Know before you buy
The integrated 8-inch subwoofer handles the low-frequency effects that standard center speakers often miss. This provides a fuller, more authoritative sound for dialogue and cinematic action, ensuring the center channel matches the impact of your main floor-standing speakers.
Yes, because the CS9060 features a built-in powered subwoofer, it requires a connection to a standard AC wall outlet in addition to the speaker wire connection from your receiver.
Intelligent Bass Control allows you to adjust the level of deep bass while maintaining the overall tonal balance of the midrange. This ensures that your dialogue remains clear and crisp even when the subwoofer is delivering powerful low-end impact.
The CS9060 is 20-13/16 inches wide and 14 inches deep. You should measure your media console to ensure there is enough clearance for the 6-inch height and the depth, keeping in mind that you will need access to the rear for cable connections.
