CONSTELLATION
CYGNUS MK2
3 way Floorstand
This floorstanding speaker has a 3-way configuration. The T38 tweeter and 130mm woofer are located on the front of the speaker, while another 130mm woofer is located at the bottom. This configuration allows Cygnus to extend up to 50 Hz and have higher dynamic capacitance. This is the result of placing the woofer in the lower part, which reduces the load on the front drive. The result is a significant increase in articulation and detail, and therefore a reduction in listening fatigue.
Details in Movement
DESIGN IS NOT JUST WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AND FEELS LIKE. DESIGN IS HOW IT WORKS.
The pressure that pushes the air inside the reflex duct is extremely high. Consider the analogy of hydraulic lines that push water upward. As the salt loses fluid pressure, the jets lose speed and weaken. Hence the goal must be to retain the optimal pressure within the reflex duct to ensure a consistent strength in the acoustic wave, while avoiding the audible noise past pressure speeds of 130km/h. The tweeter with a soft dome of 38 mm in diameter, without coolant iron in the air gap, and a “waveguide” support, make it at the same time precise but soft, natural but resolute. Above all, it is so chaste that it can withstand high sound pressures and very low crossover frequencies of the crossover filter, for the benefit of a higher tonal cohesion between the two transducers..
Reflective Surface
Constellation Cygnus Mk2
The NRS principle uses the proximity of the bearing surface and the structure of the drivers to increase bass performance. Frequencies emitted by a woofer in this manner reduce distortion, as twice the efficiency is achieved by half the displacement of its membrane. The system applied to the Cygnus model is fully designed to reproduce frequencies from 50 to 170 Hz. As a result, NRS achieves double the SPL (3 dB gain) for the same distortion.
