6-driver, 3-way on-wall center channel
It’s Big, it Plays Loud and it’s the Most Spectacular High-End On-Wall Speaker System Ever Made We’re giving you fair warning: Signature W5 is not a speaker for the faint of heart. It’s not for those content to simply “watch” a movie or “listen” to a piece of recorded music. W5 is reserved for committed audio / videophiles, those dedicated to an intensely “mind-blowing”, “wow-your-friends-and-neighbors”, “right-in-the-middle-of-it-all” on-wall music and home theater EXPERIENCE! More than three feet in length, powered by SIX “tweaked-for-the-ultimate-in-performance” state-of-the-art drivers backed by every ounce of Signature technology we could fit in, W5 is a sonic behemoth! We can say with certainty that no other on-wall speaker in the world comes close to delivering an experience as powerful, as clear, as clean, as accurate, as believable and as loud as the W5. Think we’re kidding? Turn down the lights, hold onto the armrests and immerse yourself in the experience. P-Be™ Pure-Beryllium Tweeter Domes. Pure beryllium was chosen for its exceptional thermal, physical and mechanical properties: lighter than diamond or aluminum with unmatched rigidity. Response is instantaneous and extraordinarily uniform. Elevating the dome promoted optimal off-axis dispersion. ARB™ Aperiodic Resonance Breakup Fins. Die-cast aluminum fins in rear damping chamber capture and quickly disperse residual internal resonances, rendering them inert. Co-PAL™ Cobalt-Infused Anodized Pure-Aluminum Midrange and Bass / Midrange Cones. Combine high stiffness-to-mass with superior internal damping for an even greater degree of accuracy. The result is smooth, uncolored frequency response. Dual ATC™ Asymmetrical Tapered Channels. Precision die-cast aluminum chamber with tapered dual interior channels provide optimal volume. The asymmetrical design dissipates the back wave while the center of the chamber is direct-coupled to the huge magnet structure, providing an efficient thermal escape path for heat generated by the voice coil. Strategically positioned cooling fins on the rear of the chamber transfer heat away from the motor. Injection-Molded Mineral-Filled Polypropylene Bass Cones. The mineral content, now 30%, and the injection-molding process have resulted in a far more rigid cone. The improvements reveal a dramatic increase in repeatability as well as consistency of performance. Premium Finishes. Signature Series enclosures are enhanced by a choice of three stunning wood veneer finishes — Cherry, Natural Maple and Piano Black. * DIN 45 500.
