An ambitious offering developed by Sony’s audio business group, which had just been formed. The speakers effectively updated the Sony image in this category, with features such as carbon cones, an inline speaker layout (arranged on the same vertical and horizontal axes), and a grooved baffle to prevent standing waves for better acoustics. Audiophiles will also notice other details in the original style, such as the way the woofer edge protrudes from the baffle. The 38cm woofer with a voice coil of 100mm diameter and with low-distortion magnetic circuit reproduces deep and rich bass sound. The 3.5cm tweeter and 10cm nid-range of balanced-drive type has an excellent performance and high linearity that will reproduce a well-balanced sound in high and mid frequencies. The baffle board is grooved in lattice pattern to improve the acoustical effects and directivity. In accordance with your personal preference and the room acoustics, the tweeter and mid-range levels can be adjusted by front panel controls.
