Focal Theva Center – 2-Way Center Channel Speaker

Clear dialogue. Precise imaging. The foundation of a Focal Theva home theater.

The Focal Theva Center is engineered to anchor movie dialogue, vocals, and on-screen effects directly to the picture. Designed specifically for Theva home cinema systems, it combines two 6.5-inch Slatefiber midrange/bass drivers with Focal's 1-inch Aluminum/Magnesium inverted-dome TNF tweeter in a compact two-way enclosure.

With 91dB sensitivity, an 8-ohm nominal impedance, and recommended amplifier power of 40–200 watts, Theva Center is easy to integrate with a wide range of quality AV receivers and separates. Its included tilt base allows the speaker to be aimed toward the listening position when placed below a display, while an optional dedicated stand provides another installation option. Focal

Dialogue Where It Belongs

In a home theater, the center channel carries much of the information that connects what you hear to what you see. Voices need to remain intelligible, effects need to track naturally across the front soundstage, and tonal character should remain consistent as sounds move between speakers.

Theva Center was developed specifically for that role.

Its symmetrical dual-driver configuration places the TNF tweeter between two 6.5-inch Slatefiber drivers, creating a focused presentation designed to keep dialogue clear and detailed while maintaining the dynamics required for movie soundtracks. Focal

Focal Slatefiber Technology

Theva Center uses two 6.5-inch Slatefiber midrange/bass drivers.

Developed by Focal and manufactured in France, Slatefiber combines non-woven recycled carbon fibers with a thermoplastic polymer. The construction is engineered around three qualities critical to loudspeaker performance: rigidity, damping, and lightness.

The result is a driver designed for fast, controlled reproduction with the tonal balance necessary for voices, instruments, and cinematic effects. Focal

TNF Inverted-Dome Tweeter

High frequencies are handled by Focal's 1-inch Aluminum/Magnesium TNF inverted-dome tweeter.

Its Poron suspension is derived from technology developed for Focal's Beryllium tweeters and is specifically designed to reduce distortion between 2kHz and 3kHz—an important region for human hearing and vocal intelligibility.

Focal also incorporates a waveguide to improve horizontal dispersion. This is especially valuable in a center-channel speaker because dialogue and high-frequency detail need to remain consistent for listeners seated away from the exact center position. Focal

Designed for a Complete Focal Theva Theater

Theva Center is acoustically designed to complement the rest of the Theva family.

Pair it with Theva N°1, N°2, N°3, or Dolby Atmos-enabled N°3-D front speakers, add Theva Surround channels, and integrate a capable subwoofer for a cohesive Focal home cinema system.

Matching driver technologies across the system help maintain consistent tonal character as dialogue, music, and effects move throughout the room. Focal

Technical Specifications

Focal's current U.S. page appears to transpose the inch values for height and width in its specification table; the metric dimensions establish the cabinet as approximately 20.87" wide × 8.35" high × 10.24" deep. I've corrected the orientation above rather than carrying that apparent website error into your listing. Focal
