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.

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).
