GO TO PROJECT!

The Drivers used are from SB Acoustic and they have an excellent price / quality ratio: Teeter SB-19ST-C000-4 ( 17.00€!), Woofer SB12PFC25-4-R (19.00€!) (click on code for Datasheet).  They really impressed me and that’s why I decided to make also a passive version of this speaker so that you can drive them with any amplifier you like or own. The Tweeter is very well made and has a great dispersion and out of axis behaving. Nice frequency response and very good distortion that stays low also at 95db level from 3000 Hz up (the crossing point I choose). And the most of all it has a very good sound, pleasant middle high and detailed but not tiresome high frequencies, lovely drive. The mid woofer is also very well constructed, it has a plastic basket that greatly makes the job. A powerful magnet that allows this little driver of a linear +-5mm excursion. The driver is a 30 watt one so don’t aspect to “brake down the house” but with any 4 inch drivers it wouldn’t make any sense. Still in the Felix this drivers will go down to 48 Hz -3db and in room you will get even more. The response is linear till 1000 Hz and from 2200 till 8000 Hz. We have a deep at 1800 Hz that “characterizes” a bit the sound of this driver but in room listening this aspect gets less preeminent as you will see from the measures in Room. Distortion is good with a pick around 2000 Hz, pick that at a level of 95 db stays at  1.6% in the H3 (driver without crossover and cabinet). The overall good construction and this nice “paper” cone brings to a very pleasant sound and natural. And despite the small size of the driver the SB12PFC25-4-R is capable to give us a fair amount of bass information, precisely and with a surprising “punch”. /  I componenti della SB Acoustic dal rapporto prezzo qualitá sorprendente: Tweeter SB-19ST-C000-4 (17.00€!),  Woofer SB12PFC25-4-R (19.00€!)
