Scratch resistant walnut grain vinyl enclosures, designed for vertical or horizontal placement

Attractive, removable flat cloth grilles, selected for maximum acoustic transparency

 

Sony's acoustic suspension speaker systems offer exceptionally weill defined sound, with bass response not likely to be found in other 2-way systems. In accord with Sony engineering standards which demand the lowest possible levels of system distortion and coloration, the speakers fulfill strict specification requirements. Listeners will be impressed with the sound which results, especially when they compare the Sony speakers with systems of similar design and capacity.

Feature and performance Highlights

The Sony 2-way acoustic suspension speaker systems have cone drivers, placed in extra thick particle board enclosures which are fully sealed, and lined with fiber glass. This construction avoids air leakage which would cause deterioration in bass response and allows a high power handling capability (50 W RMS, weighted pink noise continuous). Thus good response is assured, with a constant sound pressure level, minimum noise and distortion and good damping.

The two cone tweeters are also sealed tightly, creating a constant sound pressure level which precludes interference from the woofers and assures an ideal foll-off of low frequencies. In addition, the outside edge of the cones are treated with speciaal damping material, smoothing out frequency response even further and limiting coloration.

Equal care has been given to exterior design. Housed in hand-some walnut grain vinyl enclosures, with complementary flat cloth grilles, the speakers will look as great as they sound in every listening room.
