Sidebar 3: Specifications
Description: four-driver, three-way, floorstanding loudspeaker with "Conjugate Load Matching," "Coupled-Cavity" bass loading, and optional, line-level equalizer. Drive-units: two 6.5" (160mm) fiberglass-reinforced, pulp-cone woofers, one 6.5" (160mm) "Uni-Q" midrange/tweeter with concentric 1" (25mm) soft-dome tweeter. Crossover frequencies: 3rd-order at 160Hz, 5th-order at 2.5kHz. Frequency response: 50Hz–20kHz, ±2.5dB, –6dB at 38Hz (measured at 2m on reference axis). Sensitivity: 91dB/W/m (2.83V RMS input, band-limited 50Hz–20kHz, anechoic conditions). Nominal Impedance: 4 ohms. Amplifier requirements: 50–200W into 4 ohms.
