( Stock Clearance ) Cinema M6 THX Center Speaker

The tweeters used in both M6 and S5 have a very low distortion. The 1 inch domes makes a perfect match for the midrange / woofer driver. M6 Four tweeters gives even more high power handling, higher sensitivity and therefore also even lower distortion. The Quattro tweeter also helps to control the spreading perfectly both in tweeter range and in the midrange. It gives an optimized vertical directivity that reduces floor and sealing reflections and a controlled dispersion in horizontal direction. It’s a controlled directivity but without a “beaming” effect. The Quattro array also has the advantage of avoiding early reflections from side walls. This is also one of the reasons how the sound can be so clean, even at very loud volumes. They’re made of Japanese silk strengthened by a polymer coat. The use of Neodymium magnets as the power house and copper shorting rings ensures an almost perfect magnetic field for demanding applications. The rear chamber is tuned to a very low resonance, and also made in die cast aluminium. All this gives a “soft clipping” character that provides a lot of headroom for undistorted sound at extreme levels. The tweeters are kept cool by a 9 mm thick aluminium baffle for increased power handling On top of this, using two tweeters results in even more power handling, a very high sensitivity and a very clean low distorted sound. The tweeter array gets an increased capacity in the same way as when using more than one piston in an engine. This makes it possible for the tweeters to go all the way down to impressive 1,2 kHz which completely removes the phase problem most speakers have in the sensitive hearing range between 2-6 kHz. The combination of high sound pressure capacity and very low distortion gives a huge range between the lowest and the highest sound pressure which results in an incredibly dynamic sound. Another benefit of multi tweeters is a perfectly balanced directivity over the whole frequency range. This ensures a wide homogeneous sound field which is extremely important in a multi-seat cinema set up, but it is also an advantage in a “one seat” set up.

The midrange woofers used in the M6, S5 and the S2 utilize cones comprised of a very strong, long fibre pulp blend of material treated with a specialized coating compound which offers maximum strength and rigidity while maintaining minimum mass. The optimized combination of cone angle, dust cap diameter and geometry provides a near perfect piston emulation, maximum cone area efficiency, and controlled high velocity characteristics in both the inward and outward directions. For the M6, the midrange and woofer’s two 5¼ inch drivers are used in a MTM (midrange, tweeter & midrange) system which gives a controlled dispersion in the vertical axis that improves the sound quality through higher sensitivity and producing much lower distortion. The driver is adapted to be able to handle high power due to its strong magnet and aluminium shorting ring. The long fibre pulp cone has a very high sensitivity with “soft clipping” characteristics which provides further headroom for undistorted sound at extreme levels. The low (1,2KHz) crossover point “hand-over” from the tweeter has several advantages.

When we developed the M6 and S5, a great deal of effort was put into the crossover filter and this is actually the most important aspect of a speaker. All passive components are of the highest possible quality to minimize the influence on the signal. We use an optimal selection of air wound coils (with low internal resistance) and coils with steel cores (these accept a high level of magnetic saturation), MKP capacitors and low induction resistors. The steepness of the filter is of the 4th order. The filter has an unusually low crossover point between the tweeter and midrange woofer which has several advantages. The crossover point is far from the mid frequency breakup point and because of this, it plays with less distortion and with an improved D’Appolito effect.

Our speakers can be mounted to the wall with either a VESA 75 mount using the built-in keyhole hangers or our flush mount kit for a sturdier mounting (or to mount horizontally). This consists of a plate that fits on the back of the speakers and a corresponding plate that goes on the wall. The two plates easily interlock and leave enough room (15 mm) for the wires to connect as the speaker hangs on the wall.
