THE CITATION 5.1 MUSIC MAGIC 5.1 IS RICH IN CONFIGURATIONS TO MEET THE DIVERSE MUSIC NEEDS OF MODERN CONSUMERS. Among them, the CITATION BAR has 3 built-in 20mm tweeters, 6 100mm×50mm oval woofers, with an output power of 150W, which acts as a center channel speaker in the system. Using the sound bar as a center channel speaker can increase the width of the center channel, and the use of a large space is conducive to the connection between the center and the left and right channels. The CITATION TOWER has one 25mm tweeter, two 4-inch woofers, and one 8-inch subwoofer with an output of 200W on each side. THE CITATION TOWER HAS A STRIKING TAPERED SHAPE, WHICH IS UNIQUE AND RECOGNIZABLE, AND IS THE FACE OF THE CITATION SERIES. THE CITATION SUB HAS A BUILT-IN 10-INCH WOOFER WITH AN OUTPUT OF 200W. The CITATION SURROUND has one 25mm tweeter, two 3-inch mid-woofers, and a 50W output unit to provide a full, loud surround channel that matches the powerful front speakers.

> 宽阔声场兼顾细节，浸享听觉盛宴
The CITATION 5.1 Music Magic 5.1 audition was carried out at the Guangzhou 7D Acoustic Technology Design Center, with a large audition space, close to 30 square meters, and the sound pressure and energy of the sound can be heard. I first watched the classic sci-fi film "Avatar", which is often used as a demonstration film in theaters because of its ups and downs and grand scenes. THE CITATION SUB DOES A GOOD JOB IN THE LOW END, WITH A LOT OF VIBRATION AND ENERGY, FAR EXCEEDING MY EXPECTATIONS FOR A 200W/10" SUBWOOFER. For example, the low-frequency image of the explosion changes from small to large, the energy spreads far, and the edges dissipate naturally, while the low-frequency image in the soundtrack is condensed, clear, and stops at the point, which is conducive to the immersion of the movie. THE CITATION TOWER IS PLACED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TV CABINET, AND THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS IS NOT LARGE, I THINK IT IS GENERALLY ARRANGED LIKE THIS IN THE HOME, BUT THE WHOLE SET OF CITATION THEATERS HAS A VERY WIDE AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL SOUND FIELD PERFORMANCE, AND THE ACTUAL LISTENING EXPERIENCE IS MUCH WIDER THAN THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE SPEAKERS ON BOTH SIDES, WHICH IS VERY RESTORING THE GRANDEUR OF THE "AVATAR" SCENE. In addition to the excellent diffusion angle and sound field performance of the CITATION TOWER and CITATION BAR, the rich and detailed sound of the harman/kardon CITATION SURROUND and the ultra-low latency wireless transmission of the whole system also contribute to the formation of an ideal surround sound field.
"1917", as a literary war film with more dialogue, won the 2020 Academy Award for Best Remix, and its sound design starts from the first-person perspective of hearing, using hearing to guide vision. COMPARED TO AVATAR, THIS MOVIE ALLOWED ME TO CALM DOWN AND APPRECIATE THE DETAILS OF THE SOUND SHOWN BY THE CITATION. AS A CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKER, THE CITATION BAR IS RELATIVELY WIDE, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE CENTER CHANNEL BEING "STRETCHED", THE VOCAL IMAGE IS STILL VERY COHESIVE, AND THE MIDRANGE IS THICK AND FULL, MAKING THE DIALOGUE SOUND MORE NATURAL. This is a one-shot movie, the picture changes with the characters, the sound is also closely fitted, and the sound has a very delicate reflection of the subtle changes in the picture, such as the protagonists when they encounter an explosion, the dialogue in the rubble has a real echo, and when they walk out of the building, the human voice suddenly opens up, and the sound effect and the scene are cleverly integrated, rendering the atmosphere appropriate. The dialogue of the whole drama has different textures of ambient sounds, and the distance is also different, such as the protagonist in the pit, at the water's edge, in the wilderness, and these details can also be felt in the sound field, so that my attention can completely follow the protagonist, which is very immersive. Music Magic 5.1 has a wide soundstage, which can not only create a grand and shocking sound effect, but also restore the sound details, providing users with a high-quality home viewing experience, and can enjoy cinema-level surround sound at home at any time.
> Supports streaming and unlocks new entertainment experiences
The CITATION BAR has 3 built-in HDMI IN inputs, 1 of which supports HDMI ARC backhaul, as well as an optical input and a 3.5mm AUX input. THE MUSIC MAGIC 5.1 PARTS OF CITATION 5.1 ARE CONNECTED TOGETHER AND USED AS A SINGLE UNIT, SO THE USER DOES NOT NEED TO CONTROL THEM INDIVIDUALLY. CITATION CINEMA SUPPORTS QQ MUSIC SCREEN MIRRORING, USERS CAN STREAM QQ MUSIC TO CITATION CINEMA AND ENJOY HIGH-QUALITY MUSIC. HARMAN KARDON HAS ALSO LAUNCHED A HK CITATION SURROUND APP, WHICH CAN MANAGE THE CITATION SERIES PRODUCTS IN MULTIPLE ROOMS, CONTROL THEIR PLAYBACK, AND ALSO SUPPORT TENCENT'S VOICE ASSISTANT FOR MORE CONVENIENT OPERATION. Music Magic 5.1 abandons complicated wired connections and supports wireless series connections, which can easily solve the wiring problems during installation, so that elegant notes can fill every corner of the family, and open up a new entertainment and audio experience anytime, anywhere.

CITATION 5.1 Music Magic 5.1 has several sound modes, when listening to music, I prefer to use the virtual surround sound mode, that is, the 2.0 channel music is processed into a 5.1 channel output, which can make use of two surround speakers, and significantly increase the sense of enveloping three-dimensional music. The point is that the effect of the virtual analog sound processing in Music Magic 5.1 sounds very natural, there is no feeling of artificially "elongating" the sound field, and the two ends of the sound field extend slightly to my sides, which makes me feel more present. When I played Salvador Accardo's version of The Four Seasons, I heard a nice tone, the strings were shiny and transparent, and the knots were so cohesive that I felt as if I was sitting in a spacious studio and listening to them play in front of me, and I was very enchanted. Playing Beyonce's "Run The World (Kaskade Club Remix)", although the sound of classical music is far from electronic dance music, Harman Kardon's tuning is well versed in the "inclusiveness" of home audio, interpreting the momentum and movement of dance music, and the sound is thick and wide. The low end is what I really like, the dance music naturally has a strong beat, and the low frequency to the low frequency of Music Magic 5.1 is smoothly connected, and the energy has a natural flow, and there seems to be no gap between the speakers. BECAUSE BOTH THE CITATION BAR AND THE CITATION TOWER HAVE PLENTY OF POWER AND EXCELLENT SOUND QUALITY, THE LOW MIDRANGE IS ALSO EXCELLENT. Music Magic 5.1 has a very good dynamic performance when performing music or enjoying movies, with silky three-frequency connections and mellow and delicate sound quality, creating an immersive listening experience, allowing consumers to enjoy a high-quality audio-visual feast at home.
