The Yamaha NS-C444 Center Channel Home Theater Speaker is designed to serve as the focal point of a surround sound system, where dialogue clarity and on-screen effects are delivered with precision. As the primary speaker for movie soundtracks, a large portion of spoken voices and front-stage effects is reproduced through the center channel, ensuring that every line and detail is heard clearly during films, TV shows, and live broadcasts.
For optimal home theater performance, a wide frequency response and strong power handling capacity are required, and these characteristics are emphasized in this center channel design. Placement above, atop, or just below the television is supported, allowing sound to be projected directly toward the listening position. When voice-matched with compatible left and right speakers, a seamless and consistent soundstage is created, allowing audio to move naturally across the front of the room during Dolby Digital playback.
