WHY BUILD THE Cinema 10?

Serious theater sound where ordinary speakers are hard to place.

The Presence 10 was designed for home theaters that need powerful sound from speakers mounted high on a wall or ceiling. Its angled cabinet helps aim the speaker toward the listening area, making it especially useful for rear surrounds, side surrounds, and overhead or height-channel applications.

At the heart of the design is the Celestion FTX1025, which combines a 10-inch woofer and 1-inch compression driver in a coaxial arrangement. Because both drivers radiate from the same general location and along the same axis, the Presence 10 can provide strong, consistent coverage while keeping the entire speaker compact enough for placement around a theater.

The combination of a high-sensitivity professional driver and purpose-built angled enclosure gives the Presence 10 the output needed for dynamic movie sound without requiring a large floor-standing speaker at every surround position.

Angled for Better PlacementThe enclosure naturally aims the speaker toward the listening area when mounted high on a wall or ceiling.
Coaxial Driver DesignA 10-inch woofer and 1-inch compression driver radiate from the same general location, providing consistent coverage from a compact package.
High-Output Theater PerformanceHigh sensitivity and professional Celestion components deliver dynamic, room-filling sound without requiring an oversized enclosure.
