Energy Take 5.2 HB-1 Compact Center Channel Speaker – Good Condition, Canadian-Made Quality
Experience clear, natural dialogue and effects with the Energy Take 5.2 HB-1 center channel speaker—part of Energy’s acclaimed Take 5.2 system from this respected Canadian manufacturer. In good condition and thoroughly tested, this compact center speaker delivers impressive performance that belies its modest size.
The HB-1 (Take 1.2) features Energy’s signature design with a 1″ multi-laminated aluminum dome tweeter with neodymium magnet, flanked by twin 3½” long-throw woofers with injection-molded homopolymer and aluminum cones. The bass reflex design incorporates dual front-firing ports positioned at the outer edges, allowing flexible placement while extending bass response down to 80Hz—remarkable for such a compact speaker.
Built with quality MDF construction and finished in high-gloss black, this magnetically shielded speaker can be placed near video equipment without interference. The dual 5-way binding posts ensure secure connections and superior performance compared to spring-clip terminals found on many budget center speakers.
