Mordaunt-Short Pageant Series 2

 The Mordaunt-Short PAGEANT SERIES 2 offers musical reproduction of the highest quality, a response of the utmost smoothness over the entire audible spectrum and a clarity of detail previously associated only with professional equipment.

 Incorporating the DSB208 bass- and mid-frequency transducer, a carefully matched synthetic dome tweeter of exceptional dispersion characteristics and independent controls for adjustment of the acoustics balance in adverse listening conditions, the PAGEANT SERIES 2 is thus a full frequency high performance system to be used to advantage with compatible equipment of virtually any power rating.

Specification and Performance Data.

Nominal Frequency Range:  25 - 25,000 Hz

Specific Frequency Response:  65 - 20,000 Hz (±3 dB)

Acoustic Balance Controls:  Independent toggle switches affording four choices of frequency response:

Mid-frequency :  level or -2 dB, 1,000 - 3,500 Hz.

High frequency :  level or -2 dB, 3,500 - 25,000 Hz.

Impedance:  8 Ω nominal. For use with amplifiers of 4-8 Ω output impedance.

Sensitivity:  6.5 V r.m.s (5.3 watts) to produce 96 dB at 1 metre in anechoic conditions using pink noise.

Maximum Sound Pressure Level:  110 dB in typical listening-room.

Continuous Programme Rating:  20 V r.m.s (50 watts) contoured random noise, including transients up to 56 V peak to peak.

Amplifier Power Compatibility:  15 - 100 watts per channel. Amplifiers of higher power may be used with care.

Distortion:  Substantally less than 1% THD within frequency range of 150 - 25,000 Hz at 6.5V r.m.s input (nominal 96 dB sound pressure level).
