Overview
The Cinema Ribbon Trios are high 
performance speakers that are specifi -
cally designed to work with your fl at 
panel display. Sharing technology with 
the rest of the Cinema Ribbon line, 
years of research and decades of ex-
perience have gone into these amazing 
loudspeakers.
The Cabinet 
The Cinema Ribbon Trios feature a carefully designed cabinet that stems from years 
of research into how the box affects the sound of the loudspeaker. The specialized 
facets of the Cinema Ribbon Trios result in a loudspeaker that is free of unwanted sonic 
bounces.
The Ribbon - A Legacy Refi ned
The ribbon in this loudspeaker is a remarkable piece of engineering, because it has 
the output capability, purity, and low distortion of a 6-foot tall ribbon - in fact, it is derived 
from Bob Carver’s award-winning Amazing Loudspeaker from the late 1970s! The sound 
from the CRS-3 ribbon is deliberately focused in the forward direction, with very little 
sound going up or down - reducing refl ections off the ceiling and fl oor, that disturb the 
sense of space and imaging. The CRS-3C features an integrated “acoustic lens,” that 
disperses the signal for center channel applications.  
The Woofers - A Legacy Refi ned
Sunfi re created the category of small-box, high-power subwoofers more than a 
decade ago with the original True Subwoofer. This design relies on high-pressure, “High 
Back-emf” technology that provides very high bass output from a very small box. When 
migrating this subwoofer technology to the midrange and high frequencies on the Cin-
ema Ribbon Trios, you get the same advantages: high output, small size, high effi ciency, 
and years of trouble-free operation.
Conclusion
The Cinema Ribbon Trios are the most powerful speakers available today for fl at 
panel display applications. Combine this with their specially designed cabinets and high-
effi ciency ribbons, and you have the ultimate home theater experience. Are you ready?
Happy listening!
