Description

The center channel makes home theater and gaming systems rock—if they don?t perform at their peak, you might as well be watching in black and white. The C-C100 powers those fears away with massive sound and minute detail.

* Center channel speaker for detailed dialogue, big music and effects
* High-quality black ash finish
* Strong, deep bass from dual 5.5-inch fiberglass woofers
* Clean, accurate highs from aluminum dome tweeter help you hear every part of the soundtrack clearly

The lowdown
The sleek cabinet design of the C-C100 makes it right at home above or below your television. With the grille on or off, it looks powerful—even with its compact size.

The 1-inch dome tweeter and twin 5.5-inch composite fiberglass woofers, are made to bring you every dynamic the movie director intended. The cherry and black ash finishes make them look every bit as great as they sound.

The C-C100 features advanced Energy audio engineering:

* Flat On-Axis Frequency Response with Wide Bandwidth:  Speakers should reproduce the entire audio range in a uniform manner. By ensuring that no one frequency dominates any other, Energy ensures that every note is the way it was intended to be—and the sound as natural as possible.
* Wide and Constant Dispersion:  Sound at all frequencies radiating from the speaker should be in an even pattern, in all directions throughout the room.
* Low Distortion and Resonance:  No speaker system is distortion- or resonance-free, but Energy has achieved a significantly lower distortion level, a clearly audible improvement.

The C Series C-C100 center channel speaker offers terrific performance and great features:

* A chambered aluminum dome tweeter for sonic accuracy and durability
* Rear venting for more powerful bass response

Two 5.5-inch composite fiberglass woofers reach deep, to add thumping bass to music and effects. The 1-inch chambered aluminum hyperbolicTM dome tweeter produces hair-raising high frequencies. This is one center channel that makes the most of your movie soundtracks.

Maximum performance tips

The center channel speaker needs to be centrally located so that the dialogue seems to be coming from the center of the screen. It needs to be above or below the monitor, as closely to it as possible. If you?re using a rear projection television, the most likely option is to place it above the screen. If you have a front projection system, you have choices—stand mounting, or placement on furniture, for example. It is important, though, to place the speaker so that its front edge is even with the edge of the shelf or stand supporting it. Unwanted diffraction occurs when the center channel is too far back into a cabinet or other surface with edges that could impede sound dispersion.
