Overview

A center channel speaker sits at the middle of a surround system and carries most of the dialogue in movies and shows. It shines placed directly above or below the TV so voices seem to come from the screen.

Sizing & placement

It is 20 inches wide, 7 inches deep, and 7 inches tall, a low, wide shape made to sit just under or over a TV. Keep it centered on the screen and its front flush with the edge of the console so sound isn't blocked.

Where it works

Living rooms, media rooms, and rec rooms; 5.1 and larger home theater setups.
