The SVS Prime Center Speaker is a high-performance, 3-way center channel loudspeaker engineered to anchor any home theater with crystal-clear dialogue and dynamic sound. It features a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter, a dedicated 3.5-inch polypropylene midrange driver (in its own sealed enclosure for purity), and dual 5.25-inch polypropylene woofers, delivering a broad frequency response from 48 Hz to 25 kHz (±3 dB). The sophisticated SVS SoundMatch 3-way crossover ensures seamless driver integration and wide dispersion, crucial for off-axis listeners. Its robust, internally braced MDF cabinet with dual rear-firing ports minimizes resonances, allowing the drivers to perform optimally. With a compact form factor (7.7 inches H×18.6 inches W×9.2 inches D and 20.2 lbs) and premium finishes like Black Ash and Piano Gloss Black, the Prime Center provides exceptional dialogue clarity and front soundstage presence, perfectly timbre-matched to other SVS Prime speakers for an immersive home cinema experience.
