OCTAVE CENTER
OWNERS MANUAL

Congratulations on acquiring Morel’s Octave Center.
We encourage you to read this manual in order to understand the key issues
and important elements that led us to design and develop the Octave Center.
The information in this manual will help you get the best possible performance
out of your system.
If you have any questions, please contact your Morel dealer.

We are happy you have become a part of the Morel family and hope you will
enjoy the rich listening experience of the Octave.
The technological innovation we employed in the Octave Center helps to
optimize accuracy and control as well as get the best dispersion over a wide
listening area.
The dynamic reach and power handling of the Octave Center allows it to cope
with the most demanding sound effects and music and capture the details of
even the softest whisper.
The Octave Center consists of three 5 ¼”(130 mm) woofer units and a wide-
range tweeter. The construction is based on the integration of the Octave
system’s drive units in the center speaker. The center speaker has the same
sound characteristics as an Octave speaker with a more powerful bass impact
and higher power handling capability. The construction of the tweeter, located
above the woofer, serves to avoid horizontal dispersion problems that are
so typical to many center speakers.
The Octave Center acoustical design is made for high definition dialogue in an
audio-visual system and perfect for a non-compromise music reproduction.
The unusual drive unit configuration design is made as two separate sections,
divided into three individual cabinets. The central part is the bass midrange
unit with the tweeter on top, for full range performance. The two left and
right woofers operate in a common bass reflex loaded cabinet, enhancing the
low frequency bass notes.
The Octave Center is magnetically shielded therefore it can be placed close
to a TV screen, either above or below it, without causing any disturbances.
