A Speaker Designed for Multichannel Surround Formats, Both Wall-Mounted and Overhead
The SCS 12 is a fullrange cinema surround speaker with a 2-way coaxial design, engineered to meet the demands of modern multichannel systems. Its architecture favors wide and even dispersion to maintain the continuity of the sound field around the audience, whether the speaker is used laterally/rear or in overhead installation (ceiling). The choice of a coaxial driver also facilitates source coherence, a key factor for stable and credible spatialization in a room.
Who Is the SCS 12 For?
The SCS 12 is aimed at integrators, operators, and "pro" home cinema enthusiasts seeking a cinema surround speaker capable of delivering high levels without sacrificing definition. Thanks to its high sensitivity and power handling, it is particularly suited for rooms where crisp transients and immersive rendering of atmospheres, movements, and special effects are expected. Its size and mounting options make it relevant for both wall-mounted configurations and layouts where the speaker must be suspended above the listening area.
