Focal Kanta Center

KANTA CENTER Center speaker Kanta Center perfectly complements the line's bookshelf and floorstanding speakers. The extreme definition of its drivers and its tonal balance make it a formidable piece of equipment for Home Cinema applications. It can also be combined with in-ceiling speakers for a 360° cinema experience. Sound immersion guaranteed!             BALANCE AND RICHNESS OF SOUND The loudspeakers feature a Flax membrane, made from French flax fiber. A Focal innovation, this patented membrane delivers a very natural, uncolored sound, with rich reproduction in the midrange. Clarity of sound and intelligibility of dialogue will surprise moviegoers. Neutrality at the service of emotions and sensations.       MODERN FINISHES Matte fronts (Black, Ivory, White) are combined with Black High Gloss, White High Gloss, Walnut High Gloss bodies, offering a wide choice of contemporary combinations. Sophisticated, the Matte effect "absorbs" light rather than reflecting it, creating a refined contrast with varnishes.   MODERN AND DISRUPTIVE, KANTA TURNS DESIGN CODES ON THEIR HEAD.   HOME CINEMA AND DOLBY ATMOS Kanta Center pairs perfectly with Kanta loudspeakers in a Home Cinema installation. The Sub 1000F subwoofer is the perfect complement for a top-quality multi-channel system. Finally, when combined with the 300 ICA6 In-ceiling loudspeakers, the most demanding moviegoers will enjoy an exceptional 3D audio experience in Dolby Atmos, DTS X or Auro-3D.     ENHANCE YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS KANTA CENTER STAND An optional matte-black aluminum stand (height adjustable from 42.4 to 45 cm) is available for the Kanta Center centre speaker. It attaches to the base and is easily installed under a screen in a horizontal position, on the front or rear sides. KANTA CENTER STAND   TECHNOLOGIES TMD SUSPENSION Stabilized surround, eliminates vibrations While our engineers are experts in the development of exclusive diaphragms, they also innovate in all the components that make up the loudspeakers, such as the surround that connects the diaphragm to the frame, the performance of which must be mastered. Introduced in 2015, Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) technology with harmonic damping consists of the addition of finely positioned toroidal weights to stabilize the surround for even greater sonic neutrality. This technology enhances the midrange and the erratic behavior of the surround between 1 kHz and 2 kHz.   BÉRYLLIUM TWEETER For exceptional treble Membrane shape and materials are essential for high-fidelity reproduction. For exceptional treble, our engineers have developed the Béryllium inverted dome tweeter in pure Beryllium. Thanks to its unrivalled rigidity, Beryllium is the material of choice for high-frequency loudspeakers. Developed and patented by Focal, the pure Beryllium inverted dome is capable of covering more than five octaves (1,000 - 40,000 Hz) for perfect perception of micro-details.       HIGH DENSITY POLYMER Specially designed cabinetry Everything is designed to bring softness and warmth to the sound: density and rigidity of both front and shell materials, soft angles and a double vent. A new material, favorable to acoustic parameters, is used for the façade. It is molded from a single block of High Density Polymer (HDP). This material offers enhanced performance: it is 70% denser than MDF, 15% more rigid and offers 25% more damping. The one-piece front panel eliminates any sound diffraction.           NIC TECHNOLOGY Very high sound definition For very high-definition sound, control of the magnetic flux circulating in the loudspeaker is essential. Our acousticians have created a magnetic circuit of incredible stability, guaranteeing perfectly controlled sound: Neutral Inductance Circuit (NIC) technology. This patented technology resides in a Faraday ring whose dimensions, material and positioning are optimized to make the magnetic flux stable and the sound highly precise.           FLAX MEMBRANE Purity and precision of sound As the key component of a loudspeaker, the membrane is at the heart of our acoustic engineers' research. After more than five years of research and development, in 2013 Focal unveiled an exclusive membrane made from flax. Patented, this Flax cone is a sandwich made of very high quality French flax fibre placed between two thin sheets of glass fibre. It satisfies all the criteria of a high-fidelity membrane: lightness to offer good dynamics, rigidity to hold the bass and damping to deliver a neutral, natural, uncolored sound. It is an emblematic Focal innovation in many hi-fi products.       SPECIFICATIONS Sound - Accoustic Product type Bass-reflex 2-way center Membrane Flax Medium 2x 6.5" (16.5cm) Flax midbass drivers with TMD suspension and magnet Tweeter 11/16" (27mm) ‘IAL3’ pure Beryllium inverted dome tweeter Response at - 6dB (Low frequency point) 50 Hz Frequency response (+/- 3dB) 55 Hz - 40 kHz Minimum impedance 3.5 Ω Nominal Impedance 8 Ω Recommened amplifier power 40 - 200 W Sensivity 91 dB Design Depth 561 mm / 22.09 in Height 246 mm / 9.69 in Width 393 mm / 15.47 in Accessories Counter points Counter spikes x4 already mounted Grids  Magnetic cloth frame Points Spikes x4
