Reference Active Centerpiece & Media Solution | Available at Trimira Audio
The JL Audio Primacy® CS Stereo Centerpiece is an all-in-one active loudspeaker system designed to provide full-range stereo performance and highly intelligible dialogue from a single, low-profile enclosure.
Designed for placement beneath displays, on media consoles, or within suitable furniture, the Primacy CS combines multiple driver sections with dedicated internal amplification and DSP processing, reducing the need for separate loudspeakers and external amplification in compact media environments.
At Trimira Audio, we recommend the Primacy CS for premium media rooms, living spaces, and home-cinema installations where a clean visual presentation needs to be combined with sophisticated active loudspeaker technology.
Key Features & Technological Innovations
Active Single-Enclosure Stereo Architecture
The Primacy CS integrates left- and right-channel driver arrays into a single enclosure.
The channels are acoustically isolated within the cabinet and independently amplified, allowing the system to generate a broad stereo image while maintaining a compact footprint.
Integrated Multi-Channel Amplification
Dedicated internal amplifier channels drive the individual frequency sections.
This active architecture removes the need for conventional passive crossover components between the external amplifier and drivers, allowing the internal electronics to control the transducers directly.
Advanced Onboard DSP
The integrated DSP manages key aspects of the acoustic system, including:
- Active crossover filtering
- Driver time alignment
- Phase optimisation
- Level management
- Stereo-image processing
This allows the Primacy CS to be configured as an integrated acoustic platform rather than simply a passive centre speaker.
Enhanced Dialogue Intelligibility
The acoustic architecture is designed to maintain clear vocal reproduction and stable centre imaging.
For home cinema, this helps dialogue remain anchored around the display while the left and right sections provide a wider stereo presentation.
Low-Profile Architectural Enclosure
The enclosure uses rigid construction and internal acoustic isolation to reduce unwanted cabinet vibration.
Its horizontal form factor makes it particularly suitable for:
- TV consoles
- Media cabinets
- Display furniture
- Low-profile installations
- Dedicated media rooms
