Match UP X4BMW-CTR.3 – 2-way coaxial center upgrade speaker for BMW
The Match UP X4BMW-CTR.3 is the center-channel member of Audiotec Fischer’s MATCH UPGRADE speaker range for BMW, created for listeners who find the basic factory speaker setup lacking. It is a 2-way coaxial center speaker with a car-specific basket, developed exclusively for BMW vehicles and supplied as a single unit.
The center speaker improves sound staging for both the driver and the front passenger and is voiced to match the tonal character of the other MATCH UPGRADE speakers. Its 13 mm silk dome tweeter delivers finely resolved treble, and the result is a coherent soundstage that clearly outperforms the OEM setup in resolution, precision and dynamics. Its full potential is reached with a MATCH DSP amplifier offering center management.
