It is a two-way, <strong>sealed<\/strong> speaker with two 13 cm woofers and a 2.5 cm tweeter. Its 514 mm width and 190 mm height matter when choosing a position near the screen: the speaker needs to fit where furniture will not block its front.<\/p>\n<h2>Drivers and cabinet design<\/h2>\n<p>Both woofers use <strong>PMD cones<\/strong>. High frequencies are handled by an <strong>aluminum dome<\/strong> tweeter with a <strong>Waveguide<\/strong>. The number of drivers should not be confused with the number of audio channels. All three drivers work together in one two-way center speaker, connected to one center-channel output.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>sealed cabinet<\/strong> has no rear bass-reflex port that needs space for airflow. Even so, avoid pushing the speaker so far back into a shelf that the furniture\u2019s edge covers its front. From your usual listening position, you should be able to see the front of the speaker. This deserves particular attention when the speaker sits below the television.<\/p>\n<h2>Positioning near the screen<\/h2>\n<p>Before choosing a shelf or TV cabinet, check all three cabinet dimensions: <strong>514 \u00d7 190 \u00d7 213 mm<\/strong>. The width determines whether it fits between other items, the height matters beneath a screen, and the depth must accommodate the cabinet itself. Choose a stable surface that can support its <strong>7.3 kg<\/strong> weight. If it will sit inside furniture, also allow room at the rear to make the speaker connection.<\/p>\n<p>Point the front of the speaker toward the main listening position. When it is placed especially low or high, consider whether the furniture\u2019s position leaves it facing the listeners. Keeping the front clear and directed toward the seating area is a useful check before settling on a permanent location.<\/p>\n<h2>Connection and amplifier choice<\/h2>\n<p>Connect the NS-C444 to the <strong>center-channel speaker output<\/strong> of an amplifier or AV receiver. Its <strong>6 \u03a9 impedance<\/strong> is relevant when selecting that equipment: check that the center channel is suitable for a 6 \u03a9 speaker. The NS-C444 requires an amplified speaker signal and is not intended for direct connection to a television\u2019s line-level audio output.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>100 W rated input power<\/strong> and <strong>250 W maximum input power<\/strong> describe different speaker power ratings. Neither figure is an amplifier output rating or a promise of continuously available volume. The stated <strong>89 dB sensitivity<\/strong> was measured at 2.83 V and a distance of 1 m. Keep that measurement condition in mind when comparing sensitivity figures for different speakers.<\/p>\n<h2>Setting up the home theater system<\/h2>\n<p>Assign this speaker to the center channel in your AV receiver, then set the channel level and its distance from the listening position. Listen to familiar dialogue and judge whether voices sit comfortably alongside the left and right channels rather than overpowering them. These adjustments are made in the receiver; there are no controls on the speaker itself.<\/p>\n<p>The speaker\u2019s <strong>3 kHz crossover frequency<\/strong> refers to how frequencies are divided internally between its drivers. It is separate from an AV receiver\u2019s setting for directing bass to a subwoofer. If your system includes a subwoofer, adjust the receiver\u2019s bass distribution while listening to the system as a whole. Likewise, the specified <strong>55 Hz-35 kHz frequency range<\/strong> does not, by itself, mean that the center channel must reproduce all low frequencies.<\/p>\n<h2>Technical specifications<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Type<\/th>\n<td>Two-way sealed center speaker<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Woofers<\/th>\n<td>2 \u00d7 13 cm, PMD cones<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Tweeter<\/th>\n<td>2.5 cm aluminum dome with Waveguide<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Frequency range<\/th>\n<td>55 Hz-35 kHz<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Rated input power<\/th>\n<td>100 W<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Maximum input power<\/th>\n<td>250 W<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Sensitivity<\/th>\n<td>89 dB at 2.83 V, measured at 1 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Crossover frequency<\/th>\n<td>3 kHz<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Impedance<\/th>\n<td>6 \u03a9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Dimensions (width \u00d7 height \u00d7 depth)<\/th>\n<td>514 \u00d7 190 \u00d7 213 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Weight<\/th>\n<td>7.3 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>Can I use this speaker in a two-channel stereo system?<\/h3>\n<p>A conventional stereo amplifier has left and right channels, so it cannot provide a separate center channel. The NS-C444 is intended for a system whose amplifier or AV receiver has a center-channel speaker output.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I connect it directly to a television?<\/h3>\n<p>It needs an amplified signal from a center-channel speaker output. A television\u2019s audio output generally does not provide that function. The TV\u2019s sound must first be sent to a suitable audio system.<\/p>\n<h3>What does the 6 \u03a9 impedance mean when choosing an AV receiver?<\/h3>\n<p>Check the receiver\u2019s specifications to confirm that its center channel supports a 6 \u03a9 speaker.<\/p>\n<h3>Can it go on a shelf in a TV cabinet?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, provided the shelf can support its 7.3 kg weight and accommodate the 514 \u00d7 190 \u00d7 213 mm cabinet. Keep the speaker\u2019s front unobstructed and leave room to connect it at the rear.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need to set 3 kHz on the AV receiver?<\/h3>\n<p>No. That is the speaker\u2019s internal crossover frequency. The receiver\u2019s bass management serves a different purpose: distributing low frequencies among the speakers in the system.<\/p>\n<h3>Does the center channel have to be used with a subwoofer?<\/h3>\n<p>No. The NS-C444 can serve as the center channel without one. If your system includes a subwoofer, set the bass distribution in the AV receiver according to how all the speakers in the system work together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Yamaha NS-C444 is a center speaker for home theater dialogue.
