The CR101 two-way speakers from Sonance are our most popular multi-room
audio speakers, and regularly chosen by clients in a listening comparison on our speaker sound wall.
The quality of sound is good with bass note and richness that represents
excellent value for money. They have a 'footprint' of 248mm diameter,
the same as the Symphony and suit any location in the house. They
are also moisture resistant and so ideal for bathrooms and kitchens.
Bass response improvement
Speaker performance from the Sonance CR101, like any other in-ceiling speaker, can be enhanced by insulating the cavity with
rockwool or fibreglass insulation. When installing speakers in a ceiling, it is best to lay a sheet of
unfaced fiberglass insulation over the back of the speaker. This will also reduce transfer of sound to rooms above the speakers.
To further improve the sound quality, install insulation in the bays
adjacent to the speaker location. This will reduce noise produced by
the unsupported plasterboard.
These speakers are well suited to Russound CAA66 and Russound CA44
or CA4 multiroom systems or with Sonos ZonePlayers.
