Diva by Swans C3 3-way Center Channel Loudspeaker


The center channel is arguably the most important speaker in any multi-channel audio system, delivering 70-80% of most movie soundtracks. When tasked with designing a center channel loudspeaker worthy of the Diva name, nothing short of exceptional would suffice.

The result…the Diva C3…the ultimate in center channels. Bringing Diva quality performance, aethetics, and raw value to the center channel application, this phenomenal speaker was rapidly catapulted to the top of the audiophile wish list. Featuring a design that has since been replicated but never duplicated, the C3 offers a true 3-way, 4-driver design that delivers crystal clear sonics and a warm lush midrange atop a solid low-frequency platform.

The foundation for the C3 is the incredibly detailed yet powerful twin 6.5” magnetically shielded midbass woofer array that works in unison within a sealed enclosure (suitable for restricted placement requirements) to produce a low-frequency response that defies the C3's slim TV-top footprint…and with none of the CRT distortion effect that you may be used to. However, the real prize-winner in the C3 is the innovative 50mm dome midrange driver sitting all alone dead-center in the C3 cabinet. This incredible driver gives the C3 the ability to reproduce the most subtle dynamics – the only way to reproduce the incredibly demanding audio range of vocal dialogue (90% of a center channels duty) that brings your theater to life. Complimenting this midrange is the same 1” Ferro-fluid cooled German silk dome tweeter found in all Diva models – mounted in this application within a low-diffraction housing that further extends its flexibility in placement configurations.

The Diva C3 is the no-compromise alternative to a speaker category that is simply an afterthought with many home theater loudspeaker manufacturers.

"In home theater, the center channel is by far the most used speaker. Having a good center channel is absolutely critical, and the C3 fills that spot very well. We've often criticized systems for having a weak center channel, but the Diva system earns praise for this area. Many systems don't shine until the left and right main speakers begin producing effects, but the C3 center may be the best part of the entire system. We actually got decent response all the way to 54hz in our room. The combination of good bass response and the silky, smooth vocal characteristics…we loved this center channel." - Cheap Home Theater (click logo for full .pdf review).
