Mitsubishi Audio's
MS-40 floor-standing loudspeaker system is a new top-of-the-line model that
utilizes light and extremely rigid aluminum honeycomb in the woofer; the
honeycomb is sandwiched between layers of glass fiber reinforced plastic to
produce powerful bass response with excellent definition and clarity, according
to the company. Ferro-nickel rings inn the woofer and midrange reduce
distortion to a tenth of that in conventional designs. It's claimed, and a gain
of 20 dB can be observed. The dome tweeter is nested in a cone-like recess to
give a crisp, clear edge to transients and unusual smoothness to the highest
frequencies.
The tweeter's edge
material is of butyl rubber, which also permeates the foamed polystyrene that
fills the cavity behind the hybrid dome tweeter. The tweeter also incorporates
a drive magnet with very high flux density. A very sharp slope of 18 dB per octave
for the high-pass filter between midrange and tweeter was selected as optimum.
Inductors are dipped in special varnish to modify impedance characteristics of
the crossover elements, capacitors with very low loss factors are used, and
resistors are of special silicon-dipped material.
The speaker measures
15-3/8 inches in width, 15-5/16 inches in depth, and on its permanently
attached base, it stands 34-5/8 inches high. If that's too tall for you, you
can take the base off by loosening a set of holding screws.
The enclosure is
finished in carefully matched walnut veneer, even on the front panel,, so you
can play the speaker with the grille removed to show off its impressive array
of drivers.
Its weight of 77
lbs, gives a clue too the solidity of the overall construction.
