt systems (user-switchable).The RL-18P utilizes a new ferrofluid-cooled 1-inch TRL soft dome tweeter for outstanding clarity and extended high frequency response. The 6-inch midwoofer features an organic fiber-impregnated pulp cone and composite butyl rubber surround for exceptional damping in a low mass/high efficiency design. The midwoofer and tweeter are housed in a dedicated sub-enclosure, eliminating unwanted modulation distortion. To prevent diffraction, external cabinet edges are rounded and the refined contrasting grille is raised slightly off the cabinet. Convertible spiked feet allow direct floor coupling through carpeted surfaces for enhanced bass response. The fully video-shielded RL-18P has a suggested retail price of $499.95 each.The new RL-28W is the newest powered subwoofer from Cerwin-Vega. Two front-firing EX+ 8-inch aluminum diecast subwoofer drivers are powered by a discrete 200-watt RMS amplifier in a compact cabinet that can be placed virtually anywhere. The subwoofer features a continuously variable crossover and volume control for precise matching to other components. Phase switching insures that overall system coherency remains constant, regardless of subwoofer location. The RL-28W accommodates both line level and speaker level input/output signal and operates on 115-volt to 230-volt systems (user-switchable). The RL-28W is video-shielded and has a suggested retail price of $499.95 each.The versatile RL-16M is a 6-inch two-way high efficiency bookshelf monitor. Utilizing the same ferrofluid-cooled 1-inch TRL soft dome tweeter and 6-inch midwoofer found in the RL-18P, the RL-16M is ideal for use as rear channel surround sound or as a main front channel speaker when combined with the RL-28W powered subwoofer. With exceptional soundstage and precise pinpoint imaging characteristics, the RL-16M makes an excellent monitor for critical music listening experiences. The video-shielded RL-16M has a suggested retail price of $149.95 each.Cerwin-Vega's RL-25C center channel speaker provides distortion-free dynamic enhancement to movie soundtracks and surround sound recordings. The RL-25C is voice-matched to the RL-18P and RL-16M to provide a seamless presentation. The ferrofluid-cooled 1-inch TRL soft dome tweeter and two 5-inch high definition midwoofers are arranged in a D'Appollito array for distinct, precisely located dialog. A mounting platform is provided to allow upward or downward angle adjustment, depending upon placement requirements, making the RL-25C a truly versatile center channel speaker. The fully video-shielded RL-25C has a suggested retail price of $249.95 each.For more information about Cerwin-Vega, Inc., visit www.cerwinvega.com.
