Thiel MCS-1 Brochure
MCS1
The THIEL MCS1 offers the highest performance with
greatest ease of placement for multichannel sound.
HE THIEL MCS1 IS A BREAKTHROUGH
loudspeaker for achieving high
T
performance sound from an easy
to place cabinet in home music and
video sound systems. The MCS1’s
combination of extremely realistic
reproduction with high output capability, high efficiency, and magnetic
shielding makes it a truly ultimate
performance multichannel speaker.
Fits seamlessly in your room
The MCS1 is ideally suited for main,
center, or rear channel use. It is
designed to provide maximum
performance with vertical, horizontal,
shelf, or stand placement. The
beautiful, real wood or laminate
cabinetry integrates seamlessly into any
room. Custom finishes to match your
furniture are available.
All-metal diaphragm drivers
The MCS1 is a three-way, dual port
system incorporating all THIELdesigned and built metal diaphragm
drivers—a 1-inch dome tweeter,
3.5-inch midrange driver, and

both background listening and action
movie sound levels.
Time correct driver mounting
The MCS1’s coaxial driver mounting
results in perfect time coherence
regardless of listener position or
speaker placement, greatly improving
imaging and transient fidelity for all
sound sources, including center and
rear-channel applications in high
performance home theater systems.
Cabinet construction
The MCS1’s 1-inch thick cabinet
walls, 3-inch thick sculpted baffle,
internal bracing, and aluminum driver
chassis all contribute to reducing
unwanted vibration for greater clarity

Woofer
The two MCS1 6-inch 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 2.5 pound
magnet increases output
capability and the drivers are
shielded to allow speaker
placement near televisions.
Tweeter/Midrange coaxial array
The MCS1’s tweeter and midrange diaphragms
share the

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 with high
purity copper wire preserve sonic information for
even greater fidelity.
