Product description

Authentic subtlety

THE SOUND AESTHETIC

The Reference Series speakers are, as the name suggests, are the go-to reference when it comes to speaker technology in the NUMAN house of design. Meticulously chosen components and sophisticated tuning makes them sound unique. The classic design and varied choice of colours mean the speakers can be integrated seamlessly into any living space. 

The NUMAN Reference 803 is a 2-way centre speaker for home cinema systems and multi-channel sound music enjoyment. Additionally, it provides a fine, nuanced mid and high frequency resolution with an extremely balanced frequency response for speech quality. The D’Appolito configuration ensures an especially spatial resolution with wide dispersion behaviour. Due to its size, the speaker reaches deeper frequency ranges in comparison to other models.

Precision mechanism

PURE SOUND CULTURE

The system consists of two 16.5 cm (6,5") subwoofers and a tweeter with silk calottes and integrated NUMAN sound guidance. Furthermore, an aluminium, pressure die cast chassis, ferrite magnets and a closed wooden housing with shock-absorbing material made of acoustic knob foam deliver an extraordinary listening experience with particular richness of detail.

M8 thread sockets have been left in the bottom panel of the housing for sound tuners. This allows spikes to be used without cumbersome modifications. Such spikes are optionally available on request in our shop. 

For an authentic home cinema feeling, the centre speaker can be placed on sideboards, a speaker stand or mounted directly on a wall or over the television. Vibration-reducing silicon feet are included for use with a stand, which remove any contact between the stand and the ground, effectively minimising unwanted resonance. The result is a noticeably more precise signal playback. 

The speakers in the NUMAN Reference series are typical 4 Ω speakers, that can be harmonised with any HiFi amplifier. In order to enjoy the full dynamics, a powerful full amplifier with an output of 120-200 W is recommended.

Statement or understatement

FREEDOM OF CHOICE

Four colours cater to your tastes: Traditional black or white or somewhat more individual in grey oak or rosewood.

The Reference series was designed without any covering according to the principles of the naturist movement. The most sensitive part of the speaker, the tweeter, is protected by a metal grid, withstanding any curious fingers.

THE SOUND-AESTHETE

The speakers of the Reference series are, as the name suggests, the reference when it comes to speaker technology at NUMAN. Carefully selected components and a sophisticated tuning make their sound image unique. Thanks to the classic design and a wide range of colours, they blend seamlessly into every living space.

The NUMAN Reference 803 is a two-way centre speaker for home cinema systems and multi-channel sound. For this purpose, it offers a fine, nuanced mid-range and high-frequency resolution with a frequency response specially adapted to speech intelligibility. The D'Appolito arrangement provides a particularly wide spatial resolution with broad radiation characteristics. Due to its size, the frequency range goes considerably deeper compared to other models.

Precision work

PURE SOUND CULTURE

Two 16.5 cm (6.5") woofers, a high tweeter with silk dome and built-in NUMAN sound guide as well as aluminium die-cast chassis, ferrite magnets and a closed wooden case with damping material made of acoustic convoluted foam guarantee an extraordinary listening experience with special detail.

For sound tuning, M8 threaded sockets are inserted into the bottom plate of the housing. This way, the spikes can be used directly without complicated conversions. These are optionally available in our shop.

For a true home cinema feel, the centre speaker can be placed on sideboards, a loudspeaker stand or directly on the wall under or over the TV. The stand features vibration-resistant silicone feet, which decouple the speaker from the floor and minimise unwanted resonances. The result is a much more precise signal reproduction.

The speakers of the NUMAN Reference series are typical 4 Ohm loudspeakers, which harmonise with every HiFi amplifier. In order to enjoy the full dynamics, it is recommended that you use a powerful amplifier with an output power of 120 - 200 watts.

FREE CHOICE

There are four colours to choose from. Traditional in black or white and somewhat more individual in grey oak or rosewood.

With a more naturalistic approach, the Reference series has been designed without any covers. The most sensitive part of the loudspeaker - the tweeter - is protected by a metal grille and withstands every kind of finger attack.

If desired, however, the Reference 803 speakers can easily be fitted with a loudspeaker cover. There are two colours available: elegant silver or understated black. Thanks to the magnetic mounting system, they are easy to install and remove. The covers can be ordered separately or as a set.

