Features
Performance
- Purpose-built for auditoria with non-acoustically-transparent Direct-View LED walls, keeping the acoustic image locked to the screen plane and aligned with the picture.
- Dual 12-inch woofers with SOVOX ADM™ foam-edge tightly-pressed paper cones; frequency response 45 Hz–20 kHz (±3 dB) with usable extension to 33 Hz.
- 100° × 20°–30° nominal coverage suits wide, shallow seating areas.
Engineering
- Mid/high horn rotates as required to suit different screen positions and mounting orientations.
- Bi-amplified active crossover at 300 Hz (Linkwitz–Riley 24 dB/oct) assigns LF and MF/HF to dedicated amplifier channels, with a built-in 3.0 kHz passive network within the mid/high module.
- Slim mid/high module is only 198 mm deep and 223 mm high, fitting the narrow space around LED panels.
Economy & maintenance
- Two-module division of labor: the LF module stands on the floor while the 9.6 kg mid/high module mounts around the screen, minimizing the floor space required beside the LED wall.

Overview
The ES3264 is a compact three-way, bi-amplified screen-channel system for cinemas using non-acoustically-transparent Direct-View LED walls. Because an LED wall does not pass sound, the screen channel moves to a two-module layout around the panel: the bass-reflex dual-12-inch low-frequency module stands on the floor, while the slim sealed mid/high module (two 6.5-inch midranges plus a 2-inch compression driver) mounts above or beside the LED screen. Frequency response is 45 Hz–20 kHz (±3 dB) with 100° × 20°–30° nominal coverage.
The mid/high module is only 198 mm deep and 9.6 kg, mounting to the slim cavity around the panel without intruding on the screen edge; the horn turns with the screen position and mounting orientation, keeping the acoustic image aligned with the picture for wide, shallow seating. The mid/high module's 2.7-ohm nominal impedance calls for explicit checks of amplifier load capability, cable loss and limiter settings.

- 1Two length values are given: the first is the usable range on continuous power, the second on program power. Program power is a short-term maximum output and is not a level the system can sustain continuously. Target levels follow the SMPTE ST 202 / RP 200 cinema reference level: 85 dB for screen channels plus 20 dB peak headroom, measured at the reference listening position (RLP); hall depth = listening distance x 1.5. Listening distance is derived from free-field distance attenuation. The continuous-power range uses the rated maximum SPL in this table; the program-power range uses the rated value +3 dB (program power being twice the continuous power). The calculated maximum SPL (rated +6 dB, short-term peak) is not used for these figures. Screen loss, power compression, system limiting and room gain are not included - this is a theoretical estimate, not a measured guarantee; on-site verification is recommended. Operating beyond the recommended figure may result in, but is not limited to: dynamic compression, increased distortion, extraneous noise, and in severe cases equipment damage.
- 2Low-frequency response and sensitivity specifications are referenced to half-space (2π) conditions, representative of typical cinema baffle-wall installation. Frequency-response graphs are measured in an anechoic free-field (4π) environment unless otherwise noted. In the low-frequency region the same loudspeaker measures about 6 dB higher under 2π than under 4π (in practice 3–6 dB depending on frequency and baffle conditions); this is a difference of measurement convention, not of performance.
- 3Rating based on an IEC filtered random-noise test signal, band-limited 50 Hz–20 kHz, with a peak-to-average ratio of 6 dB
- 4Recommended amplifier output at the applicable impedance should not exceed the program power, giving an unclipped output waveform while avoiding loudspeaker damage; an amplifier capable of at least the RMS continuous power (AES 100 h) is recommended to realize full loudspeaker performance. The actual amplifier match should be determined by calculation for the listening distance (see note 1).
- 5Calculated maximum SPL is derived from the rated (continuous) power and half-space (2π) sensitivity and is a calculated, not measured, figure; at a 6 dB peak-to-average ratio it exceeds the rated value by 6 dB, representing short-term peak capability rather than a level the system can sustain.
- 6The frequency-response graphs on this page are measured on-axis at 1 W/1 m in an anechoic free-field (4π) environment with 1/6-octave smoothing; the frequency response and sensitivity in the specification table are stated under half-space (2π) conditions. Lower readings in the low-frequency region of the graph therefore reflect the difference in convention rather than a difference in performance. 2π-format curves are available on request.
