The Square Centre Channel weighs into deliver a staggering performance that is very hard to challenge. Discrete and understated it provides the perfect additional channel where a multi channel system with zero compromise is part of the specification.
The Centre exhibits excellent dynamics and the most coherent time alignment thanks to the high performance mid range drive unit which has no crossover and the 1st order tweeter. The Centre presents every subtle detail of dialogue with ease. Like all the Square Series, the Centre is fitted with identical drive units to the Odyssey Range, so the potential for mix and match is possible without any compromise.
The Centre is finished in a beautifully hand-crafted range of veneers with an optional laser cut steel wall mount or stand mount available for the ultimate solution.

TECHNOLOGY
Tactic driver
Having secured a £250,000 DTi SMART Award from the government as part of the development of the Chimera loudspeaker, Wilson Benesch developed its on drive technology in the shape of the highly regarded tactic drive unit. A blisteringly fast and dynamic multi role drive technology manufactured entirely in house alongside the unique Semisphere tweeter. The tactic drive unit at the heart of the Square Five, is a highly optimised engineered component built to the exact requirements of the Square Series II.
ABR
On the underside of the Square Centre cabinet, two unique, high energy loss diaphragms effectively deals with out of phase energy to improve dynamics and perfectly damp the exuberant capabilities of the world renowned Wilson Benesch Tactic drive unit.

HIGH INTEGRITY STAND
Speaker stands and mounts can be regarded as an integral part of a loudspeaker system since attaching an enclosure to a stand couples the two in terms of energy transfer. The Square Centre can be supplied with either a high integrity stand or wall mount, both of which use a formed laser cut steel component that bolts securely to four stainless steel spacers attached to the underside of the cabinet.
The base of the stand is a high-mass laser cut steel foot that ensures stability. Four precision machined adjustable spikes couple the Square Centre stand to the floor and provide pitch and tilt adjustment. For use on hard floors, the stand can be supplied with in-house machined floor protectors.

CENTRE CHANNEL LOUDSPEAKER
"Every Wilson Benesch product I’ve heard presents music with startling clarity. It comes at you with blistering speed from a velvety-black backdrop."
David Price, HiFi Choice Editor, April 2012
The Square Centre a formidable dual driver loudspeaker designed to work in synergy with the other Square Series II loudspeaker line.
Complete with identical Tactic Drivers and the Scanspeak Tweeter, you can be sure of seamless integration in both dedicated cinema and multichannel HiFi systems.
TACTIC DRIVE UNIT
Having secured a £250,000 DTi SMART Award from the government as part of the development of the Chimera loudspeaker, Wilson Benesch developed its own drive technology in the shape of the Tactic Drive Unit.
In the Square Centre, two dedicated Tactic Drive Units give the loudspeaker a dedicated bass driver and a dedicated midrange driver. Each drive unit has been built to perform optimally for its designated function enhancing the performance of each driver significantly.
The blisteringly fast and dynamic Tactic Multi-role Drive Unit technology is manufactured entirely in house. The Tactic Drive Units at the heart of the Square Centre, are highly optimised engineered components built to the exact requirements of the Square Series II.
SCANSPEAK TWEETER
Familiar from the Odyssey Range and the Wide Bandwidth Collection, the ScanSpeak Tweeter is a 25mm (1”) fabric-dome tweeter. The tweeter has been modified to a Wilson Benesch specification, featuring an improved magnet assembly and no ferrofluid.
HIGH INTEGRITY STAND
Speaker stands can be regarded as an integral part of a loudspeaker system since attaching an enclosure to a stand couples the two in terms of energy transfer. The Square Centre can be supplied with a high integrity stand, designed to bolt securely to the four stainless steel spacers attached to the underside of the cabinet.
The cradle can then be bolted directly to the wall or added to a stand. At the base of the stand is a high-mass laser cut steel foot that ensures stability. Four precision machined spikes couple the Square Centre stand to the floor, with the four adjustable spikes providing height and tilt adjustment. For use on hard floors, the stand can be supplied with in-house machined floor protectors.
ABR
On the underside of the Square Centre cabinet, unique, high energy loss diaphragms effectively deal with out of phase energy to improve dynamics and perfectly damp the exuberant capabilities of the world renowned Wilson Benesch Tactic drive unit. Absorbing energy produced by the mid / bass drive units in a lossy structure and thus reducing the potential for resonance in the loudspeaker cabinet. Placed in close proximity to the Tactic Drive Units, the ABR enhances the low frequency extension of the drive unit much like a port.
HAND CRAFTED FINISHING
Each Square Centre, like any Wilson Benesch product has been built by a team of highly trained craftsmen. The cabinet design, like the Tactic drive units at the heart of the Square Series II, is the result of a fastidious attention to detail and engineering excellence. It is the same team of engineers and craftsmen that are responsible for the Cardinal flagship and for this reason you can be sure that the Square Centre is a true high end speaker system.
