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.