Der Centerlausprecheruwurde mir sehr schnell - innerhalb von 2 Tagen - geliefert. Wesentlicher schneller, als angekündigt. Schon beim Auspacken merkt mann, dass die Leute von Numan Wert auf Qualität legen: Abgesehen von der sicheren Verpackung in 2 stabilen Kartons sind zum Auspacken außerdem weiße Stoffhandschuhe beigelegt! Das habe ich noch nie erlebt! In die Stereoanlage eingebunden liefert der Center einen ausgezeichneten Sound: Egal, ob bei Klassik, Rock oder Pop liefert die Box einen transparenten und klaren Klang. Außerdem bereichert die Box die Klangtiefe der Stereoanlage um einiges und "drückt" den Sound ordentlich, wenn man es möchte. Insgesamt eine tolle Centerbox, zumal bei einem Preis von knapp 90,00 Euro. Daher 5 Sterne und eine klare Kaufempfehlung von mir!

The center speaker was delivered to me very quickly - within 2 days. Much faster than advertised. As soon as you unpack it, you can tell that the people at Numan value quality: Apart from the safe packaging in 2 sturdy boxes, white fabric gloves are also included for unpacking! I have never witnessed anything like this! Integrated into the stereo system, the center delivers an excellent sound: whether it's classical, rock or pop, the box delivers a transparent and clear sound. In addition, the box enriches the sound depth of the stereo system and "pushes" the sound properly if you want it. All in all a great center box, especially at a price of just under 90.00 euros. Therefore 5 stars and a clear purchase recommendation from me!

well, a few months before I have changed my standing front loudspeakers and bought 2 x Numan Reference 803. I have hesitated a couple of weeks because there was no shop to listen it. Than have read various references, tests about that german solid product and have taken the risk. I have got two loudspeakers for 450€ and the sound was and is that impressive good you have to pay regular for that fine quality surely between 1.000-1.200 each! But now the difference between that outstanding good speakers and my old center speaker was though. I decided to give the Numan Reference another try. Amazing! I am a private person and had given this longer recession to help other audiophile people save money and disillusion. I am very satisfied and very happy!

Zunächst mal kommt dieser Centerspeaker gut verpackt und pünklich an. Nach dem öffnen des ersten Karton sieht man den 2. Karton. Vorsichtig geöffnet und den in Folie eingewickelten und durch Schaumstoff gut gesicherten Numan ( made in Germany ) herausgenommen, sieht man sofort die Qualität der Verarbeitung. Es sind sogar "Samthandschuhe" mitgeliefert, damit man das gute Stück nicht mit seinen Fettfingern versaut. Er macht sofort einen sehr hochweritgen Eindruck. Nachdem ich dem fast 9 Kilo schwerem Centerspeaker die mitgelieferten Gummifüße in die dafür vorgesehenen Befestigungen eingedreht habe (Es sind übrigens auch Wandhalter mitgeliefert) kommts dann zum Anklemmen der Lautsprecherkabel mittels vergoldeten Schraubklemmen. So, Onkyo AVR an, Lautsprecher mit Einmeßmicro neu eingemessen und ab zum Test. Filme im Dolby Atmos macht der Numan in kistallklarem Sound weg. Das Teil an seine Grenzen zu zwingen hab ich nicht geschafft, auch wegen den Nachbarn . Der komplette Frequenzbereich bringt der Center sehr real rüber. Auch bei niedriger Lautstärke geht nichts verloren. Für mich, für den Preis ein ganz klarer Preis Leistungssieger. Numan werde ich in Zukunft bei Lautsprecherentscheidungen mit ins Boot nehmen. Ich brauche noch nen aktiven Subwoofer und würde mich uber HIFI Boxen in JBL Control One Größe freuen, das evtl als Anreiz. 5 Sterne, weil ich nicht glaube für das Geld besseres zu finden.

First of all, this center speaker arrives well packaged and on time. After opening the first box you can see the second box. Carefully opened and the Numan (made in Germany), which is wrapped in foil and well secured with foam, is removed, you can immediately see the quality of the workmanship. There are even "velvet gloves" included so that you don't mess up the good piece with your fat fingers. It immediately makes a very high-quality impression. After I screwed the supplied rubber feet into the fastenings provided for the center speaker, which weighs almost 9 kilos (wall brackets are also supplied, by the way), the loudspeaker cables are then connected using gold-plated screw terminals. So, Onkyo AVR on, speakers recalibrated with a calibration micro and off to the test. The Numan renders films in Dolby Atmos in crystal-clear sound. I didn't manage to push the part to its limits, also because of the neighbors. The center conveys the entire frequency range very realistically. Even at low volume nothing is lost. For me, for the price, a very clear price-performance winner. I will take Numan on board when making speaker decisions in the future. I still need an active subwoofer and would be happy about HIFI boxes in JBL Control One size, that might be an incentive. 5 stars because I can't find anything better for the money.

