Sonus Faber OLYMPICA CENTER STAND is a stand designed for the centre speaker in a home cinema system. It helps you plan the speaker’s position in relation to the screen and the floor space required for the stand.
Sonus Faber OLYMPICA CENTER STAND is a dedicated centre speaker stand for a home cinema system. It provides a separate position for the speaker responsible for the centre channel, helping you plan its placement in relation to the screen and the main listening position.
Purpose in a home cinema system
The centre speaker reproduces the sound assigned to the centre channel. This commonly includes material that needs to remain closely connected to the action shown on the screen, so the speaker’s position is especially important for the perceived direction of dialogue and its relationship with the picture. For that reason, it is worth planning a dedicated location for the centre speaker rather than treating its placement as an afterthought.
This stand is a practical choice when you do not want to place the centre speaker inside a television cabinet. It is also useful when a cabinet shelf is too low or is not positioned appropriately in relation to the screen. A separate stand allows the centre-channel position to be considered as part of the overall room layout, without relying on the dimensions or shelf arrangement of the television furniture.
Dimensions and space planning
The stand’s overall dimensions are 443 mm wide, 438 mm high and 310 mm deep. The width and depth describe the total area occupied by the stand, but they must not automatically be interpreted as the dimensions of its upper supporting surface. When assessing suitability, check the base of the speaker separately and compare it with the actual surface on which the speaker will rest.
The stand height is 438 mm. Before purchasing, consider the height at which the centre speaker will sit in relation to the screen. Add the height of the speaker cabinet to the stand height to estimate the complete installed height. This simple check will show whether the speaker could obstruct the screen or whether the combined arrangement will fit beneath the intended display system.
Choose a level section of floor with enough space for the stand. The surrounding area must also accommodate the speaker cabinet and its connected cable, since the stand’s footprint alone does not represent all the space required by the completed setup. Leave sufficient clearance behind the speaker so that the cable connection is not pressed against a wall, cabinet or another nearby surface.
Positioning the speaker in the room
Place the stand as close as practical to the horizontal centre of the screen. This helps the centre-channel sound relate more naturally to the action visible on the display. The front of the speaker should face the main listening position, so assess the direction of the complete speaker-and-stand arrangement before settling on its final location.
Do not position the stand in a walkway or in a place where it could be struck by an opening cabinet door. Check the complete relationship between the stand, the speaker and the screen before choosing the location. This includes the space occupied on the floor, the total installed height and the clearance needed around the speaker body.
Connection and system arrangement
The stand is not an electrical component of the audio system, and it does not alter the way the audio signal is connected. The speaker cable runs directly between the centre speaker and the amplifier. The connection type and the choice of cable are determined by those two devices, not by the stand.
This product is intended for the centre-channel position in a multichannel home cinema system. A conventional system of this kind normally uses one centre speaker, making the stand suitable for that single central position. A traditional two-channel stereo system uses left and right speakers and does not include a separate centre channel.

FAQ
What is this stand designed for?
It is designed to provide a separate position for a centre speaker in a home cinema system. The stand helps you plan where the speaker will sit in relation to the screen instead of depending on an available shelf in the television furniture.
Is the stand suitable for a two-channel stereo system?
A conventional stereo system uses left and right speakers and does not have a separate centre channel. This stand is specifically intended for the centre-channel position in a home cinema system.
How can I check whether my speaker will fit on the stand?
Compare the base of the speaker with the stand’s actual supporting surface. The stated overall dimensions describe the complete stand and do not, by themselves, define the size of the upper support.
What should I check before placing the speaker beneath a screen?
Check the distance to the lower edge of the screen and calculate the total installed height by adding the speaker cabinet height to the 438 mm stand height. You should also leave free space behind the speaker for its cable connection.
Are audio cables connected to the stand?
No. The cable connects directly to the centre speaker and the amplifier. Plan the stand’s position so that enough space remains behind the speaker for the cable and so that the connection is not placed under pressure.
Where in the room should the stand be placed?
Position it in line with the centre of the screen and orient the speaker toward the main listening position. Select a level floor surface and make sure that the stand does not obstruct a walkway or interfere with opening cabinet doors.
Does a home cinema system require several of these stands?
A typical multichannel home cinema system uses one centre speaker. This type of stand is intended specifically for that single centre-channel position.
