About the Center3
Børresen Acoustics Center3 is a purpose-built center-channel loudspeaker for home cinema and high-performance audio systems. It is Børresen’s first loudspeaker designed specifically for center-channel duties, with a focus on natural, intelligible dialogue, coherence across the front soundstage, and low-resonance cabinet behavior. The design uses two 5-inch DCC5 Neo mid/bass drivers and a RP94 ribbon tweeter, a rigid braced cabinet, separate internal chambers, and a serial crossover topology to improve phase coherence and reduce distortion. It is listed as an active current product from Audio Group Denmark and dealers, with an MSRP of €6,000 / $7,000.
