The MCS1 offers the highest performance with the greatest ease of placement for multichannel sound

 

Ideally suited for main, center, and rear channel use.

Designed to provide maximum performance with
vertical, horizontal, shelf, or stand placement.

Provides great realism for both music and movies.

Beautiful cabinetry integrates well into any room.

Delivers very high output.

Has high (90dB) efficiency.

The MCS1 is a breakthrough loudspeaker for achieving high performance sound from an easy-to-place cabinet in home music and video sound systems. The MCS1's extremely realistic reproduction, combined with high output capability, high efficiency, and magnetic shielding makes it a truly ultimate performance multichannel loudspeaker.

 

 
NEW MCS1 REVIEW ONLINE

"The Thiel MCS1 array has so many qualities that make it an ideal choice for a do-it-all, flexible system that I hardly know where to begin...The MCS1 system is a real winner."

All of THIEL's speaker systems are sonically matched, so you can put together an incredibly realistic multi-channel home theater system with MCS1s and any of THIEL's other seven high performance models. Shown here are MCS1s for rear and center speakers with a pair of CS7.2s for the front channels. Front and rear channel speakers are beautifully finished in matching exotic Bird's-eye Maple. The center channel's black laminate finish blends perfectly with the rear projection television and equipment stand.  



MCS1 stands are available for vertical or horizontal placement

THIEL speakers are completely designed and built in-house. Drivers, cabinets, and crossover networks are engineered with the highest quality materials and workmanship to deliver exceptional sonic performance, offer outstanding reliability, and produce beautiful cabinetry.


 


Tweeter/Midrange Coaxial Array
One of the MCS1's most innovative design features is a newly developed coaxial tweeter/midrange driver where the two drivers' diaphragms share the same voice coil. This technique allows the elimination of the midrange/tweeter section of the electrical crossover network as the drivers' structure provides a mechanical crossover. The coaxial mounting results in perfect time coherence regardless of listener position, greatly improving imaging and transient fidelity. The MCS1 uses a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter and a 3.5-inch aluminum diaphragm midrange. A very low distortion short coil/long gap motor system greatly increases openness and clarity.


 

Woofer
The two MCS1 6.5 "woofers use metal diaphragms to eliminate resonances in the operating range for very clear and open reproduction. Expensive short coil/long gap, copper stabilized motor systems dramatically reduce distortion. The 2.2 pound magnet increases output capability and efficiency.  Click here to see a cutaway drawing of the MCS1 woofer

Electrical Crossover
The phase correct electrical crossover design improves spatial and transient performance. The network also corrects small tonal irregularities, improving frequency response. Pure polystyrene and polypropylene capacitors, and air-core inductors wound wound with high purity copper wire preserves sonic information for even greater fidelity.
