Constellation

So Much More
Than Sound

Acoustics shape our culture and our communication. They let us better understand each other, connect us to a shared experience, and even have the power to completely transform a space.

Four Ways To Engage

Most acoustic systems can deliver performers to their audience, but they don’t address all the paths to effective and engaging communication. Constellation is the only solution that delivers all four communication types, making acoustics natural, more immersive, and more complete than ever.

Performer to AudienceThe audience is immersed and emotionally engaged in the performance

Audience to PerformerAudiences need to interact with and convey their emotions to the performers

Performer to PerformerThe performers can hear subtle variances, optimizing their playing and performing as an ensemble

Audience to AudienceHearing the roar of the applause creates the shared experience and brings the audience to their feet

How
Constellation Works

Using an array of ambient sensing microphones, sophisticated digital signal processing, and world-class loudspeakers, Constellation modifies the reverberant characteristics of a venue and redistributes sound throughout the space, ensuring a natural acoustic experience in every seat.

Where
Constellation Works

From the cinema that needs to transform into a chamber music space instantly to the professor who can command the attention of every student, Constellation is behind the scenes of any acoustic environment.

Constellation has many other applications, from recording studios and residential to museums and outdoor venues. Please reach out to our sales team to discuss how Constellation can solve acoustic challenges for your venue.

LIVE PERFORMANCE SPACES

“

In jazz and almost every form of music, extraordinary concerts can only happen when musicians hear each other clearly, and audiences hear and feel exactly what is happening on stage... If you have a space that is even slightly problematic, do yourself a favor—install Constellation and perfect the experience for both musician and listener.”

Wynton MarsalisManaging and Artistic Director, Jazz at Lincoln Center

CROSS-GENRE

“

[At SoundBox,] Constellation provides the optimal acoustics for each musical genre and has helped us create a space where audience and musicians can explore a new kind of musical journey together.”

Michael Tilson ThomasMusic Director, San Francisco Symphony

CLASSICAL

“

[With Constellation,] the Meyers have thus had a democratizing influence, allowing ensembles to obtain pleasing results in problematic spaces. They have helped to make classical music a more mobile, adaptable beast, one that is freer to roam the entire cultural landscape. A mirage of the Musikverein can arise almost anywhere, with a few swipes on a screen.”
