DUALMONO  CENTER CHANNEL

In the new world of Multi-Channel Audio/Video, the 5.1 standard for Dolby AC3, DTS and the new DVDA and SACD audio formats are Left Front, Center, Right Front, Left Rear, Right Rear, and Subwoofer channels. There are a number of challenges associated with these new systems in terms of both performance and aesthetics.

A typical system places a discrete Center Channel speaker either above or below a video monitor or television. This means that the source of sound appears to come from the location of the speaker. Additionally, most high performance center channels are large and obtrusive and do not integrate well into a home environment.

Artison’s Center Channel solution, places two speakers on either side of the monitor that both produce the monaural Center Channel signal. The dual speaker approach places the apparent source of the sound in the center of the picture where it belongs and eliminates the cumbersome box that usually sits above or below the TV. Artison has created a left and right speaker that contains the discrete Center Channel speakers. DualMono integrates aesthetics without compromising performance for home theater applications that utilize the new flat panel Plasma or LCD Displays.
