• Coaxially mounted drivers ensure
high performance sound regardless of
placement or listener position. Ideally
suited for main, center, and surround
channel use.
• High output capability for demanding
home theater applications
• Completely time and phase coherent
reproduction for greater realism of
movies and music than conventional
loudspeakers.
• Ultra low-distortion short coil/long gap,
copper-stabilized driver motor systems
for excellent sonic delity and tonal
accuracy.
• Die-cast aluminum bafe with robust
cabinet provides greater clarity.
Time and Phase correct
Coherent Source®design
As with all THIEL loudspeakers,
the SCS4 utilizes a phase correct
crossover system to eliminate
phase distortion. The coaxial
midrange/tweeter mounting
provides perfect time coherence
regardless of listener position or
whether the cabinet is oriented
vertically or horizontally. The
SCS4’s time and phase coherence
and coaxially mounted, low
distortion drivers provide a very
high level of clarity and realism for
all types of sound reproduction.
Unique, robust cabinet
construction
The extremely rigid and robust
cabinet contributes to the SCS4’s
exceptional sonic clarity. The
front bafe is made of die-cast
aluminum that is much stiffer
than the usual MDF and therefore
reduces the unwanted vibrations
that obscure sonic detail. The
bafe casting also provides a very
rigid mounting for the drivers,
reducing the whole-driver motions
that degrade sonic clarity. The
other cabinet panels are made
of doubly laminated 1” thick
MDF, unied and reinforced
with thick braces. Such robust
construction used in a cabinet of
these compact dimension results
in a level of strength and vibration
resistance equal to that found on
much more expensive products.
The SCS4 is available in Natural
Cherry, Dark Cherry, and Black
Ash real wood nishes.
Innovative, very low
distortion drivers
The SCS4 uses a very low
distortion, high output, metal
diaphragm 6.5-inch woofer that
is coaxially mounted with a
1-inch, high output metal
dome tweeter, the same high
performance tweeter that is
used in THIEL’s agship model
CS3.7. The woofer’s short coil/
long gap, copper stabilized motor
system greatly reduces distortion,
and its reinforced metal
diaphragm is specially shaped
to reduce diffraction of the
tweeter’s energy.
The new SCS4 is a
versatile, two-way,
bookshelf-sized speaker
system that provides outstanding
front, rear, or center channel
performance in multi-channel or
two channel systems. The SCS4’s
high output capability satises the
demanding requirements of
today’s home theater systems.
In addition, the SCS4’s unusual
coaxial driver mounting allows
great placement exibility by
ensuring that every listener hears
the sound from both drivers at
exactly the same time, regardless
of where and in what orientation
the speakers are placed. But most
importantly, the SCS4 provides
exceptionally realistic and
dynamic sonic performance
because it incorporates the same
innovative THIEL technologies
that are used in our much more
expensive products.
