THE CENTER CHANNEL MEASURES 38.25" W X 9" D X 8" H AND CONTAINS ALMOST AS MANY DRIVERS AS A PAIR OF SYMBOLS! THERE ARE THREE OF THE CUSTOM DESIGNED CERAMIC-COATED WOOFERS AND TWO TWEETERS IN EACH CENTER. WE HAVE ALSO DESIGNED A PROPRIETARY MACHINED MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR THE CENTER. THE MOUNT HAS BEEN SPECIFICALLY ENGINEERED TO PROVIDE AN AUDIBLE IMPROVEMENT BY ACOUSTICALLY ISOLATING IT FROM THE ENVIRONMENT WHILE AT THE SAME TIME OFFERING A CONVENIENT AND PRECISE TILTING MECHANISM FOR CALIBRATING THE WAVE LAUNCH OF THE CENTER CHANNEL SYSTEM. THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY WEIGHS APPROXIMATELY 52 LBS.
THE KEY TO THE SYSTEM IS THE INTEGRATION OF ALL OF THESE ELEMENTS. A REVOLUTIONARY CONCEPT IN POLAR RESPONSE BLENDING IS AT THE HEART OF THE SUPERLATIVE SONICS THAT THIS SYSTEM IS CAPABLE OF PROVIDING. FOR THE FIRST TIME, A THEATER SYSTEM IS CAPABLE OF CREATING A SPHERICALLY INTEGRATED SOUND FIELD ENVELOPING THE LISTENER. THIS SYSTEM IS SO DEMONSTRATIVE OF THE EDGE OF THE ART, THAT WE WERE INVITED BY THE AUDIO ENGINEERING SOCIETY TO DEMONSTRATE THE HISTORY OF ENCODING OF SPATIAL INFORMATION FROM MONO TO MULTI-CHANNEL USING THE AVALON MULTICHANNEL SYSTEM. WE ARE STILL RECEIVING ACCOLADES FROM THE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING COMMUNITY FOR THE RESOLUTION AND ACCURACY SHOWN OFF IN LOS ANGELES LAST SEPTEMBER.
THE RESPONSE TO THE SYMBOL AS A TWO-CHANNEL TRANSDUCER HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING WORLDWIDE. ALREADY REVIEWS IN GERMANY, HOLLAND, HONG KONG AND TAIWAN HAVE HERALDED THE SYMBOL'S PERFORMANCE FOR ITS STAGING, DYNAMICS AND TRANSPARENCY. NOTHING IN IT'S PRICE RANGE EVEN COMES CLOSE! (THEIR CONCLUSION, NOT JUST OURS)
THE CIT (CUSTOM INSTALLATION TRANSDUCER) IS OUR IN-WALL PRODUCT DESIGNED AS A TRUE REPLACEMENT FOR IN-ROOM LOUDSPEAKERS. IT HAS ALREADY BEEN MAKING SERIOUS WAVES IN OUR INDUSTRY. ALL AGREE THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD ANY OTHER IN-WALL PRODUCT THAT IS ABLE TO PRODUCE SUCH DYNAMIC, ARTICULATE AND VISCERAL RENDERINGS OF MUSIC OR FILM SOUNDTRACKS. THE CIT CAN EASILY REPLACE FLOOR-STANDING LOUDSPEAKERS COSTING UPWARDS OF $4000 OR MORE.
INSTALL FIVE CITS IN A HOME THEATER BEHIND AN ACOUSTICALLY TRANSPARENT WALL COVERING (LIKE THE ACOUSTIC ROOM SYSTEMS AND OWENS CORNING PRODUCTS) AND NOW THE SYSTEM IS TRANSPARENT TO THE USER AND COMPLETELY HIDDEN FROM VIEW. THIS ALLOWS INTERIOR DESIGN ARCHITECTS AND THEIR CLIENTS THE FREEDOM TO CREATE A SURROUND SPACE WITHOUT THE NEED FOR FLOOR STANDING TRANSDUCERS. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU MET AN INTERIOR DESIGNER THAT LIKED SEEING ANY LOUDSPEAKER IN A LIVING SPACE? IT IS NOW POSSIBLE TO REALIZE THE PERFECT "OUT OF SIGHT" SOLUTION! FOR THE LESS CRAFTY OR THOSE WITHOUT AN INTERIOR DESIGNER BUDGET, A BASIC GRILLE IS INCLUDED THAT CAN EASILY BE CUSTOMIZED BY PAINTING OR INSERTING VIRTUALLY ANY ACOUSTICALLY TRANSPARENT GRILLE CLOTH TO MATCH OR CONTRAST THE WALL COLOR. THE BASIC GRILLE CAN THEN BE HUNG OVER THE WALL OPENING (TO COVER THE INSTALLATION) IN THE SAME MANNER AS ONE WOULD HANG A PICTURE FRAME. THE CIT SHIPS WITH ALL MOUNTING HARDWARE AND GRILLES FOR A SEAMLESS INSTALLATION AND IS AVAILABLE THROUGH YOUR LOCAL AMCS DEALER OR CUSTOM INSTALLATION PROFESSIONAL.
