8600eC Flagship Center Channel

Atlantic's ultra-high performance 8600eC Flagship Center Channel speaker is designed for uncompromising, large-room surround sound systems

The center channel in a surround sound system is a critical component to deliver dialogue, music, and special effects with such accuracy you will hear every nuance no matter what the source. Atlantic's new 8600eC center channel speaker employs a set of seven drivers, crossover, bi-wire capability and acoustic optimization controls matched to their 8600eLR floor-standing LR speakers, so sounds move seamlessly across the front channels.

The 8600eC can be placed above, below, or behind an acoustically transparent projection screen. It incorporates the trademark Atlantic pivoting base which tilts the 8600eC up or down so its sound is optimized to the listener’s seating position. Built-in compensation controls further optimize the system for any placement and room acoustics for the ultimate in flexibility and performance for today’s high-end installations.

With the design of the 8600e series, Atlantic Technology set new standards for performance. By implementing new driver technology in an all-new configuration, they have developed a no-compromise surround sound speaker system able to deliver superb performance in a wide variety of acoustic settings.

Like the 8600e LR’s, the cross-over is a 4th order Butterworth asymmetrical time-aligned Linkwitz-Riley design with bi-wire inputs to maximize efficient power transfer and maintain optimum amplifier damping factor for the best bass control. 24K gold-plated terminals accept and tightly secure very large gauge speaker cable and also accept banana plugs. 24K gold-plated terminal jumper links are used when bi-wiring is not employed. A high-sensitivity spec of 93 dB with power handling of up to 300-watts makes the 8600eC perfect for very high-performance, large-room home theater systems.
