Product Description
Product Description
Center channel speaker for use with home theater systems.
From the Manufacturer
The Yamaha NS-C444 center channel speaker system is specifically designed for home theater applications. The speaker features an acoustic suspension and incorporates dual 5-inch polymer-injected mica diaphragm (PMD) cone woofers and a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter. For improved imaging, the midrange and tweeter utilize Yamaha's exclusive waveguide horns, which significantly reduce reflected sound and increase the proportion of directly generated sound waves reaching your ears. This compensates for the lack of sound-absorbing materials on the walls of most homes. The result is a clear and precise sense of sound direction and placement that replicates the sound produced in commercial movie theaters.
The NS-C444 speaker boasts optimum sound quality by featuring Monster Cable internal wiring among several components, ensuring a clean, clear signal from the crossover network to the speaker driver. In addition, the speaker is magnetically shielded, so you can place it on a TV or video monitor without degrading the picture via stray magnetic fields. The speaker's performance is enhanced by its solidly constructed elliptical form cabinet (with a high-gloss, black piano finish), which diffracts a minimum of sound. The speaker also features a new grille design and cloth that serves as an attractive and acoustically transparent protective cover for the drivers.

Here's what you need to know
1) I've been pleased with the performance of this speaker - it does a nice job with dialogue. It also does well supporting my overall 5.1 Yamaha system.
2) it's big - know the dimensions before you get it. I did but was still surprised by the size of it. You can't hide this in a cabinet unless you have a bit cabinet. Thankfully though the finish/cabinet is nice and it looks good sitting out
3) I do believe the NC-310 is probably the better speaker, performance-wise given the specs, but if you are just an avg joe like me I don't think you'll notice the difference and so long as you don't mind the larger size I think you'll be pleased
Yes the dimensions listed on Amazon are STILL incorrect after 2.5 years but if you hit "see more technical details" you will see the correct dimensions. As a home theater enthusiast looking to build/upgrading a system one component at a time you need to do your research using the manufacture's site and other internet resources.
So how good is it? There are four factors that influence the sound you hear-Media, AV Receiver, speakers and environment:
1) The input signal (are you watching TV with a stereo signal? or a DVD/Blue Ray disk with 5.1/7.1 audio encoded in DTS/DD/DTS-MA/Dolby TrueHD? You want broadcast TV to sound as good as HD Audio it's not the receiver or speakers fault.
2) How good is your AV receiver in decoding, amplifying the input signal? Do you use Dolby PLII/DTS Neo/THX when playing back stereo signals. How good is the audio processing for those modes? You have a crappy receiver you cannot blame the media or the speakers.
3) How good are you speakers-ALL OF THEM-Front Left/Right, Center, Surround Left/Right and sub woofer in reproducing the signal that is sent to them?
4) The MOST important factor is environment/room set up for your Home Theater. If you have a DEDICATED home theater (you probably will not need an NS-C444 in that case) then you do not have the same problem with background noise as a living/family room or basement based home theater.
When you have the dishwasher, washer/dryer, kids playing, other external noise in the background not matter how good your Home theater is or how EXPENSIVE it is none of it matters.
This center channel does EXACTLY what it's supposed to do for the price. It reproduces all center channel inputs faithfully. So for my family room home theater it's the best value for money in center channel.
It replaced a 10 year old onkyo center speaker. Looks nice, nice design, shape - bigger than it looks in picture.
