Reference Center Channel Clarity for High-End Home Theater Systems
The Gallo Acoustics Strada 2 Center Channel Speaker delivers exceptionally clear dialogue, precise imaging, and wide seating-area coverage from a compact horizontal loudspeaker. Designed specifically for the center position in a multichannel system, it combines Gallo’s patented CDT3 high-frequency technology with dual carbon-fiber mid/bass drivers and a rigid metal enclosure.
Unlike the vertically oriented Strada 2 reference loudspeaker, the center version positions its two 4-inch drivers and CDT3 tweeter side by side. This horizontal configuration produces a broad 120-degree dispersion pattern, helping dialogue and front-stage effects remain clear and consistent across multiple seating positions.
The Gallo Acoustics Strada 2 Center Channel Speaker can be positioned beneath or above a television or projection screen using the dedicated center table mount or center wall bracket. Its compact dimensions make it easier to integrate into premium home theaters without compromising reference-level performance.

Technology & Performance
CDT3 Cylindrical Diaphragm Transducer — Gallo’s patented tweeter uses a cylindrical diaphragm rather than a conventional dome. In the horizontal center-channel configuration, it provides a broad 120-degree dispersion pattern for improved coverage across multiple seats.
Dynamic Hyperbolic Carbon-Fiber Drivers — Two 4-inch drivers use rigid, low-mass carbon-fiber cones to reproduce voices, music, and effects with excellent transient response and low coloration.
Optimized Pulse Technology — Gallo’s OPT system is designed to integrate low, middle, and high frequencies into a unified sound source, supporting precise imaging and natural timing.
S2 Loading and Auxiliary Bass Cavities — The sealed enclosure uses Gallo’s proprietary S2 loading and auxiliary bass-cavity supplementation to deliver greater bass extension than its compact dimensions would normally suggest.
Home Theater Integration — The Gallo Acoustics Strada 2 Center Channel Speaker is voice-matched to the vertical Strada 2, making it ideal for a seamless three-channel front soundstage. A compatible subwoofer is recommended for full-range theater performance.
