Driver Technology
1" Soft-Dome Tweeter: The S50 center-channel loudspeaker features a 1"
soft-dome tweeter for smooth, accurate highs. The tweeters
use high flux density, self shielding neodymium magnet assemblies for
improved sensitivity and better dynamics.
Dual 4" Mid-Bass Woofer: The S50 center-channel loudspeaker utilizes dual 4"
woven polyfiber cone mid-bass woofers for dynamic mid & bass response.
Each mid-bass woofer uses a rigid phase plug for improved off-axis
integration. The 4" mid-bass woofers also feature a high-quality
rubber surround edge for reliable cone termination. In addition, an
optimized magnet motor-assembly is used for extended lower frequencies.
Two-Way Crossover: The S50 center-channel loudspeakers utilize a
2nd order, 2-way crossover to deliver high-frequencies to the tweeters and mid-/low-frequencies to the
mid-bass drivers. High-quality laminate core inductors give
cleaner bass with improved dynamics, while polypropylene film capacitors in
critical path areas give a high-resolution high frequency response.
Frequency Response: The S50 center-channel loudspeaker
has a frequency
response rating of 80 to 20,000 Hz.
Power Handling: The Cambridge Audio S50 center-channel loudspeaker can
handle between 15 to 80 watts (RMS).
