PSB Alpha C10 Center Channel Speaker in Walnut – PSB

Designed to be mounted horizontally or vertically in a TV unit or under a projector screen, the C10 Center in the new Alpha Series will be the most important speaker in your surround sound system. With its wide flat response and ideal dispersion characteristics, that will place the sound right in front of you.

The C10 uses a 0.75” black anodized aluminum dome tweeter to extend the high-frequency response further than any Alpha ever before while lowering distortion to deliver a layered soundstage full of detail and clarity. Unlike lesser designs at this price, all the new Alpha Series tweeters employ ferrofluid cooling to prevent dynamic compression and a neodymium magnet for high sensitivity. The tweeter’s front waveguide and its unique placement below the woofer work together to smooth the response at the crossover and perfect on and off-axis performance. It’s also supported with dual layer voice coils and a bass reflex design that uses the rear-firing port tube to control the bass response down to room-shaking levels.

The Alpha Series’ new crossover exceeds speaker standards with a special custom design that does more than direct low and high frequencies to the individual drivers–it delivers the tightest control and the flattest frequency response. An unusually complex acoustic Butterworth low-pass filter has also been incorporated into the crossover design to lower distortion and create a seamless soundscape in any type of two-channel setup or surround sound system.
