The Yamaha NS-C444 center channel speaker system is specifically designed for home theater applications. The speaker features an acoustic suspension and incorporates dual 5-inch polymer-injected mica diaphragm (PMD) cone woofers and a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter. For improved imaging, the midrange and tweeter utilize Yamaha's exclusive waveguide horns, which significantly reduce reflected sound and increase the proportion of directly generated sound waves reaching your ears. This compensates for the lack of sound-absorbing materials on the walls of most homes. The result is a clear and precise sense of sound direction and placement that replicates the sound produced in commercial movie theaters.
