Description
JBL Cinema CRF2 Reflector Horn for Studio & Mixing Applications
The Cinema CRF2 is a professional-grade reflector horn engineered for recording studios and mixing environments where precise mid-range and high-frequency reproduction is critical. This pair of horns employs patented Dual Dissimilar Array technology and a 30-degree flush-mount design to deliver controlled directivity and seamless integration into studio monitor setups. Built for sessions requiring robust, cinema-grade audio performance, the CRF2 represents serious pro-audio engineering for tracking and mixing work.
Recording & Mixing Clarity
The CRF2 achieves a sensitivity rating of 102 dB at 2.83V @ 1m, allowing detailed monitoring from moderate amplifier levels without strain. The frequency response spans 2.33kHz–11.2kHz at 3dB, with extended response to 23kHz at -10dB, making these horns ideal for capturing and mixing vocals, instruments, and critical mid and treble detail. The dual 2415J-XP 37.5mm (1.5 in) compression drivers work in tandem to ensure smooth, controlled coverage across the studio frequency range, translating mixes accurately across playback systems.
Studio Setup & Technical Specs
Rated for 150 Watts AES (100 hours) with a recommended amplifier of 300 Watts, the CRF2 offers headroom for consistent, clean operation during long tracking and mixing sessions. The 8Ω impedance rating (minimum 6.65Ω @ 20kHz) integrates easily into studio monitor systems and amplifier chains. Compact dimensions of 508 × 439 × 368mm (20 × 17.3 × 14.5 in) and a weight of 11.3kg (25 lb) per unit keep the horns manageable for studio placement, while the 2520 mounting bracket (sold separately) ensures secure, angled installation for optimal listening position.
