In contrast to centre speakers featuring a genuine D'Appolito arrangement, the ARIA 2 MHT CENTER is well suited to horizontal positioning e.g. As already seen in the ARIA 2, the magnetostat is positioned in the middle of the slim-line baffle and is flanked by the two titanium mid-bass units. As a result of this choice of drivers and the linear frequency response, it is ideally suited as a complementary centre speaker in conjunction with the VOX 253 MTI or TOPAS, for example, to produce a high-end home theatre system. The ARIA 2 MHT CENTER is equipped with the popular combination of drivers consisting of the TI 100 - 8 Ohm and the MHT 12 - 8 Ohm. The small shelf-mounted satellite speakers produce the lively high frequencies and a balanced mid-range and provide the overall spatial qualities required. This optimised coupling technique means the position of the subwoofer is in reality not determinable. The satellite speakers are also steeply cut off towards the bottom end by means of an optimised crossover unit.

That is a level seldom achieved even by active subwoofers. The well-balanced driver, cabinet and frequency parameters enable the subwoofer to be separated off at 110 Hz with a slope rate of 30 dB/octave. The bandpass subwoofer cabinet contains the 13 cm long-stroke woofer W 130 S - 8 Ohm. On the other hand, the two subwoofers can also be placed together as mono subwoofers. Separating the subwoofer into two cabinets - left and right channels - means that the assignment to the corresponding satellite speaker is hidden. The VISATON subwoofer satellite system, ALTO GENESIS provides excellent listening pleasure in a very small space. Just because your sitting-room isn't large enough for big speakers, doesn't mean you have to do without high-quality sound.
