Cambridge Audio Aero 5 Center-Channel Speaker Hear Film and TV Dialog as it"s Meant to Be Experienced in Your Surround System: Aero 5 Delivers Word-Perfect Voices and Pure Tonalities The most vital part of cinematic sound? The dialog, of course. Without the drama of human interaction, there"s little point of even turning on a favorite television show or engrossing film. Yet, all too often, traditional center-channel speakers introduce distortion in the most important (and sometimes hard-to-hear) element of the surround-sound experience.

With a BMR driver, the crossover happens at 250Hz, far outside the most sensitive hearing frequencies. The result: fantastically clear, natural, and coherent voices, the exact traits a center-channel speaker needs to address with bang-on success.
