Design and Build

The Spectrum II XC Centre Speaker combines performance with understated Scandinavian aesthetics. It features a 2-way bass-reflex design with a 1-inch dome tweeter and two 4-inch cellulose pulp mid-woofer drivers. With dimensions of 395 mm wide, 145 mm high, and 198 mm deep, and a net weight of 4.6 kilograms, it is compact enough for discrete placement yet sturdy enough to deliver precise sound reproduction.

The refined finish ensures it integrates seamlessly with any living space, maintaining the visual cohesion of a home cinema setup. Designed for alignment with other Spectrum II speakers, the XC Centre is visually harmonious and acoustically consistent with the X5, X6, and XATM models.

Audio Performance

The XC Centre Speaker excels at reproducing dialogue and central audio elements with clarity and precision. It delivers a frequency response of 55 Hz to 20 kHz, sensitivity of 88 dB, and RMS power handling of 80 W, with peak power reaching 120 W. The 2300 Hz crossover with a 12 dB slope ensures smooth integration between the tweeter and mid-woofer for balanced sound.

Its 6-ohm nominal impedance makes it compatible with most amplifiers, while the bass-reflex design supports dynamic low frequencies without distortion. This speaker provides clear voice reproduction, ensuring dialogue is intelligible and natural, anchoring the home cinema soundstage for a cohesive audio experience.

Versatility and Integration

The Tangent Spectrum II XC Centre Speaker is ideal for flexible home cinema arrangements. Its design allows it to seamlessly integrate with floorstanding models like the X6, bookshelf speakers such as the X5, and the Atmos modules in the Spectrum II range.

This versatility ensures consistent tonal balance across all channels, creating a fully immersive and natural listening environment. The bass-reflex design and high-quality drivers maintain performance even in compact or challenging room layouts, making it suitable for both dedicated media rooms and living areas. Its understated elegance ensures it complements other audio and furniture components without drawing attention away from the room’s design.
