The Alpha version of the Planetarium system uses a pair of
controlled-pattern monopole main modules that cover the range from
70 Hz on up. The drivers are very high quality prosound types (95
dB, 8 ohms), which have negligible power compression at normal
in-home levels. The radiation pattern is exceptionally consistent
through the crossover region and on up. The Alpha system is
optimized for situations where the main modules must be very
placement-flexible.
The Planetarium systems take an innovative, wholistic approach
to optimizing the loudspeaker/room interaction. The different
types of main modules are tailored for different room situations,
and a common four-piece subwoofer system gives smoother, more
pitch-correct bass throughout the room than is possible with
conventional low frequency systems.
