Overview
Placing a wired center channel directly beneath the screen anchors voices to the picture, and this SVS cabinet is made for tabletop use with a black ash wood-style finish.
SVS builds the Prime Center around a mid-size driver in a wide cabinet, which gives dialogue its own dedicated speaker in a surround layout. Sensitivity, impedance and power handling are not given, so matching it to a receiver takes outside research.
Who it's for
Owners building a surround system around a separate receiver, with a shelf or stand below the television, suit this cabinet. Shoppers without a receiver or without room for a wide cabinet should look at a soundbar instead.
Pros and cons
- Dedicated dialogue speaker
- Tabletop mounting, no tools
- Black ash finish suits dark furniture
- Impedance and power handling not listed
- Wide cabinet needs a long shelf
- No wall mount option
Performance notes
A center channel carries most of the speech in a movie mix, so clarity depends on the driver, the cabinet and how it is angled toward the listener. Placement directly under the screen helps voices appear to come from the picture. The receiver must supply clean power to the single driver.
