RBH Announces Technical Upgrades and New Look to Popular MC Theater Series (1/2/2005)

RBH Sound Inc. introduces sonic upgrades and a complete visual redesign to their MC Theater Series lineup of home theater speakers. Dubbed the MKII series, these redesigned speakers take the already stellar sounding MC Theater Series and turn it up a notch in performance and aesthetic appeal.

For dealers and consumers familiar with the original MC Theater Series, the MKII aesthetic improvements are immediately evident. The redesigned baffle and countersunk woofers make for a much more attractive speaker when the grill is off and hides the "mechanics" of the speaker such as the screws securing the woofers to the cabinet. Beyond beautiful, the new Resonance Damping Alloy Baffle(TM) (RDAB) functions to damp cabinet vibrations and minimize tweeter diffraction.

Gone is the old swiveling tweeterÑin its place is a newly designed tweeter utilizing a ceramic magnet that offers superior power handling capabilities and better high frequency extension. "At first our dealers where concerned about losing the swiveling tweeter", stated Roger B. Hassing, president of RBH, "but once they heard how well the redesigned speakers performed, and how great they looked, all concerns were put to rest."

The new speakers still feature woofers made of proprietary aluminum cone technologyÑthe same technology featured on RBH's flagship products. The driver's inherent stiffness, low mass and self-damping properties allow them to deliver crisp, clear sound with immediacy and accuracy. The crossover networks have also been revamped to accommodate the new design for a seamless integration of all the drivers.

The MC Theater Series MKII line up of speakers includes two bookshelves (MC-4C MKII, MC6C MKII), two center channel speakers (MC-414 MKII, MC-616 MKII [new model]), a pair of towers (MC-6CT MKII), and two subwoofers available either powered, or passive (TS-10A, TS-12A). All speakers are available in an attractive black oak veneer finish and are shipping now.
