QR Code Link to This Post
Three-way compact system:
- A 10″ long‑throw woofer facing down via a floor-clearance slot (~1″ high), producing frequencies up to ~180–190 Hz
- A 5″ midrange driver on the front panel handling ~190–2,600 Hz, tuned with damping on the baffle to reduce diffraction
- A 1″ soft-dome tweeter, discreetly positioned in a corner with an adjustable ±3 dB level switch on the back to tailor high-frequency output
Specifications:
- Cabinet size: ~11″ W × 12″ H front, 14″ D depth to accommodate the downward woofer
- Impedance: Consistent 6–10 Ω, dipping occasionally to ~4.5 Ω at ~130 Hz
- Frequency response: Flat (±2 dB) from ~140 Hz to 20 kHz; off-axis tweeter dispersion solid to 10 kHz
- Efficiency: Highly sensitive—~90–91 dB @1 W/1 m
- Bass capability: Despite their size, they deliver down to ~48–50 Hz with clean output
