A little bit out of the ordinary, appealing to those with a specialist interest, those appreciative of the finest construction and materials. The FB 1000 is the pinnacle of PHILIPS loudspeaker design. Though incorporating four drive units the FB 1000 is basically a World-Class two way loudspeaker. The lower two drivers (a super tweeter and second woofer) are "contour definition transducers" to provide real bass below 150Hz and to extend treble out to 40kHz. The complete four-way package is a true high-performance loudspeaker with maximum 300W high-power handling. The computer designed cabinet is divided into two independent non-parallel compartments giving an ideal air load for the two bass drivers and minimizing internal standing waves further reducing colouration.
All new bass drivers have been developed for this exceptional loudspeaker. A newly developed mix of polypropylene and chopped carbon fibres is injection moulded to form exceptionally rigid, lightweightcones. Low colouration, Isophase ribbon tweeters and super tweeters are used for fast transient response, low colouration and zero phase shift. A computer developed high-performance crossover integrates these drivers @ 500Hz/2,2kHz/13kHz. A rebadged version of this model was the marantz LS-95, part of their Music Link series products. Both loudspeakers were manufactured at the PHILIPS factory in Belgium.
Specifications: 40 Hz -40 kHz (-6dB) / 47 Hz - 32 kHz (+/- 2 dB) / Power Nominal 180W / Max. 300 W / 1360*400*340mm / 70 kg
