{"product_id":"scansonichdmbcenterbwn","title":"Scansonic HD MB Center B Center Channel Speaker, Walnut (Piece)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Scansonic HD MB Center B is the center channel speaker of the MB series – with the same ribbon tweeter and the same carbon driver section as the MB floorstanding speakers, tuned for clear, present voices, here in real walnut wood veneer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe warm wood turns this home cinema building block into a living-room piece of furniture – while still handling the most important job: making sure you understand every word.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the MB Center B?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn home cinema, most of the film runs through the center channel – dialogue, voices, half the plot. That's why Scansonic builds it around the same sealed ribbon tweeter as the large MB models and combines it with two 5.25-inch carbon drivers from the MB2.5. The result is big, effortless dynamics and voices that stand out cleanly from the action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the tweeter and drivers are identical to the rest of the MB series, the center blends seamlessly with an MB floorstanding pair – no break in tone when the sound pans from left to right. The walnut veneer is real wood and matches the walnut models of the series visually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntelligible, natural voices even with plenty of action in the background, plus speed and resolution from the ribbon. The center stays precise without turning harsh, and delivers enough headroom for large rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the MB Center B for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone building an MB or Q home cinema who wants a tonally matching center in warm wood. Plain talk: as a pure stereo listener, you don't need it – its purpose is the multi-channel setup. It's best combined with MB front and surround speakers so the tonal colours match all the way around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA center that consistently translates the strengths of the MB series into speech intelligibility – in the coziest finish. We at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil plan your whole home cinema for you – from the matching center to surrounds and placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Center channel speaker of the MB series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Walnut (real wood veneer, matte)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrivers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× ribbon tweeter (Kapton\/aluminium sandwich), 2× 5.25″ carbon woofer\/midrange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 Hz – 40 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt; 4 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5 kHz (2nd order) \/ 250 Hz (1st order)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended amplifier power:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt; 50 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCabinet:\u003c\/strong\u003e curved, heavily braced, with adjustable aluminium feet; hand-built in Denmark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×H×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 480 × 205 × 286 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.3 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e one center speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the walnut version cost more?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it's real wood veneer instead of silky matte lacquer. Natural wood takes more effort to select and process, and every grain is unique. Sonically, the walnut version is identical to black and white – the premium is purely in the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the MB Center B sold individually?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the center is a single speaker; the stated price applies per piece. In a home cinema you need exactly one center, positioned centrally under or above the screen. Front and surround speakers are purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the MB Center B match my MB speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It uses the same ribbon tweeter and the same carbon driver section as the MB series, so it blends tonally seamlessly with an MB front pair. It also pairs well with the Q series. Which combination suits your room is something we're happy to work out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much amplifier power does the MB Center B need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScansonic recommends a high-quality amplifier or AV receiver from around 50 watts. More important than raw power is clean drive of the center channel. Which receiver suits your setup is something we're happy to discuss with you personally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Scansonic HD MB Center B at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a home cinema is more than a single speaker.
