Centre Speakers buying guide
Why a centre speaker matters
Most film and TV dialogue comes from the centre channel. A good centre speaker anchors voices to the screen and keeps them clear, even during loud action scenes.
How to choose
- Match your front speakers – choosing the same range gives a seamless sound as effects move across the screen.
- Size and placement – check it fits above or below your TV, angled towards your seat.
- Power – pair with an AV receiver.

Centre Speakers – frequently asked questions
Do I need a centre speaker?
For surround sound, yes. It carries most dialogue and keeps voices locked to the screen.
Should my centre speaker match my front speakers?
Ideally, yes. A matching range gives a smoother, more consistent sound.
Where should I put the centre speaker?
Directly above or below the screen, angled towards your listening position.
Can I use a bookshelf speaker as a centre?
You can, but a dedicated centre speaker is designed to lie horizontally and spread sound evenly.
Can I hear them before I buy?
Yes. Book a demonstration at our Nottingham showroom or call us on 0115 975 8613.