FOR THE WORLDWIDE PROFESSIONAL MARKET, WE HAVE INTRODUCED THE STUDIO PRO. THE PERFORMANCE, AS EXPECTED, IS EXCEPTIONAL. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DESIGNED FOR THE RECORDING PROFESSIONAL, LOCAL AUDIO DEALERS HAVE BEEN ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THE STUDIO PRO FOR USE IN THEATER SYSTEMS AS AN LCR TRANSDUCER. PLAYING LOUD WITHOUT COMPRESSING DYNAMICS, REMAINING SMOOTH MUSICAL AND ARTICULATE WHILE PROVIDING VERY IMPRESSIVE LOW-END WEIGHT AND HEFT, ARE ITS HALLMARKS. IT IS USABLE IN BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL ORIENTATION DUE TO ITS INTEGRATED POLAR RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS. THE STUDIO PRO HAS BECOME THE PERFECT SOLUTION FOR THE CUSTOM INSTALLATION PROFESSIONAL AS WELL. THESE TRANSDUCERS CAN EASILY HIDE IN THE CUSTOM CABINETRY OF MANY ENTERTAINMENT CENTERS BY SIMPLY COVERING THE OPENINGS WITH AN ACOUSTICALLY TRANSPARENT GRILL CLOTH. THE CONSUMER CAN NOW HAVE THE SAME PROFESSIONAL TWO-CHANNEL OR SURROUND MONITORING SYSTEM IN THE HOME THAT IS SETTING THE STANDARD IN THE RECORDING INDUSTRY. THESE TRANSDUCERS ARE AVAILABLE ONLY IN A DURABLE BLACK TEXTURED FINISH.
IN ADDITION, AVALON MUSIC SYSTEMS IS THE EXCLUSIVE US DISTRIBUTOR FOR THE DAAD (DIFFUSION ABSORPTION ACOUSTIC DEVICES), DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED IN ITALY BY ACUSTICA APPLICATA. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE A REALISTIC PORTRAYAL OF RECORDED MUSIC OR THE PROPER AMBIENCE ENCODED IN FILM SOUNDTRACKS, IT IS NECESSARY TO ADDRESS THE INHERENT ANOMALIES IN ALL PLAYBACK ENVIRONMENTS. IT IS A WELL-KNOWN FACT THAT ROOM ACOUSTICS CONTRIBUTE MORE THAN 70% TO ANY SONIC PRESENTATION. THE EXPERTS, FROM CONCERT HALL DESIGNERS TO THE BEST RECORDING ENGINEERS, HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT AN ACOUSTICALLY BALANCED ENVIRONMENT HAS THE ABILITY TO EXTRACT AN EXCEPTIONAL SONIC PERFORMANCE FROM EVEN A MODEST PLAYBACK SYSTEM. A PROPERLY TREATED ROOM WILL ALWAYS OUTPERFORM AN UNTREATED ENVIRONMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE COST OF THE SYSTEM ITSELF. THE DAAD PRODUCTS ARE INDISPENSABLE TOOLS FOR BOTH THE AUDIOPHILE AND RECORDING ENGINEER. THEY AFFORD ANY INDIVIDUAL THE ABILITY TO CORRECT UNWANTED ACOUSTIC ANOMALIES WITHIN THE LISTENING ENVIRONMENT WHILE PROVIDING FULL CONTROL OVER THE SOUNDSTAGE BY HANDLING SECONDARY AND TERTIARY ROOM REFLECTIONS. WITH CAREFUL SET UP AND TUNING, AN AURAL ILLUSION OF "BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS" CAN BE ACHIEVED. THE DAADS ARE AVAILABLE IN THREE SIZES (TO CORRECT SPECIFICALLY TARGETED FREQUENCY BANDS) AND TWO COLORS WHICH SHOULD EASILY COMPLEMENT ANY PLACEMENT OR ROOM AESTHETIC CONSIDERATION. PLEASE CONTACT US FOR FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS. FOR SERIOUS CUSTOMERS, WE WILL PREPARE A CUSTOMIZED ACOUSTIC ROOM EVALUATION AND TREATMENT PLAN.
