Serial no. 4753 and 4754

Year 1996-1997

Renowned for their warm, natural British sound and exceptional mid-range clarity, these legendary monitors deliver incredible vocal and acoustic performance.

A compact speaker system that condenses know-how.

A 16 cm cone type woofer is installed in the low range.

This unit takes over the mid-range unit of the SP-100 and uses a specially treated polypropylene cone and 25 mm voice coil.

A special version of the Scanspeak D2010, a 1.9 cm soft dome type tweeter, is installed in the high range.

A glass fiber substrate is used for the network section, and metal film capacitors, resistors, radio metal cores and air-core chokes are mounted on the substrate.

Also, OFC is used for all internal wiring.

The driver unit and crossover network are carefully selected and matched within 0.5 dB so that each pair can produce an accurate stereo image.

Bi-wiring is supported.
