"Triple Vortex" Center Channel Speaker

For high performance multi-channel movies and music, the Bryston AC-1 Center speaker hits all the right buttons. It's a perfect timbre match with other Bryston speakers and boasts six drivers in what Bryston calls a "triple vortex" three-way reflex design.

Built to be exceptionally high quality and affordable, the AC-1 Center boasts new driver designs, enclosure vibration analysis, crossover refinement, and anechoic chamber testing. All of this went into creating an amazing product, which brings superior design to the table.

The Bryston Model AC-1 Center showcases the same design principles as the larger Model TC-1 Center, but with a new premium quality 6.5" woofer to replace the 8" woofers found in the Model TC-1 Center design. The driver complement consists of two 1" titanium dome tweeters, two 5.25" aluminum cone midrange drivers, and two 6.5" aluminum cone drivers.

A state-of-the-art audio system involves what some refer to as a 'suspension of disbelief.' This means the playback system transcends the recorded medium and transports you to a live venue. You forget it’s a recording and believe you are there at the live performance. Bryston's goal with the AC-1 loudspeaker is to provide its customers with a superior level of 'suspended disbelief.'

Superb Center Channel Performance

The first step in transforming your two-channel stereo into a home theater is adding a center channel. Timbre matched and developed using the same materials and techniques in the same anechoic chamber, the dialog and all other center channel content will blend seamlessly with your Bryston A-Series front and surround loudspeakers.

The AC-1 center is dynamic enough to keep pace with today’s feature films, yet more than detailed enough to carry all the emotion found in the classics filmed during the golden age of cinema.

Robust Enclosure

Three-quarter-inch thick MDF is wrapped around a strong skeleton of internal bracing which is strategically designed so that no cabinet resonances discolor the pure and detailed sound radiating from the drivers.
