A pair of CGN6685 Line Array Meter Modules, stacked two high, 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 aproximately 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 amplifers. 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 *New* Neo version of the CGN6685 with video shielded,
high output Neo6.5" woofers , is also available. It weighs only 26 Lbs!

FYI
www.neoloudspeakers.com is one of our websites that has more information
about Neodymium loudspeakers The AES link below will lead to a number
of papers about ribbons. Unfortunately you will have to purchase them.

- We are your ribbon network on the web. We have a lot of experience
and contacts. We know the benifits 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 apparant 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 there 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.
