1238AC
Product description
The centre-channel companion to the 1238A, and a different design rather than the same box turned on its side: the 1238A's single 15-inch woofer is replaced by two 10-inch cones flanking the mid and tweeter, which is what lets the cabinet drop to 350 mm tall so it fits under a screen. Same 950 W and the same 30 Hz reach, with the controlled directivity and wide stable sweet spot a centre channel needs. SAM with GLM AutoCal. Sold individually. Made in Iisalmi, Finland.
