| ANATECH Loudspeaker, LS-1. |
![]() |
| - Excellent amplitude and
phase response - Superb inter driver integration - High efficiency - Adaptable to different room acoustics - Carefully tailored dispersion - Finest furniture finish in Cherry with solid Walnut edge insertions |
| The loudspeaker is a two-way system utilizing an 8" midwoofer and a 1" tweeter. |
The woofer has a hand
coated short fiber lightweight pulp membrane with a dust
cup in a very thin mineral filled polypropylene, fitted
to the membrane with a high damping PVA adhesive. The
motor system has a T-shaped pole piece for maximum flux
linearity and ventilation through the bobbin. The very
light surround is carefully damped by a coating on the
inner rim. The driver uses an injection molded magnesium
chassis. |
The tweeter has a
membrane in dry coated synthetic silk (is not hygroscopic
as natural silk) for maximum environmental stability. The
driver is ventilated through the bobbin and is damped and
cooled by a light ferrofluid in the magnetic gap. The
organic fiber acoustic damping behind the dome membrane
totally absorbs the back wave, yielding a response
virtually free of interference from internal reflections. |
The crossover filter uses
only the finest components, such as high voltage super
linear polypropylene capacitors, air winded inductors in
oxygen free copper (OFC) and resistors with adequate
power capacity and temperature stability. All internal
wiring is done by cables using silver clad OFC strands
and polypropylene insulation. |
The speaker cabinet
is built in 25, 19 and 10 mm MDF-board. It has supporting
inner walls between all outer walls. The backside of the
cabinet houses the integrated rectangular ultra low
compression and wind noise free reflex port. Precision
cut foamed polyether is used for all internal damping. |
| Specifications | ||
| Frequency response | : | 32 - 19 000 Hz (in room response typically better than 28 - 23 000 Hz , - 6 dB). |
| Band limitation characteristics |
: | HP (bass) = 4th order low-Q
under tuned response (renders a beautifully deep and
articulated bass without loosing a naturally rich tonal
quality). LP (treble) = 5th order linear phase
Bessel response (gives superb control and an
extraordinarily airy top end, absolutely free from
ringing). |
| Linearity within pass band | : | Better than +/- 2 dB. |
| Phase response | : | Phase response is within +/- 55 degrees
from 0,1 - 6 kHz. (The system exhibits minimum phase
characteristics from 0 - 34 kHz except for a second order
allpass function centered around 3,8 kHz). |
| Tonal adjustments | : | The speaker can be strapped in four
different ways on the back panel. The range above 4,5 kHz
can be lowered 2 dB by removing a strap. The range
between 300 Hz and 2 kHz can be emphasized 2 dB by adding
a strap. The former action is suitable when the speaker
is used in acoustically very "edgy" rooms. The
latter is preferred when clarity is lacking, usually in
large lively rooms. Standard strapping is; right strap
(highs) on, left strap (mids) off. The linearity claims
are valid with all four strapping combinations except
when midrange is emphasized and high range is damped.
(The loudspeaker crossover filter can also be equipped
for professional monitor use. When so there is an extra
switch on the back panel, adding energy in the 2 - 4,5
kHz range when activated. In this monitor mode, the
speaker should be used only in acoustically treated
studio environments, where it will exhibit a response
typically within +/- 1 dB). |
| Nominal impedance | : | 5,5 ohms (min 4 ohms @ 33 & 220 Hz). |
| Sensitivity | : | 92 dB @ 2,83 volt, 1 meter. |
| Directional index | : | At 15 degrees horizontally the
sensitivity is about 1 dB down above 150 Hz. At 45
degrees it is 4 dB down. This makes the speaker ideally
suitable for room sizes between 12 and 60 m2 (130 - 650 sq. ft). |
| Dispersion quality | : | Within a 30 degree window (i.e. +/- 15
degrees horizontally) there is less than 1 dB deviation
from listening axis response 0 - 14 kHz directional index
deducted. At +/- 45 degrees the deviation is less than
2,5 dB (up to 10 kHz). |
| Crossover | : | 3 050 Hz, modified acoustic L - R. LP =
acoustic Bessel-approximation (- 6 dB @ Fcr). HP =
pole-separated 4:th order acoustic response (- 6 dB @
Fcr).The phase integration between the drivers is
exceptional, giving lobe losses within the entire audible
range of less than 0,3 dB. The Outputs from both drivers
are added constructively from 0 Hz and up to more than
one octave above Fcr. |
| Long time maximum power (IEC 268 - 5) |
: | > 80 W. |
| Max dynamic power | : | 400 W. |
| Voltage needed to use the full linear dynamic capacity of the speaker in the low frequency range | : | 10 volt RMS (12,5 W in 8 ohms, 25 W in 4
ohms), which will generate 104 dB in listening position
(3 meters) from two loudspeakers in an ordinary room. The
speaker can actually be driven to impressive dynamic
levels with as little as a couple of volts RMS. |
| Recommended amplifier size (Watts / Volts) | ||
| Calculated in 8 ohms Calculated in 4 ohms |
: : |
2 - 100 W (4 - 28 volts RMS). 4 - 200 W (4 - 28 volts RMS). |
| Optimum drive impedance | : | 0,2 ohms (driven within the interval 0,1
- 0,3 ohms, the frequency response will change less than
+/- 0,2 dB). |
| Dimensions | : | 30 x 51 x 45 cm (width x height x depth). |
| Weight | : | 20 kg each. |
| Finish | : | Cherry veneer with details in solid
walnut. Black absorbing felt on tweeter part of front
baffle. |
