RBH Adds Compact Theater System To Its Growing Line Of Home Theatre-Based Speaker Products

RBH Is The First Speaker Manufacturer To Offer A 7.1 Speaker System In One Package

5-Feb-01

RBH Sound Inc. introduces Compact Theater, a pair of new compact home theatre speaker systems that is available in either 5.1 or 7.1 configurations. To date, RBH is the first speaker manufacturer to offer a sonically-matched 7.1 speaker system in one package. With new surround sound formats such as Surround EXô and DTSÆ-ESô, RBH decided to create an affordable and easy speaker solution. The standard 5.1 system is comprised of four MM-4 satellite speakers for main and surround channels, one C-4 center speaker and an MS-8 subwoofer. Just by adding another pair of MM-4s, the consumer can easily upgrade at a later date to a 7.1 system, or purchase the complete 7.1 package and immediately enjoy the sonic benefits of a totally integrated and matched eight-speaker system.The Compact Theater systems are unlike any mini home theatre speaker systems currently on the market. The enclosures for the center and surround speakers are constructed from a die-cast metal that makes the speakers extremely inert, and their non-parallel sidewalls help eliminate internal standing waves. Also, uncharacteristic to a value oriented mini-system are the aluminum drivers. The 4-inch woofers found in the C-4 and MM-4, and the 8-inch driver in the MS-8 are ""true blue"" proprietary aluminum drivers, not polypropylene drivers that are painted to look like aluminum. To deliver the ""pant leg ruffling"" experience that every home theatre enthusiast craves, you need a powerful subwoofer - thatís were the MS-8 comes in. Employing an aluminum 8-inch woofer and a downward-firing aluminum passive radiator, this mini powerhouse delivers impressive bass all the way down to 40Hz. The subwoofer features an internal 100-watt RMS amplifier, volume control, variable crossover and binding posts for setup of the systems in a sub/sat configuration.Mounting the speakers in your living area is made easy using the threaded inserts that are compatible with most universal mounting brackets. RBH will soon offer their own mounting brackets made especially for the Compact Theater systems. The speakers can also be stand-mounted and are available in black or white. Suggested retail pricing of the Compact Theater is $999 for the CT-5, a 5.1 system, and $1199 for the CT-7, a 7.1 system in black or white. The system is expected to ship in the second quarter of 2001.For more information about RBH Sound, visit www.rbhsound.com.
