Large, Powerful and Fully Equal to Main Channel Speakers
Modern multi channel movie soundtracks do not favor left and right main speakers over all of the other speakers. Each one of your speakers gets a workout, and one of the most important to your enjoyment of a movie is your center channel speaker.
For the best experience, your center channel needs to be every bit as rich and dynamic as your front left and right loudspeakers. Bryston's TC1 center channel speaker has the unique ability to keep pace with its flagship Model T floorstanding speaker and other highly dynamic full range models in the T Series lineup.
Built to be exceptionally high quality and affordable, the Bryston TC1 boasts new driver designs, enclosure vibration analysis, crossover refinement, and anechoic chamber testing. All of this went into creating an amazing product, which brings superior design to the table.
Large and Powerful
Performance requirements from a center channel speaker are no different than those of any other channel. Compared to other center channel loudspeakers, you’ll immediately notice how large the TC1 is. Unlike other brands that partner comparably small center speakers with their flagship towers, Bryston makes no such sacrifice in dynamic range or bass power for those who demand excellence with no compromise.
Superior Suspended Disbelief
A state-of-the-art audio system involves what some refer to as a 'suspension of disbelief.' This means the playback system transcends the recorded medium and transports you to a live venue. You forget it's a recording and believe you are there at the live performance. Bryston's goal is to provide its customers with a superior level of 'suspended disbelief.'
Impressive Driver Complement
The TC1's impressive driver complement consists of two woofers, two midrange units, and two tweeters packing the front baffle. Like other large Bryston speakers, the TC1 uses twin drivers for each section to achieve realistic dynamic range levels. Only the TC1 will match the remarkable range of the Model T. Because these are the same drivers found in the left and right channels, you can be certain of exceptional timbre matching for smooth pans and effortless suspension of disbelief when enjoying movies in your home theatre.
The TC1's drivers consist of two 8" aluminum cone woofers, two 5.25" aluminum cone midrange speakers, and two 1" titanium dome tweeter. The custom designed drivers have die-cast aluminum baskets, substantial magnet assemblies, and custom motor systems.
Extraordinary Cabinet Design
The TC1 has an extraordinary cabinet that's worthy of its impressive drivers. Much of the 108 pound heft of the massive TC1 is due to extraordinary measures undertaken to mitigate cabinet resonances which are often responsible for distortion. The 3⁄4"-thick walls and 1-1⁄2"-thick front baffle are rigidly braced internally, thereby virtually eliminating the acoustic ill effects of enclosure vibration.
Included Accessories
Black fabric grilles are provided with the TC1. Also included are padded feet and spikes, each of which may be screwed into the base of the loudspeaker. Padded feet are suitable for protecting hard surfaces beneath the speaker from damage. Spikes provide a sturdy coupling to softer shelf materials.
