Audiophile sound quality from a compact bookshelf speaker
The THIEL SCS4 provides a great introduction to high-end sound. It may be THIEL's most affordable speaker, but it borrows technologies found in their higher-end models to deliver outstanding performance in both stereo and home theater setups. Place this slender speaker on a stand for use as a front or surround speaker, or place it horizontally for use as a matching center channel.
High-tech speaker drivers
Precise highs from a high-output tweeter
The SCS4's incredibly lifelike sound starts with a high-output tweeter coaxially mounted inside the woofer. This ingenious design maintains the proper time alignment for the high and low frequencies, creating unparalleled accuracy and realism. And it ensures that every listener in the room hears the sound from both drivers at exactly the same time regardless of where you place them, or whether they're mounted horizontally or vertically.
An advanced woofer design for full, rich sound
A 6-1/2" aluminum woofer provides mids and lows. A motor structure consisting of a short voice coil sitting inside a large magnet effortlessly drives the woofer. Unlike the voice coils found in most speakers that extend outside the magnet, the deliberately short voice coil always "sees" the optimum magnetic field as it travels back and forth. This eliminates distortion caused by variances in magnetic strength. Bass is full, rich, and musical, perfectly complementing the treble without being overbearing.
State-of-the-art crossover
The "unsung hero" of any speaker is the crossover it directs the right frequencies to the right drivers so you don't have a tweeter trying to reproduce bass and a woofer trying to reproduce highs. THIEL meticulously engineered their first-order crossover to achieve tonal neutrality. The advanced crossover ensures that musical information such as amplitude, phase, and time remain faithful to the original signal, for sound that's pure and uncolored.
A finely crafted cabinet
The super-strong one-inch-thick MDF cabinet features internal bracings to enhance rigidity and minimize sound-muddying internal resonance. A die-cast aluminum front baffle provides a rigid mounting surface for the drivers and reduces unwanted vibrations, for crystal-clear sonic performance.
