Center Channels

A center-channel speaker anchors dialogue to the screen and works with the left and right speakers across the front of a home theater. Choose around your existing speakers, seating layout and available space, rather than cabinet size alone.

Before you choose:

• Match the front speakers: start with the manufacturer's recommended companions or speaker series, and check the impedance and amplifier requirements against your receiver.
• Plan the placement: measure the space above or below the screen, including cable clearance. Keep the speaker's front unobstructed and follow its mounting and orientation instructions, especially for in-wall or on-wall designs.
• Consider every seat: compare coverage across your listening area, not only the center seat. Position the speaker toward the listeners and check receiver channel levels and distance settings after installation.

Compare the Atlantic Technology 4400C-BLK, Phase Technology PC3.5BL and recessed Induction Dynamics C2.IW-BG, then confirm which fits your system.
