The Christie® LA5S is the optimum solution for premium surround audio in large theaters. Purpose-built for cinema, it combines advanced ribbon driver technology with a unique parabolic line array design in a single compact articulated cabinet. Providing perfect timbre matching with our Christie LA series speakers, the Christie LA5S features greatly enhanced clarity, dramatically reduced distortion and ultra-fast transient response. The extremely low mass of the ribbon drivers allows Christie LA5S to respond very quickly to signals. This eliminates the effects of high frequency breakup and power compression while enabling extended high frequency response and the accurate reproduction of the original source material.
