Rockport Technologies Introduces TAURUS Center Channel Loudspeaker

The following is a press release issued by Rockport Technologies.

SOUTH THOMASTON, Maine | August 17, 2021 – Rockport Technologies is pleased to announce their latest product offering: The TAURUS center channel loudspeaker. Designed to partner with ATRIA II, AVIOR II, CYGNUS or LYRA based home theater systems, the TAURUS is available for pre-order today and is shipping in September with a retail price of $20,225.

“With people all around the world spending more time at home, we have noticed an increased demand from customers looking to integrate their audio systems into home cinema systems that the entire family can enjoy.” says Josh Clark, President of Rockport Technologies. “For those customers, the TAURUS is the perfect solution and sure to provide a better-than-cinema experience at home.”

The importance of exceptionally clean, natural midrange and high-frequency registers, coupled to a robust midbass, cannot be understated for a center channel due to the demanding requirements of this application. The dynamic envelope, articulation, and tonally neutral character of the TAURUS center channel provide a perfect match with all Rockport Technologies loudspeakers, yielding the most coherent audio experience for film and video.

The TAURUS is an extremely flexible unit which can be delivered either as a stand mounted center channel, or with a low plinth mount for in-cabinet installations. The bass and lower midrange registers are provided by two newly developed 7 inch midbass drivers. These drivers feature all of the hallmark Rockport Technologies design elements, including extremely robust cast aluminum frames, oversized spiders, vented titanium voice coil formers, and a newly developed variable section thickness carbon fiber sandwich composite cone. The midrange is handled by Rockport’s unrivalled 6 inch carbon fiber sandwich composite cone midrange unit, and high frequencies by a custom, waveguide mounted beryllium dome tweeter.
