Center Channel Speakers : Definitive Technology CS8080HD Center Channel Speaker - Piano Gloss Black
CS-8080HD :Overview
Definitive’s best center channel loudspeaker and the perfect match for BP-8080ST SuperTower® main speakers
Built-in 5x10-inch powered subwoofer with twin 5 x 10 bass radiators for ultimate performance and dynamic impact
Second generation BDSS high-definition drivers for life-like tonal balance, superb intelligibility and broad dispersion
One 1 inch Pure Aluminum dome tweeter
Optimum surround sound home theater reproduction places heavy demands on the center channel speaker, which in many respects is the main speaker in the system and often handles 50% or more of the program material. It’s no place to compromise and settle for second best. Recognizing the center speaker’s vital role Definitive pioneered the concept of full frequency range high-definition center-channel speakers.
All Definitive CS series center channel models are designed with the same rigid standards and high performance goals as main left and right front speakers and feature wide frequency response and extended dynamic range with extraordinary detail and articulation.
Built-in Powered Subwoofers Make a Dramatic Audible Difference
Most audio experts agree that the ideal surround speaker system would have 5 identical truly full range speakers at every position. But most rooms and setups can’t accommodate 5 identical large speakers. So we engineered the next best thing – a truly full range center speaker that fits on a shelf.
The CS-8080HD’s's built-in subwoofer gives you full impact center channel performance
The CS-8080HD features a 5 x 10-inch racetrack subwoofer driver powered by a 300 Watt digital amplifier. The active driver is pressure coupled to two racetrack shaped low bass radiators for a total bass radiating area considerably greater than a 12-inch round woofer.
The brawny 300 Watt Class D amplifier features an integrated Digital Signal Processor (DSP) – in essence a mini computer – that equalizes the woofer system to extend and smooth the bass response, provides a phase coherent crossover network to perfectly blend the subwoofer system with the midrange array for seamless high performance. Digital protection systems tightly monitor and control the woofer system to prevent bad noises and woofer damage at ultra-high volume levels. The bottom line is the CS-8080HD’s outperforms any similarly sized center speaker by a wide margin.
You’ll enjoy a truly full dynamic range and full frequency center channel that actually outperforms many floor-standing main speakers. With the CS-8080HD you will fully realize the performance potential of the center channel program material as the movie director intended it to be heard.
Its upward-firing woofer system only requires 1" (25mm) of clearance, so it works perfectly whether you mount it in free-air or put it in a cabinet.
