Single 2-way black ash C series LCR center-channel speaker

548379511

The vital center channel is at the heart of any 5.1- or 7.1-channel surround sound setup — except that the remarkable C6LCR can also be used as part of a front or rear satellite pair. The latest 0.75" aluminum tweeter with "tangerine" waveguide is flanked by two 5.25" woofers to produce both a center speaker with precise and captivating vocals or a powerful satellite adding depth and dynamics to any surround sound system. As with all of KEF's C series speakers, gold-plated terminals ensure perfect audio transmission and magnetic shielding allows for safe positioning next to any electronic equipment.

Sold as a single speaker

Double duty

One speaker. Two applications. First, as a single center-channel speaker in your 5.1- or 7.1-channel home theater surround sound system, the KEF C6LCR combines its improved 0.75" tweeter with two 5.25" woofers to enhance your listening experience with clear vocals, nuanced movie dialogue, and arresting center-channel audio effects. On the other hand, when used as a part of a pair, this KEF C series speaker offers full, powerful, two-way surround-channel audio. Further, a whole host of design features showcases the performance potential of KEF's C series speakers.

The C series' foundation

Before we delve into the details of the C6LCR's high- and low-frequency drivers, let's take a quick look at the C series' repertoire of performance-enhancing design features. First on the list: speaker-wire terminals. Not only does the C6LCR have dual sets of binding posts that accommodate bi-wiring and bi-amplification for clean frequency response, but the binding posts are gold-plated for high-fidelity transmission of your audio signal. Further, built-in invisible keyhole mounting points allow for effortless and seamless mounting of the C6LCR to any vertical surface. Next, the use of an ultra-rigid cabinet construction and a dense, dual-layer baffle system minimizes internal resonance and unwanted distortion of your favorite audio. Finally, magnetic shielding of the drivers allows all of the C series loudspeakers to be safely placed near your television with no risk of damage to the screen.

A high-frequency medley: tweeters and tangerines

What if a high-frequency driver's soundstage could be widened to fill your entire listening area, while still preserving the integrity of high-frequency audio reproduction? With its new "tangerine" waveguide, the C6LCR's 0.75" aluminum-dome tweeter delivers both a smoother, clearer high-frequency response and an even more expansive audio dispersion, leaving even further behind the notion of an audio "hot-spot." An appropriate first song: Led Zeppelin's "Tangerine", what else?
