Bose Model 802 loudspeaker

Model 802 Loudspeaker System

The Bose Model 802 represents the most significant advance in professional loudspeaker systems since Bose first introduced its revolutionary Model 800. incorporating a number of major departures from traditional loudspeaker design, the 800 series has since become the standard among professionals who demand systems which produce the cleanest, most natural sound.

The Model 802 utilizes a multiple array of matched, full-range drivers. Their close acoustical coupling results in a smoothing and broadening of individual driver resonances, producing an unusually transparent and detailed sound. The full-range driver concept also eliminates the need for a crossover, thereby eliminating crossover coloration and yielding a sound which has exceptional clarity and realism.

In each Model 802 enclosure, the eight drivers are mounted on four separate facets for smooth dispersion. Dual reactive air columns greatly increase the bass output, while lowering distortion by reducing cone excursion at low frequencies. A unique impedance control circuit, internal to the cabinet, lowers the high-frequency power requirements by reducing the slope of the impedance - versus - frequency curve.

Excellent transient response is achieved though the use of relatively light cones powered by massive magnetic structures. The smooth frequency response and excellent spatial properties of the multiple-driver design also permit performers to work very close to the speakers without causing feedback problems.

Each driver incorporates an edge-wound, aluminum ribbon voice coil for exceptional efficiency and power-handling capacity.efficiency is further enhanced though the use of a 12-ounce ceramic magnet and a reinforced polymer frame, which reduces magnetic flux leakage.

Matched equalization not incorporated into other professional loudspeaker systems, is tailored to the acoustics of the Model 802 and assures full frequency range performance. The new Model 802-E active equalizer provides extremely detailed equalization for smooth, wide response. Phone jacks and XLR connectors allow a choice of unbalanced or balanced inputs. The 802-E's output circuit will drive high-impedance or 600 Ω lines.

Braun TG 1000 open-reel deck

The TG 1000 operates in any position, it has a space for a fourth head in its plug-in head assembly. The additional head can be used as 4-track play back head or be used for slide synchronizing. There is a remote control unit TGF3 available for all functions. All US-plugs. All headphones with impedances from 5 - 2000 ohms can be driven to full volume. Sound on sound; echo; tape monitoring are provided. The counter has 4 digits, and the unique new TB 1022 low noise, high output tape eliminates the need for 10,5" reels. The TG 1000 holds 3300 ft of tape om its 8-3/4" reels. The tape drive with the electronic tension control is so gentle and foolproof that even triple play tape may be used. The built in cable driver and the wide dynamic range input circuitry permit flexibility at the interfaces to amplifiers and microphones. The level meters are peak reading for fast response. The robust construction is very compact and fully modular. All circuitry is silicon solid state.

Thiel CS.5 speakers

The CS.5 is a Two-way ported, floor-standing loudspeaker offering high performance in a compact, easy-to-place cabinet and at an entry-level price. Completely time and phase coherent, the CS.5 provides a dimension of clarity and realism that conventional speakers in its price class cannot achieve, making it ideal for both music and video sound.

The CS.5 incorporates many of the same design techniques used in other Thiel, speakers to achieve our goal of accurate musical reproduction in all areas of performance. The drivers are positioned along a sloping front baffle for correct time alignment, and the crossover is designed to provide phase accurate transitions between the drivers. These two design features alone result in an unusually high level of spatial and transient fidelity for a speaker of this price. A specially shaped grillboard decreases diffraction for more open sound, and the heavy cabinet construction reduces unwanted vibration to improve clarity and imaging.

Quality construction and materials.

The CS.5 uses the same quality materials as the more expensive Thiel models - a die cast magnesium woofer chassis, polypropylene or polystyrene capacitors, and rigid 1-inch thick cabinet walls.

Tweeter

The 1-inch metal dome tweeter uses a large magnet, vented pole, and reinforced rear chamber to allow a low resonance frequency and a wide bandwidth. The result is high frequency reproduction of great clarity and realism.

Woofer

The Thiel-designed 6,5-inch, treated paper cone woofer incorporates the same short coil/long gap motor design as other Thiel woofers for low distortion, very good midrange performance, and clean bass response. The woofer is magnetically shielded to prevent video image distortion.
