Loudspeaker system or custom home theater solution
Some rooms have special characteristics that bring them as close as possible to traditional speakers. Our online shop also offers center speakers from well-known brands such as Bose, JBL, Canton, Pioneer, Harman Kardon, and other manufacturers for such special applications. Investing in quality pays off, as professional and powerful sound quality is the prerequisite for perfect home entertainment. From subwoofer design to microdynamics: Even high-quality components are affordable and cost-effective in terms of sound quality and film entertainment. Compare the features and use the practical filters to find the center speakers that meet your needs and budget.
Good television is only half the battle: Since picture and sound go hand in hand, many viewers use a multi-channel system. The center speaker has a major impact on the sound of a multi-channel system. In addition to speech and voice, the speaker above or below the screen transmits monophonic effects and mixed music to the acoustic center.
The classic 5.1-channel multi-channel system, from which you can expect a realistic surround sound image, consists of two front speakers, two rear speakers, one center speaker, and one subwoofer. The center channel only produces the sounds that you can see in the picture. The center ensures that voices and songs are reproduced in the right direction. Furthermore, the center speaker emits monophonic effects, such as the noises of objects moving from one side to the other, all of which can be visually captured in the center of the picture. The front speakers should be positioned in an arc in front of the listening position, i.e., the center should be slightly further back than the two main speakers to the left and right of the center, so that all speakers are at the same distance from the listening position. If the playback time is different, this has a negative effect on the uniformity of the playback. If an arc is not possible, the center channel can be acoustically removed on many AV receivers (Center Delay).
Positioning of the center speaker
Normally, you see the actor's head in the upper half of the screen; the center speaker finds its perfect position here.
If the offset is too large, the screen shows a chaos of noises moving horizontally across the screen. If you use a projector, you can place the speaker behind the screen. In this case, we recommend an acoustic screen that lets the sound through. If you place the center under the TV as usual, the distance to the sound source is large enough that the speaker cannot be aligned with the tweeters of the main speakers.