Für einen bemerkenswert geringen Preis bekommt man einen recht gut verarbeiteten, wirklich gut klingenden, ziemlich großen und fast neun Kilo schweren Lautsprecher. Man sollte sich nicht davon abschrecken lassen, dass Numan aus demselben Hause wie Auna kommt. Die Qualität ist in jeder Hinsicht wesentlich besser und in jedem Fall sein Geld wert. Allerdings sollte man auch keine Wunder erwarten. An die Qualität eines doppelt so teuren Canton Lautsprechers kommt dieses Gerät definitiv nicht heran. Aber es wäre auch unfair, das zu erwarten. Ich nutze es für meine Zweitanlage und bin zufrieden.

For a remarkably low price, you get a fairly well-made, really good-sounding, fairly large speaker that weighs almost nine kilos. Don't be put off by the fact that Numan comes from the same family as Auna. The quality is much better in every respect and definitely worth the money. However, don't expect miracles either. This device definitely does not come close to the quality of a Canton loudspeaker that is twice as expensive. But it would also be unfair to expect that. I use it for my second system and am satisfied.

Ein absolut hörenswerter Center für meine Anlage. Absolut weicher Klang und keine Verzerrungen. Das einzige Manko ist, dass er recht groß ist, aber irgendwo muss der Klang ja herkommen....

Ich habe vorher das System 5.1 (kleiner ls) von pioneer gehabt. Wenn ich jetzt die beiden miteinander vergleiche, sind es welten. Vorher kamen die Dialoge sehr dumpf und somit schwer zu verstehen. Daher wollte ich was neues haben. Mir gefällt der ls sehr gut. Klare Dialoge, keine unangenehme Geräusche. Bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Center und bereue den Kauf nicht. Kann aber nur den direkten Vergleich zu meinen Vorgängern beziehen.

I previously had the system 5.1 (smaller ls) from pioneer. If I now compare the two with each other, they are worlds apart. Before, the dialogues were very dull and therefore difficult to understand.

But can only relate the direct comparison to my predecessors.

Habe die Centerbox als Ergänzung zu meinen Numan Reference 801 und dem Subwoofer UniSub bestellt und nicht bereut. Abweichend von den anderen Lautsprechern habe ich den Center in schwarz bestellt. Damit kann man ihn auf Grund der moderaten Tiefe hinter einem Flachbildfernseher verstecken. Klein ist er allerdings nicht. Sehr gute Sprach- und Musikwiedergabe mit großen Frequenzumfang.

I ordered the center box as an addition to my Numan Reference 801 and the UniSub subwoofer and have not regretted it. Unlike the other speakers, I ordered the center in black. This allows you to hide it behind a flat screen TV due to the moderate depth. However, he is not small. Very good speech and music reproduction with a large frequency range.

Vor 4 Monaten habe ich meine alten Front Lautsprecher durch 2 NUMAN Retrospective 1977 MKII ersetzt. Mein alter CANTON Center konnte mit den NUMAN's nicht mithalten. Um eine harmonische Klangbühne zu schaffen, habe ich mir diesen neuen Center von NUMAN gekauft. Was soll ich sagen? Jetzt ist unser Heimkino perfekt! Mit dem alten (kleinen) Center von CANTON hatte ich oft das Problem, dass Dialoge und sonstige Töne aus der Mitte (Bluray 5.1) meistens von den Front Lautsprechern akustisch verschluckt wurden. Um das einigermaßen zu kompensieren, musste ich den Pegel des Center um bis zu 3 db höher stellen. Trotz der angehobenen Lautstärke war der Klang der Dialoge... meistens nur genügend. Eigentlich wollte ich mir den Center "Octavox 703 MKII" kaufen. Da ich glücklicherweise genug Platz habe, steht nun der "große Bruder" Reference 803 unter meinem TV. Die beiden 165mm Tieftöner und das größere Volumen sind eine sinnvolle Investition für ein richtig gutes Heimkino. Dialoge werden vom NUMAN Reference 803 Center besonders klar und leicht wiedergegeben. Und tiefe Stimmen sind ein Ohren-Schmaus! mfG.

4 months ago I replaced my old front speakers with 2 NUMAN Retrospective 1977 MKII. My old CANTON Center couldn't keep up with the NUMAN's. In order to create a harmonious sound stage, I bought this new center from NUMAN. What can I say? Now our home theater is perfect! With the old (small) center from CANTON, I often had the problem that dialogues and other sounds from the center (Bluray 5.1) were mostly acoustically swallowed up by the front speakers. In order to compensate somewhat, I had to raise the level of the center by up to 3 db. Despite the increased volume, the sound of the dialogues was... mostly just enough. I actually wanted to buy the "Octavox 703 MKII" center. Since I fortunately have enough space, the "big brother" Reference 803 is now under my TV. The two 165mm woofers and the larger volume are a sensible investment for a really good home cinema. Dialogues are reproduced particularly clearly and easily by the NUMAN Reference 803 Center. And deep voices are a feast for the ears! Kind regards.

