Focal Kanta™ Center

A high-performance Kanta center channel

The Focal Kanta Center is a crucial piece if you're building a premium home theater system around the company's excellent line of Kanta speakers. Its dual 6-1/2" flax midranges and 1-1/16" Beryllium tweeter deliver clear dialogue, engaging sound effects, and thrilling music as part of a surround sound system. And it comes in multiple gorgeous finishes to match your home decor, and your other speakers.

Placing the speaker on Focal's matching Kanta center stand (sold separately) brings the speaker up to ideal listening height, dampens vibration, and helps optimize the speaker's acoustic properties.

Brilliantly designed drivers

Focal outfitted their Kanta speaker lineup with a combination of their signature flax woofer cones and a Beryllium tweeter. The unique pairing allows the Center to deliver dialogue, effects, and music with a high degree of precision without sacrificing warmth.

The IAL3 Beryllium tweeter combines features from Focal's IAL (Infinite Acoustic Loading) and IHL (Infinite Horn Loading) tweeters, with the goal of eliminating all audible distortion. And the tweeter's inverted dome design improves off-axis performance, for a wider 'sweet spot'.

The woofer uses a carefully designed TMD (Tuned Mass Damping) suspension to control motion in the cone's surround and an NIC (Neutral Inductance Circuit) motor to stabilize the magnetic field for natural, uncolored midrange and precise bass.

A gorgeous, vibration-damping cabinet

Rather than the usual MDF (medium-density fiberboard), the front baffle of the Kanta Center is molded out of a single piece of polymer for a higher degree of density, stiffness, and damping, and it's shaped to eliminate sound diffraction. The cabinet itself is crafted from a molded wood material that's rigid and vibration-resistant. A rear-firing Powerflow port helps deliver deep, uncompressed bass. Choose the look you want from a range of gorgeous color and finish combinations.

You can also substitute slightly smaller Focal Kanta No.2 floor-standing speakers for the No.3s, if they suit your room better.
