Movies have become integrated into lives in many ways. The movie theater has become the center of social community and memories. They have been transformed from a single screen to a multi-screen complex. Maintaining the smooth operation of all the systems has become demanding. Every movie theater needs to provide the audience with a seamless experience on each visit to create loyal customers.

Crown® CXM2000 is a Cinema Monitor and Crossover System. With the CXM2000, audiences can enjoy wonderful sound from JBL cinema speakers. It also allows for either processor input signal or amplifier output signal monitoring, which immediately indicates when a signal path has a problem.
