About the C1

The Vivid Audio C1 is a three-way vented cabinet centre channel loudspeaker optimized for home theatre use. It employs a single D50 50mm metal dome midrange driver covering 900Hz to 4kHz, a D26 26mm metal dome tweeter for higher frequencies, and two C125 125mm metal cone midbass drivers for frequencies below 900Hz. The drivers are identically driven to maintain a symmetrical horizontal polar pattern. The cabinet is made from a complex loaded carbon fibre filled polymer, providing rigidity and minimal resonance. Fourth order filters ensure phase coherence at crossover points (100Hz, 900Hz, 3500-4000Hz), resulting in seamless frequency response. The speaker has a sensitivity of 89-90dB @ 2.83V/1m, nominal impedance of 8 ohms, frequency range of 43Hz to 36kHz (-6dB), and frequency response of 49Hz to 33kHz ±2dB on axis. Harmonic distortion is under 0.5% across the frequency range. Power handling is rated at 300W RMS. Dimensions are approximately 268mm (H) x 755mm (W) x 330mm (D), with a net weight around 23-38kg depending on source. The enclosure features precision machined, gold plated binding posts and internal wiring with Van den Hul cables. An optional matching stand made from the same carbon fibre loaded polymer provides stable footing and a slight tilt for floor placement. The finish is available in high gloss piano black or pearl white, with custom colors available on request. The C1 delivers pitch-perfect vocal presence and clarity, making it ideal for demanding high-end home cinema setups.
