    • Peak Power Handling: 200 watts (The maximum amount of power an electronic device, like a speaker, can handle without damage. This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)
    • Impedance: 8 ohms (Describes the resistance of an electric signal throughout the system. Devices with low impedance require less power to deliver optimal signals but are more at risk for damage from overloading. Higher impedance requires more power but is more protected from overload damage.)
    • Minimum Frequency Response: 42 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
    • Maximum Frequency Response: 22 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones.

    • Sensitivity: 85.5 decibels
    • High Resolution Audio: false (Hear music the way musicians and sound technicians intended it to be heard. Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)

Q: Can this speaker be mounted on the wall ?

A: Hello, due to the size and weight of the speaker, it is not recommended to mount it to the wall. May I suggest a shelf adequately mounted to the wall equipped to hold the speaker's weight? Mounting a center channel directly to the wall, please consider our new DM20 center channel. The DM20 center channel is wall mountable.

Q: One of the pictures says dual BDSS drivers. Either bad proofreading or I need to learn what BDSS means???

A: The D5c’s dual 5.25” patented Balanced Double Surround System™ (BDSS) woofers provide greater excursion and output for superior midrange detail and tighter bass compared with other drivers of similar size. Hello, the BDSS woofers are the midrange drivers used in the center channel.
