The completely redesigned center speaker of the Constellation line introduces a new level of acoustic depth, delivering even more precise and immersive sound performance. Thanks to meticulous engineering, it integrates seamlessly with every other component in the range, ensuring tonal consistency and high-level performance in any configuration. The new Phoenix model, both versatile and refined, has been specifically optimized for vocal clarity, naturally enhancing dialogue with remarkable detail. The result is a richer, more dynamic, and engaging audio experience—tailored for home cinema enthusiasts and demanding users alike. OUR CHOICE OF FREQUENCY. Constellation Phoenix The choice to specify a low-frequency cutoff at 48 Hz for a dialogue channel in a Dolby 5.1 system, although seemingly oversized with respect to the canonical requirements of the human voice, represents a deliberate and technically sound design decision. As correctly noted, the lowest fundamental of the male voice in the spoken register typically lies around 85 Hz, below which vocal information is generally not encoded in the center channels of a Dolby mix. However, it is essential to consider that the perception of vocal intelligibility does not depend solely on the fundamentals, but also — and in some cases primarily — on how the lower harmonics and transient components are handled by the playback system.
