Przedmiotem aukcji są kolumny Mordaunt Short Pageant Series 2.
Smaczek dla koneserów dobrego dźwięku z dawnych lat. Wykonanie oraz brzmienie bardzo podobne do ówczesnych konstrukcji KEF czy Monitor Audio. Zastosowano w nich głośniki:
-tweeter Isophon KK10 kopułka 25mm
-woofer DSB208 208mm prawdopodobnie wykonany przez firmę Dalesford
Takie zestawienie głośników często stosowała firma Monitor Audio w swoich audiofilskich konstrukcjach.
Obudowy wykończone naturalnym fornirem z zewnątrz jak i wewnątrz.
Brzmienie z ciepłą barwą, aksamitną górą i zaskakująco dużą ilością basu.
Kolumny mają wysoką efektywność, zagrają nawet ze słabszą lampą.
Są dość duże 533mm x 330mm x 230mm, dlatego wysyłka na dwie paczki.
Kolumny w pełni sprawne techniczne, oryginalne głośniki jak i zwrotnice.
Obudowy jak na te lata oceniłbym na stan dobry. Noszą ślady użytkowania, zapraszam do galerii.
Kable głośników niskotonowych zostały wymienione na miedziane typu solid core, zaowocowało to lepszym uporządkowaniem dźwięku i zwiększeniem dynamiki. Oryginalne dodaję w komplecie.
Tabliczka znamionowa z jednej kolumny się odkleiła, także załączam ją do kompletu.
Specyfikacja techniczna i opis z katalogu Mordaunt Short.
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.System Design: Resistively loaded reflex enclosure with mid and upper frequency controls for compensation of acoustic balance in adverse listening conditions. For use horizontally or vertically not less than 300mm from floor.Cabinet: 15mm high-density board construction with internal bracing, sides wood veneered with internal balancing veneers; rear spray finished neutral fleck.Grille: Acoustically transparent, deep brown woven fabric on 9mm board frame with nylon stud fastenings.Cabinet Finish: Selected teak or walnut veneer.Transducers: Bass/mid-frequency: DSB208. High-frequency: 25mm wide dispersion synthetic dome.Dividing network: High grade, ferrite core inductors and low-loss, close tolerance capacitors on printed circuit board.Electrical Connections: Terminal moulding, incorporating both standard DIN socket and spring-loaded push-button connectors for stripped wire ends. Plugs and leads supplied.Dimensions: 533mm high x 330mm wide x 230mm deep.Weight: single speaker, unpacked: 9.6Kg. Per pair, packed: 22.25Kg.Performance Data.Nominal Frequency Range: 25-25,000 Hz.Specific Frequency Response: 65-20,000 Hz. +/-3dB.Acoustic Balance Controls: Independent toggle switches affording four choices of frequency response: Mid-frequency: level or -2dB, 1000-3,500 Hz. High frequency: level or -2dB, 3,500-25,000 Hz.Impedance: 8 Ohms nominal. For use with amplifiers of 4-8 Ohms output impedance.Sensitivity: 6.5V r.m.s (5.3 watts) to produce 96dB at 1 metre in anechoic conditions using pink noise.Maximum Sound Pressure Level: 110dB in typical listening-room.Continuous Programme Rating: 20V r.m.s (50 watts) contoured random noise, including transients up to 56V 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% total harmonic distortion within frequency range of 150-25,000 Hz at 6.5V r.m.s input (nominal 96dB sound pressure level).Fundamental System Resonance: 65 Hz.Dividing Frequency: 3,500 Hz.Filter Characteristics: Low pass: 12dB/octave. High pass: 18dB/octave.DSB208 Low distortion bass-and mid-frequency transducer.Mordaunt-Short's bass-and mid-frequency transducer, the DSB208, is a versatile high performance unit designed for the accurate reproduction of programme material at realistic sound levels.By combining a long-throw voice coil, linear suspension, critically damped cone and compliant roll surround, the DSB208 shows to greatest advantage when the unit is used with advanced amplifiers of high power; nevertheless, the acoustic efficiency of the unit is such as to enable it to enhance the output of quality amplifiers even of low power ratings.Specification.Chassis: 208mm nominal diameter, zinc plated heavy gauge steel.Magnet: High flux assembly employing 90mm diameter ceramic ring.Cone: 140mm diameter; heavy duty impregnated paper specially treated with viscous damping materials.Surround: Ultra-linear, compliant, inverted-roll surround of a synthetic material inherently self damping.Voice Coil: 26mm diameter, long throw, high temperature coil, wound on laminated former.Dimensions: Diameter: 208-244mm. Depth: 112mm.Weight: 1.5Kg.Performance Data.Nominal Frequency Range: 20-5,000 Hz.Impedance: 8 Ohms nominal.Nominal Sensitivity: 6.5V r.m.s (5.3 watts) to produce 96dB at 1 metre in anechoic condition using pink noise.Fundamental Resonance: 30 Hz in free-air.Continuous Programme Rating: 20V r.m.s (50 watts) contoured random noise when operating within frequency range 25-5,000 HZ.