Guter Subwoofer um ihn hinter dem Fernseher zu montieren. Bei Wandmontage mit Gummifüßen von der Wand entkoppeln, sonst kann es dröhnen.

Good subwoofer to mount behind the TV. For wall mounting, decouple from the wall with rubber feet, otherwise it can boom.

Macht einfach Spaß. Kein Kratzen, keine wahrnehmbare Verzerrung. Seidige Höhen und mit entsprechendem Subwoofer ein sehr guter Patner! Top Verarbeitung, frischer, präziser Klang. Nichts zu bemängeln. Für diesen Preis nur schwer schlagbar. Erwartungen erfüllt! Zudem eignet sich das Center auf Grund der geringen Tiefe gut um unter dem Fernseher platziert zu werden, selbst wenn dieser an der Wand hängt. Da ich mit Beamer gucke fällt das bei mir aber nicht ins Gewicht. Für den ein oder anderen aber vielleicht ein interessanter Tip.

Just fun. No scratching, no perceptible distortion. Silky highs and a very good partner with the appropriate subwoofer! Top workmanship, fresh, precise sound. Nothing to fault. Hard to beat for this price. Expectations met! In addition, due to the shallow depth, the center is well suited to be placed under the television, even if it is hanging on the wall. Since I'm watching with a projector, it doesn't matter to me. But maybe an interesting tip for one or the other.

Voller Vorfreude nach diversen Recherchen bestellte ich mir den NUMAN Reference 803 Center Lautsprecher . Die Lieferung kam auch schnell an, der Karton war unbeschädigt also ging es ans auspacken. Der Center war gut verpackt und sah auch gut aus aber bei genauerem hinsehen konnte man in den Lautsprechermebranen kleine Einschlüsse und Kratzer sehen und der Hochglanzlack in der Front hatte einen dicken Läufer aber da ich ja nicht so pingelig bin hab ich den Center genommen und voller Vorfreude angeschlossen und dann kam das große ? keine Höhen und absolut schlechter Klang. Ich dachte das kann es jetzt doch nicht sein haben sich die ganzen Leute geirrt oder hab ich was an den Ohren. Bei genauerem hinsehen sah ich dann das kein Hochtöner in der Aussparung verbaut war ?! Kurz gesagt einen Inbus Schlüssel geholt, Abdeckung abgeschraubt und siehe da der Hochtöner lag lose im Gehäuse,Kabel abgerissen und Halterung defekt,echt super. Hatte jetzt auch keine Lust den Center wieder einzupacken und auf meine kosten zurück zu senden . Also Lötkolben ein bisschen Epoxid harz und die Bastelstunde konnte beginnen. Nach einer Stunde war alles erledigt und dann kam endlich das aha Erlebnis, Super Klang macht einfach nur Spaß mit dem Center Filme zu schauen. Habe mir auch gleich die Octavox 701 und 702 bestellt und hoffe ja mal das sie unbeschädigt ankommen. Update, nachdem ich dem Verkäufer den Sachverhalt am Telefon geschildert habe und ich von einer Rücksendung die übrigens doch kostenlos ist absehe bekomme ich eine Gutschrift über meine Reparatur. Also 5 Sterne für die Box und den Verkäufer.

Full of anticipation after various research, I ordered the NUMAN Reference 803 center speaker. The delivery also arrived quickly, the box was undamaged so it was time to unpack. The center was well packaged and looked good too, but if you took a closer look you could see small inclusions and scratches in the speaker membranes and the high-gloss paint in the front had a thick runner, but since I'm not that picky I took the center and was full of anticipation connected and then came the big one? no highs and absolutely bad sound. I thought that can't be the case, have all the people got it wrong or am I stuck in my ears. When I took a closer look, I saw that there was no tweeter installed in the recess?! In short, I got an Allen key, unscrewed the cover and, lo and behold, the tweeter was loose in the housing, the cable was torn off and the bracket was defective, really great. Didn't feel like packing the center up again and sending it back at my expense. So a bit of epoxy resin with a soldering iron and the handicraft lesson could begin. After an hour everything was done and then finally the aha experience came, super sound is just fun to watch movies with the center. I also ordered the Octavox 701 and 702 right away and I hope they arrive undamaged. Update, after I described the situation to the seller on the phone and I refrain from a return, which by the way is free of charge, I get a credit for my repair. So 5 stars for the box and the seller.
