PSB Alpha C10 Centre Channel Speaker – Cinematic Clarity and Immersive Dialogue for the Home Theatre

The PSB Alpha C10 Centre Channel Speaker redefines home theatre audio with rich, cinematic sound and meticulously clear dialogue. Engineered and designed in Canada, this centre speaker leverages over 40 years of acoustic expertise to deliver pristine audio that brings films, series, and live broadcasts to life. The C10’s design blends cutting-edge technology with the warm aesthetic of Black Ash or Walnut finishes that integrate beautifully into any space.

Elevated Dialogue Clarity with a Black Anodized Aluminium Dome Tweeter

The Alpha C10 places dialogue clarity at the forefront, ensuring that spoken word is crisp and intelligible even in action-heavy scenes. At the heart of this performance is a 0.75-inch black anodized aluminium dome tweeter, which PSB has engineered for low distortion and high efficiency. The tweeter’s front waveguide improves high-frequency dispersion, creating a balanced audio response across a wider listening area. To prevent audio compression and ensure sound purity, PSB incorporates ferrofluid cooling and a neodymium magnet in the tweeter, maintaining consistent clarity for high-pitched tones and complex soundtracks.

Dual 5.25" Polypropylene Woofers for Deep, Controlled Bass

The Alpha C10 is fitted with dual 5.25-inch textured polypropylene woofers with rubber surrounds, delivering impactful low-frequency performance that enhances movie soundtracks and musical depth. This woofer design is crafted from a specialised polypropylene compound, which reduces cone breakup and distortion at high volumes, ensuring a clean and resonant bass. To further optimize bass response, the C10 employs a rear bass reflex port design, allowing sound to resonate through the port for powerful yet controlled low frequencies. This advanced bass management provides a room-filling experience, bringing a cinematic feel to every note and explosion.

Precision Crossover Design with Linkwitz-Riley Acoustic Filtering

The Alpha Series’ Linkwitz-Riley crossover in the C10 delivers unmatched precision, creating a seamless soundstage with accurate transitions between the tweeter and woofers. This crossover technology reduces distortion while balancing frequencies with high fidelity, ensuring that every tone is reproduced with clarity. The result is a cohesive audio experience where dialogue, sound effects, and background scores blend effortlessly to keep listeners engaged. Whether you’re setting up a two-channel system or a full surround sound configuration, the C10’s crossover excels, creating a spatially immersive sound that pulls you into the action.

High-Quality MDF Cabinet for Reduced Resonance and Enhanced Sound

The Alpha C10’s cabinet is crafted from durable MDF with 5/8-inch and 1-inch thick panels for a robust structure that resists unwanted vibrations. With strategically placed internal bracing, this cabinet minimises resonance, ensuring that sound remains pure and uncoloured by external vibrations. Acoustic damping materials, inspired by PSB’s flagship models, are incorporated within the cabinet to enhance sonic precision. The C10’s acoustically transparent magnetic grille allows for easy attachment while preserving sound quality, and its sophisticated woodgrain vinyl finish in Black Ash or Walnut offers a timeless aesthetic that complements any decor.
