Christie’s new LA3C line array ceiling surround and Christie LA3S line array surround speakers are part of the Christie Vive Audio cinema sound solution that was announced in July. Featuring the combination of ribbon driver technology and a unique parabolic line array design in a single compact cabinet, Christie says the additional speakers deliver exceptionally even coverage throughout the auditorium, increasing the optimal listening area up to four times that of the standard point source systems. Christie also says that the extremely low mass of the ribbon drivers allows them to respond quickly to audio signals and eliminates the effects of high frequency breakup and power compression, resulting in the reproduction of the source material with exceptional clarity and accuracy.

These speakers are aimed at cinemas, but will be used in live large-format installs as well.

The entire line is here.
