Precise, detailed sound

Exclusive Focal innovations, the TNF tweeter and Slatefiber diaphragm loudspeakers deliver precise, silky highs and a dynamic, well-balanced midrange/bass sound. In addition to the optional 45cm stand, a small tilt base (included in the product) enables Theva Center to adapt to the listener by raising the soundstage.

Focal Theva Center – Precision Dialogue, Elegant Design

Center Stage Clarity

The Focal Theva Center is the beating heart of a true home cinema system. Specifically engineered to deliver crystal-clear dialogue and vocal precision, this compact yet powerful center speaker ensures that every whisper, word, and vocal nuance reaches the listener with full clarity—regardless of the action unfolding on screen. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the rest of the Theva line, the Theva Center is the essential building block of any immersive home theater setup.

Dedicated to Dialogue and Vocal Range

Unlike general-purpose loudspeakers, the Theva Center is optimized for the critical midrange frequencies where the human voice resides. It features two 5″ Slatefiber cone woofers for accurate low and midrange reproduction, and a 1″ TNF aluminum/magnesium inverted dome tweeter for smooth, detailed highs. This carefully tuned configuration ensures that voices remain articulate and naturally balanced, even amidst complex sound effects and musical scores.

Slatefiber Cones – Engineered in France

At the core of the Theva Center’s acoustic performance is Focal’s proprietary Slatefiber cone technology, developed and manufactured in France. Composed of recycled carbon fibers blended with a thermoplastic polymer, these cones provide a rare balance of lightness, rigidity, and damping. The result is a driver that delivers fast, clean transients and superb tonal neutrality—perfect for reproducing voices with authenticity and depth.

Compact Design, Expansive Performance

Despite its compact footprint, the Theva Center is designed to perform in medium and large rooms alike. With a frequency response of 59Hz to 28kHz and sensitivity rated at 91 dB, it offers impressive dynamics and broad coverage. This ensures that dialogue is delivered clearly not just to the listener seated at the center—but across the entire seating area. Whether you’re watching an intense drama or an action-packed blockbuster, the Theva Center ensures that every word is heard and felt.

Seamless System Integration

The Theva Center is designed to perfectly complement other loudspeakers in the Theva range, including the Theva N°1, N°2, N°3, and N°3-D. Its tonal signature is matched for consistency across the front soundstage, allowing for flawless integration in a 5.1, 7.1, or Dolby Atmos® system. When placed beneath a screen or TV, it anchors the dialogue and front action with authority and balance, while preserving the immersive qualities of a multi-channel surround system.

Refined Looks to Match the Sound

Beyond sound, the Theva Center is a showcase of Focal’s French design philosophy—blending minimalist form with luxurious finishes. The cabinet is available in three modern finishes: Black, Dark Wood, and Light Wood, all featuring fine textures and a matte front panel. A magnetic grille keeps the aesthetic clean while protecting the drivers, and the cabinet proportions allow for flexible placement in TV stands, media consoles, or custom furniture.

Easy Placement and Versatility

Thanks to its horizontally oriented design and moderate size, the Theva Center can fit into a wide range of home setups. Whether wall-mounted, shelf-placed, or integrated into a media cabinet, it performs consistently well in diverse acoustic environments. Rubber feet and rear porting ensure clean bass extension and acoustic decoupling from surfaces.

Conclusion

The Focal Theva Center is an indispensable component for any high-performance home cinema system. Its clear, balanced voicing ensures that dialogue and central sound effects are delivered with pinpoint accuracy—bringing emotional weight and intelligibility to every scene. With its refined design, French-made technology, and seamless system compatibility, the Theva Center transforms the way you experience movies, series, and concerts—making every line of dialogue unforgettable.
