Neo Ribbons
Speakon NL4 and screw terminals top & bottom ATM flyware, Omnimount bracket & stand socket CGN6685 Line Array Meter Modules are pictured on the right.  Each Ribbon line array is a one meter high building block  that can be easily assembled into long columns. A three high rig is approximately 10 ft. in length and will "throw"a long way with pattern control to lower frequencies.  This column approach is often a much more economical way to build  arrays when compared to typical curvilinear systems. Typical line array enclosures have expensive multi-position flying hardware, require multiple in-out cabling and use up a lot of amplifiers.  In many cases your paying a lot more for features that you don't need. The CGN6685 is a 2-way loudspeaker with six  6.5"woofers  (opt. Neo6.5"), and five  8" Push-Pull Neodymium  Ribbons in an ultra light weight composite enclosure. They are available in Black or White finish with internal Flying / mounting hardware  A  Neo version of the CGN6685 with video shielded, high output Neo6.5" woofers , is also available. It weighs only  26 Lbs!   New*    Now You can also order a wooden cabinet version of the CGN6685. (18-ply. Baltic Birch ) Black,White or Birch raw finish.  40.5" H x 10.5" W x 7.37" D  This version has more flypoints (12), rear inputs (dual Speakons) and a wrap around metal grill.  It's designed to work flawlessly on the road and in permanent installations.  A small package with high output sound that's incredibly  light weight , Only 37.5 lbs. (17 kgs)  We strive to make our ribbon arrays as durable as as possible.  We now offer a ribbon protection network that prevents DC current (clipping amp) from reaching the driver. Limiting is automatic.  A solid state regulation circuit controls  the power input to the speaker  and turns levels down only when necessary.  Now that's one less thing to worry about. A picture of the new CGN1800 sub compact is located on the last page- (ribbons loudspeakers)  It's an 18" subwoofer with the right dimensions that's loaded with a high power 18" woofer.  Subs designed to be bass blocks that fit into places where space is at a premium.

We have a lot of experience and contacts.  We know the benefits and the limitations of current ribbon technology. So if your feel that your application requires a ribbon we can be of service. Most ribbons have a very thin form factor and are very lightweight compared to conventional transducers. Good ribbon driver technology becomes apparent when listening to the incredibly fast transient response, ultra low distortion, high sensitivity and extended frequency response (typically beyond 40 kHz)of these compact ribbon drivers. The flat radiating surface of a ribbon is ideal for the radiation of sound. A ribbon diaphragm is also evenly driven across its entire surface . The sound emanates from the ribbon as a coherent wave front that is free from resonances, cancellations or delays. It's a minimalist approach to producing sound with out compression chambers, throats, phase plugs, or voice coil formers. There are no obstructions and the ribbon diaphragm is ideally coupled to the air load in front of it so the sound expands naturally with even dispersion over its entire frequency range. A ribbon driver is also a purely resistive load (non inductive) so any amplifier easily drives it. It is also easy to passively crossover. Networks can be much more elegant and straightforward in their design. You can eliminate many of the complicated impedance compensation filters found in conventional designs. One can often use a more purist approach to system designs that results in better transitions between drivers , less distortion, more dynamic range and consistent polars in the critical crossover region. In sum ribbon drivers have certain inherent advantages over conventional speakers and are a good choice whenever audiophile sound is required. It's a new era for ribbon technology.  High strength Neodymium magnets, space age diaphragm material and high temperature trace adhesives make the latest models incredibly efficient.   The combination of high sensitivity and power handling of the new  designs make them ideal for many pro sound applications. Remember good sound means low distortion and once it's in your system your problems will compound.   Good sound fundamentals require good transducers.  For more information about us please see the link to CGN audio labs Thank you for your interest.
