Demand D5C

The sleek center channel speaker perfectly complements the Demand Series tower and bookshelf speakers to create a truly immersive, room-filling home cinema experience.

1″ ANNEALED ALUMINUM DOME TWEETER WITH 20/20 WAVE ALIGNMENT LENS™ AND LATERALLY OFFSET TWEETER ASSEMBLY

Definitive Technology sets the standard of minimalist, thoughtful design that serves to improve the sound. Proper tweeters must excel in three ways: they must be stiff, light, and well-damped to minimize their material characteristics that will affect high-frequency reproduction. Aluminum is naturally stiff and lightweight, meeting the first two requirements. To achieve the third, Definitive Technology tweeters undergo an annealing (heat treating) process to shape and soften the material, thereby providing the necessary material damping.

Coupled with the 20/20 Wave Alignment Lens™, Definitive Technology 1” aluminum dome tweeters deliver a clear, precise high-frequency response, and the 20/20 Wave Alignment Lens smooths high frequencies off the tweeter for improved dispersion and a rich and balanced listening experience anywhere in your room.

A unique sonic signature feature of the Demand Series, the tweeter is offset to deliver a more precise center stereo image and eliminate undesirable symmetric diffraction off the corners of the front baffle.

BDSS™ MIDRANGE/WOOFER BALANCED DOUBLE SURROUND SYSTEM

Patented Double Surround mid-range provides greater linear excursion and output that results in superior mid-range detail compared to drivers of similar size.

LINEAR RESPONSE WAVEGUIDE™

Patented Linear Response Waveguide extends both on and off-axis frequency response while improving dispersion for more natural mid-range timbre and more precise imaging.

EXTRUDED ALUMINUM FRONT BAFFLE

Clean, beautiful, modern industrial design with an extruded Aluminum front baffle bead-blasted finish that provides a timeless look and feel that fits any décor. Lightweight, durable, and recyclable, aluminum is truly the metal of a modern lifestyle.
