2/ PRODUCT OVERVIEW

We are offering this pair of vintage University 3-way loudspeakers equipped with N-3 crossover networks, built around a classic group of University components from the company's high-efficiency loudspeaker era.

Each speaker uses a substantial University C15W 15-inch woofer. The C15W features a dual-voice-coil design and University's heavy Alnico 5 Gold Dot magnet assembly, providing the foundation for the system's low-frequency reproduction.

The middle frequencies are handled by a University T-30 compression driver coupled to a horn, while a separate horn-loaded high-frequency section completes the three-way arrangement.

The system uses University N-3 three-way crossover networks with selectable low-to-mid crossover operation and separate Presence and Brilliance controls for adjustment of the middle and upper-frequency balance.

The components are installed in substantial furniture-style wood cabinets with woven brown front grilles, giving the pair the distinctive presentation associated with early American high-fidelity loudspeaker systems.

3/ HQAUDIOS RESTORATION & TESTING

Before Restoration

When this University speaker pair arrived at our workshop, our technicians inspected the complete speaker systems before beginning service and final preparation.

The inspection covered the C15W woofer sections, T-30 horn-loaded drivers, high-frequency horn sections, N-3 crossover networks, Presence and Brilliance controls, internal wiring, speaker connections, cabinet interiors, exterior wood surfaces, and grille assemblies.

The cabinets, grille cloth, crossover housings, and internal components retain visible age-related cosmetic character consistent with vintage loudspeakers of this period.

During Restoration

The complete pair was cleaned, inspected, serviced, and prepared by our HQaudios team with attention to proper three-way operation and reliable signal transfer.

Low-Frequency Sections: The C15W 15-inch woofer sections were inspected and checked during system operation.

Midrange Sections: The T-30 horn-loaded compression-driver sections were inspected and checked as part of the complete systems.

High-Frequency Sections: The horn-loaded high-frequency sections were checked during system operation.

N-3 Crossover Networks: The three-way crossover networks and their Presence and Brilliance controls were checked during operation.

Connections & Wiring: Accessible internal wiring, speaker connections, and signal paths were inspected and cleaned as part of the service process.

Cabinets & Grilles: The wood cabinet surfaces and woven grille assemblies were carefully cleaned and detailed for final presentation.

Internal Components: The crossover housings, horn assemblies, woofer frames, cabinet interiors, and damping materials were inspected and cleaned where accessible.

After Restoration / Final Testing

After service and preparation were completed, the pair underwent final functional and listening tests.

Three-Way Output: Bass, midrange, and high-frequency reproduction were checked during final operation.

Left / Right Playback: Both speakers were compared for consistent operation as a stereo pair.

Presence / Brilliance Controls: Both adjustment functions were checked during playback.

Crossover & Connections: Three-way crossover operation and speaker signal connections were checked during final testing.
