Featuring the latest
version of the time-proven Altec 604 studio monitor speaker series, the 604-8G,
the Model Seventeen provides the home listener with the sound quality that been
the reference standard of the recording
industry for over a quarter of a century.
The Seventeen's
duplex speaker system features a 15" bass driver with coaxially mounted
sectoral horn and compression driver which , in combination , are designed to
produce vibrant bass, transparent midrange and brilliant high-frequency
response that is smooth throughout its entire 30 Hz to 20 kHz range.
This high-efficiency
system is the result of advanced research in materials and production
techniques which developed a new lightweight, high-frequency diaphragm
assembly. Additionally, the Seventeen's duplex speaker format offers a
single-point source of sound for all frequencies, which results in the ultimate
in accurate phasing and stereo imagery.
The Seventeen's new
asymmetrical dividing network design features a 12 dB/octave low-pass filter
and an 18 dB/octave high-pass filter which adds to the improved response
increases the system's power capacity and limits distortion to a minimum level
in the mid frequencies.
Developed
specifically for the critical, professional studio monitoring applications, the
Seventeen's enclosure is rigidly reinforced to functionas a single, inert
cavity. Internal volume is approximately 9 cubic feet and the vent is tuned for
tight, crisp, low bass tonal quality.
The cabinet is
finely crafted of furniture-grade, rift-cut oak, hand-rubbed with pure, natural
oils. Its acoustically transparent removable grille is beautifully shaped of
cocoa brown knit fabric, framed in solid oak.
