Center Channel (Home Audio)

In a cinema, the audio signal path directed to the center of the front three (or five) speakers behind the screen, or the speaker nearest the video monitor in a home theatre setup. The center channel is responsible for conveying the dialogue, as well as a substantial portion of the music and sound effects. In the home theatre it serves to maintain front channel imaging for off-center listeners.


Center Channel (Home Theater)

The center speaker in a home theater setup. Ideally placed within one or two feet above or below the horizontal plane of the left and right speakers and above or below the display device, unless placed behind a perforated screen. Placement is important, as voices and many effects in a multichannel mix come from this speaker.
